Configuring central logging server for network devices

Hi

I am very well aware of configuring central logging (syslog)server on solaris to capture logs of other solaris servers. But don't know how to capture the logs of network devices like Juniper , cisco etc on solaris server. Is this possible through syslog server of solaris. Is there any way we can configure the syslog server without spending money for buying any third party tool.

Regards

It would all depend on the underlying OS. I've backed up syslogs on some Cisco devices by simply making the /var/adm/messages directory a mount point to an NFS mount on a Solaris box.
