Specify a Syslog Server

You can let the modem router send the logs to a syslog server on your LAN or to an external syslog server. The
modem router can also broadcast the syslog server message on your LAN.
To specify a syslog server and enable forwarding of log messages:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Administration > Logs.
The Logs page displays.
5. Scroll down to the Syslog section.
By default, the Disable button is selected and no log messages are forwarded.
6. Select how log messages are forwarded:
• Broadcast on LAN. The modem router broadcasts log messages on your LAN but does not send log
messages to a syslog server.
• Send to this Syslog server IP address. The modem router sends log messages to an internal or external
syslog server, for which you must enter the IP address.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
