cisco8 runs IOS (which it must) whereas all the others run CatOS, thus the unique output. This is a normal/harmless message.

Nothing I tried seemed to make any difference, and the IOS reference guide is no help. I did change the syslog facility to local7 so that cisco8's messages will go into /usr/testbed/log/cisco-switches (like all the other switches). They were going into /var/log/cisco .
