Defining Syslog Servers
The ETEP can send log messages to a syslog server. The ETEP does not impose a limit on the number of
syslog servers that can be used. Syslog messages are sent from the management port using port 514 in
standard syslog format (RFC 3164). When the facilities are displayed at the syslog server, they appear as
Local 0 - Local 4, not as ETEP-specific categories such as data plane, PKI, SNMP, or distkey. See Table
96 for a mapping of log facility names to the numeric syslog designation.
When you configure a syslog server, the messages from all of the facilities are sent to that server,
according to the configured priority for each facility. You cannot exclude specific facilities from the list.
To define a syslog server:
1 Under Syslog Servers, click Add.
2 In the Syslog Server window, enter the IP address of the syslog server.
With ETEP software version 1.6 and later, you can use either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
3Click OK.
