 There are three reference logback configurations distributed with this software:
  * `/home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback_file.xml`: logs floodlight messages to `/var/log/floodlight.log`
+ * `/home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback_syslog.xml`: logs floodlight messages to syslog system
  * `/home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback_stdout.xml`: logs floodlight messages to stdout
- * `/home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback_syslog.xml`: logs floodlight messages to syslog system
 
-The layer1transport service uses the file `/home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback.xml`, which by default is a symlink that points to `logback_file.xml`.  This default configuration logs to a file at `/var/log/floodlight.log`.  To use this default config, you must first create the logfile as follows:

+This requires using `logback_file.xml`, which configures floodlight to log to a file at `/var/log/floodlight.log`.  To use this config, you must first create the logfile with the appropriate permissions as follows:

+==== 5.b. Logging to syslog ====
+To log floodlight messages to syslog, just change the `logback.xml` symlink as follows:
+{{{
+sudo -u openflow rm /home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback.xml
+sudo -u openflow ln -s /home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback_syslog.xml /home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback.xml

+To log floodlight messages to stdout instead of a file, just change the `logback.xml` symlink as follows:
+{{{
+sudo -u openflow rm /home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback.xml
+sudo -u openflow ln -s /home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback_stdout.xml /home/openflow/floodlight/conf/logback.xml
