Agent Syslog Configuration

Application
Syslog according to RFC 3164 is used for transferring short, unencrypted text messages
over UDP in the IP network. This requires a standard Syslog server.
Log book entries can only be sent when
● The Syslog function is enabled on the IE Switch (see section "Agent Configuration")
● The Syslog function is enabled for the relevant event (see A gent Event Configuration
menu item)
● There is a Syslog server in your network that receives the log entries from the IE switch.
(Since this is a UDP connection, there is no acknowledgment to the IE Switch)
● The IP address of the Syslog server is entered on the IE switch.
