Multiple Syslog Server Support - Avaya 1000 Series Configuration Manual

Multiple Syslog Server support

The Secure Router 1000 Series and 3120 provide support for multiple Syslog servers. A Syslog
Server monitors incoming Syslog messages on UDP ports and decodes them for logging
purposes. In addition, several network devices are now able to be configured to generate
Syslog messages. In the past, the Secure Router 1000 Series and 3120 only provided support
for logging on a single Syslog Server, but this enhancement allows for the configuration of up to
5 Syslog Servers. Since they are logged simultaneously, all Syslog servers will contain the
same Syslog records.
To achieve backward compatibility with previous Syslog implementation, the provision of a port
number during configuration of the host IP address remains optional. If a user does not specify
a port during CLI configuration, UDP port 514 is used by default. In addition, the enabling of
message logging remains unchanged.
As a limitation, all enable or disable functions will apply to all configured servers. Configuration
of Syslog message logging on selected servers is not supported.
Note that when viewing Syslog Server information, the SNMP interface can only display
information for one server at a time.
