Syslog
Syslog is a standard for logging program messages. It allows separation of the software that generates messages
from the system that stores them and the software that reports and analyzes them. It can also be used for
general informational, analysis and debugging messages. It is supported by a wide variety of devices and
receivers across multiple platforms.
To configure Syslog in the web UI:
1.
Click Event Notification, Log, and Syslog.
2.
Enable the Server Mode.
3.
Specify the Server Address and Server Port parameters.
4.
Click Apply.

Parameter descriptions
:
Server Mode
: Set the Syslog server mode of operation. When the mode is enabled (on), a syslog message is
sent to the Syslog server. The Syslog protocol is based on UDP communication and received on UDP port 514.
The Syslog server will not send acknowledgments back to the sender since UDP is a connectionless protocol and
it does not provide acknowledgments. The Syslog packet is always sent even if the Syslog server does not exist.
Possible modes are:
on
: Enable server mode operation (enabled).
off
: Disable server mode operation (disabled). The default is off.
Server Address
: Enter the IPv4 host address of the Syslog server. If the switch has the DNS feature enabled and
configured, it also can be a domain name.
Server Port
: Indicates the service port of the Syslog server. The default is port 514.
