You need to correct the syntax as this:
Code:
#rsyslog clients, Process remote messages :fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.186" /var/log/syslogclient1.log
& ~

:fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.210" /var/log/syslogclient2log
& ~

Note the ampersand and tilde and you should be fine! Smilie

I'm not a Cisco expert though I have certifications from Cisco Smilie

But as far as I remember, you can redirect Cisco router or switch's logging information to a log server with the following IOS command. You do not need to install any client on them:
Code:
enable

conf t
logging IP_OF_THE_LOG_SERVER

sh logging

But again, I would request you to verify this from your end.

Just a question if in case if I need to add additional client server, do I need to add additional line in b/n - ampersand/tilde
Code:
#rsyslog clients, Process remote messages :fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.186" /var/log/syslogclient1.log
& ~
:fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.210" /var/log/syslogclient2.log
:fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.211" /var/log/syslogclient3.log
:fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.212" /var/log/syslogclient4.log
& ~

Thanks,

I'm sorry. I think I posted it wrong previously. You need to add the & and ~ after every client definition.
It should be like this:
Code:
:fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.210" /var/log/syslogclient2.log
& ~
:fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.211" /var/log/syslogclient3.log
& ~
:fromhost-ip, isequal, "10.99.55.212" /var/log/syslogclient4.log
& ~
