HP Procurve Switches: Enable syslog to your HP iMC server

Enable syslog to your HP iMC server on your HP Procurve switches

Although SNMP works fine, you'll be missing alerts that your switches are generating. You'll see them in the switches logs and webgui, but these messages should really show up in iMC, such as CRC or Alignment Errors.

The logging command will allow you to set a remote syslog destination.

For Procurve 2524, 4108gl, 5308xl, 5412zl:
Telnet, logon as Admin, enter config mode, and type: logging 123.456.123.23
Use your iMC server as the IP address destination
