Cisco WAP571/E Administration Guide
• Remote Log—Enables the AP to send log messages to a remote host. When
disabled, all log messages are kept on the local system.
• Server IPv4/IPv6 Address/Name—The IPv4 or IPv6 address, or the
hostname of the remote log server.
A hostname can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63
alphanumeric characters. If a hostname includes multiple labels, each is
separated by a period (.). The entire series of labels and periods can be up
to 253 characters long.
• UDP Port—The logical port number for the syslog process on the remote
host. The range is from 1 to 65535. The default port is 514.
Using the default port is recommended. If you choose to reconfigure the log
port, make sure that the port number you assign to syslog is available for use.
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
If you enabled a Remote Log host, clicking Save activates remote logging. The
WAP device sends its kernel messages real-time for display to the remote log
server monitor, a specified kernel log file, or other storage, depending on your
configurations.
If you disabled a Remote Log host, clicking Save disables remote logging.
After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and
restarted. When this happens, the WAP device may lose connectivity. We
recommend that you change WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will
least affect your wireless clients.
Use the email alert feature to send messages to the configured email addresses
when particular system events occur.
The feature supports mail server configuration, message severity configuration,
and up to three email address configurations to send urgent and non-urgent email
alerts.
Do not use your personal email address, which would unnecessarily expose your
personal email login credentials. Use a separate email account instead. Also be
aware that many email accounts keep a copy of all sent messages by default.
