Configuring multiple Syslog servers

Several devices in a network can be configured to generate Syslog messages. A Syslog Server
monitors the incoming Syslog messages on UDP ports and decodes the messages for logging
purposes. The Secure Router supports the configuration of up to five Syslog Servers. Because
the Syslog servers are logged simultaneously, they all contain the same Syslog records.
To achieve backward compatibility with the existing 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 apply to all configured servers. Configuration of
Syslog message logging on selected servers is not supported.
When viewing Syslog Server information, the SNMP interface can only display information for
one server at a time.
Use the following steps to configure multiple Syslog servers.
Procedure steps
1. To configure multiple Syslog servers, enter Configuration Mode.
2. Enter the system logging command tree.
3. Access the Syslog command tree.
