To configure a global syslog server for all access points that join this controller, enter this command:
config ap syslog host global syslog_server_IP_address
By default, the global syslog server IP address for all access points is 255.255.255.255.
Note
Make sure that the access points can reach the subnet on which the syslog server resides
before configuring the syslog server on the controller. If the access points cannot reach this
subnet, the access points are unable to send out syslog messages.
To configure a syslog server for a specific access point, enter this command:
config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address
By default, the syslog server IP address for each access point is 0.0.0.0, indicating that it is
Note
not yet set. When the default value is used, the global access point syslog server IP address
is pushed to the access point.
To see the MAC addresses of all the access points that are joined to the controller or that have tried
to join, enter this command:
