Explanation

Cisco IOS devices use 'local7' as the default Syslog facility code when sending messages to a Syslog server. Facility codes identify the source or type of the log message. The local0–local7 range is reserved for local use by administrators and vendors. Cisco chose local7 (facility value 23) as its default. You can change it with the 'logging facility' command, but without any configuration, all Syslog messages will be tagged with local7.
