facility − Some of the operating system daemons and processes have been assigned Facility values. Processes and daemons that have not been explicitly assigned a Facility may use any of the ‘local use’ facilities or they may use the ‘user-level’ Facility. Those Facilities that have been designated are shown in the table below (Bold font indicates the facility values that the Switch currently supports):
Numerical Code Facility
0 kernel messages
1 user-level messages
2 mail system
3 system daemons
4 security/authorization messages
5 messages generated internally by syslog
6 line printer subsystem
7 network news subsystem
8 UUCP subsystem
9 clock daemon
10 security/authorization messages
11 FTP daemon
12 NTP subsystem

21 local use 5 (local5)
22 local use 6 (local6)
23 local use 7 (local7)
local0 − Specifies that local use 0 messages are to be sent to the remote host. This corresponds to number 16 from the list above.

local2 − Specifies that local use 2 messages are to be sent to the remote host. This corresponds to number 18 from the list above.
local3 − Specifies that local use 3 messages are to be sent to the remote host. This corresponds to number 19 from the list above.
local4 − Specifies that local use 4 messages are to be sent to the remote host. This corresponds to number 20 from the list above.
local5 − Specifies that local use 5 messages are to be sent to the remote host. This corresponds to number 21 from the list above.
local6 − Specifies that local use 6 messages are to be sent to the remote host. This corresponds to number 22 from the list above.
