The solution is obvious. Employ a quality
control check system that doesn’t allow a router/switch to be placed in
to production with a misconfiguration.

Subject: {bb} MSGS and hostname
All,
We have an issue here occasionally where a router/switch
is misconfigured to send their syslog to the system log instead of the network
log. When this happens, BB will page us on {server}: msgs problems. This
is VERY annoying, and we would like it to stop. I have messed with
bb-msgstab and it does not seem the change I made is very effective. Could
someone offer some advice on how I tell BB "keep all your current msgs
configuration, but ONLY page when the hostname is {server}"? Any
help would be very appreciated!
