Syslog host on
the local network
E-DOC-CTC-20051017-0155 v1.0
The SpeedTouch™ can be configured to send all or a selection of generated syslog
messages to a host on the local or a remote network IP address.
This section describes how to configure the SpeedTouch™ syslog daemon to send
messages to a particular host.
The host to send the syslog messages to, should have syslog daemon software
installed for capturing the messages, and a known, fixed IP address.
By default, no traffic restrictions apply for the local network. Simply add a syslog
rule via the SpeedTouch™ syslog configuration web page or the CLI. Specify the IP
address of the host, and optionally refine the set of syslog messages to send.
You can specify one or a selection of (comma-separated) or all facilities.
Specifying a severity actually means to send syslog messages with a
severity as specified, and all messages with a higher severity.
For a priority listing see
The following example shows the configuration via the CLI for a syslog host on the
local network with fixed IP address 192.168.1.10 to send all generated syslog mes-
sages (all facilities, with severity debug and higher) to:
=>:syslog ruleadd fac=all sev=debug dest=192.168.1.10
=>saveall
=>
" Syslog priority
severities".
