I followed this howto using rsyslog for Ubuntu but I imagine it would be similar in CentOS [https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-configure-rsyslog-centralized-log-server-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts/](https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-configure-rsyslog-centralized-log-server-on-ubuntu-18-04-lts/)

After that, just point your Cisco switch at this new rsyslog destination:

`logging host my.rsyslog.host.ip`

More information about logging for the Cisco 2900 series is here and I imagine that the commands are similar for most of their switches: [https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/12-2\_55\_se/configuration/guide/scg\_2960/swlog.html](https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/12-2_55_se/configuration/guide/scg_2960/swlog.html)
