Obtaining Syslog message from a Cisco Router

Hi,

I am new to this distribution list but wanted to find out if any one has
come across this issue before and could offer some pointers on getting
this started.

I am looking to dump the log files from various Cisco routers on to one
of various FreeBSD boxes we are running ( mainly FreeBSD 4.4 ) once the
logs have been dumped to then rotate these in a similar way that other
system logs files are rotated - dns, www and mail etc...

My question is - do I need to compile a specific syslog collector or
will syslog on its own be able to handle these messages? Also how can I
reconfigure logrotate to include these log files?

Many thanks, apologies if my questions are a little niave! 

Cheers
Ed
