Table 75 TIMESTAMP Field Format
Value
hh:mm:ss
A single space character must follow the TIMESTAMP field.
HOSTNAME Field
The HOSTNAME field contains the hostname.
If the field does not have a hostname, then it contains the device IP
■
address.
If a device has multiple IP addresses, common practice is to use the IP
■
address from which the message is transmitted.
An alternate method is to configure a device to send all messages using a
single source IP address, regardless of the interface from which the
message is sent. This provides a single consistent hostname for all
messages sent from a device.
The HOSTNAME field contains only the hostname, the IPv4 address, or
the IPv6 address of the originator of the message. The preferred value is
the hostname.
A single space character must follow the TIMESTAMP field.
Restrictions Following are the limitations in populating the
HOSTNAME field.
The hostname cannot contain any embedded spaces.
■
The domain name must not be included in the HOSTNAME field.
■
If the IPv4 address is used, it must be shown as the dotted decimal
■
notation.
If an IPv6 address is used, any valid representation used in RFC 2373
■
may be used.
A single space character must follow the HOSTNAME field.
