Using SYSLOG

I need to remotely log errors from a network switch.

Can anyone advise on configuring SYSLOG on a Panther box to receive 
such messages and designate a file to log them to?

The switch config:
> 3. Configure remote logging by using the following command:
> config syslog {add} <ipaddress> <facility> {<priority>}
>
> where:
>  ipaddress Specifies the IP address of the syslog host.
>
>  facility Specifies the syslog facility level for local use. Options 
> include local0 through local7.
>
>  priority Filters the log to display message with the selected 
> priority or higher (more critical). Priorities include (in order) 
> critical, emergency, alert, error, warning, notice, info, and debug. 
> If not specified, only critical priority messages are sent to the 
> syslog host.
