Too many Syslogs from your Pix or FWSM

One of the benefits of having a firewall in your network is for the logging of the traffic that passes through it. By default when you turn on logging every single connection through the firewall is logged both on setup and teardown. In a high traffic network this can cause huge databases of syslogs and makes it much harder to find the events you are looking for. Here are a little of syslog messages you can turn off to elimate this unwanted chatty syslogs.
no logging message 109011
no logging message 305012
no logging message 305011
no logging message 302015
no logging message 302014
no logging message 302013
no logging message 304001
no logging message 302016
You will still see all of the denys and other events most people want to see. These commands should work both on the Cisco PIX models and the Cisco Firewall Switch Module.
