You can use reverse tunneling with the port forwarding to securely connect to a syslog server.
Figure 2. Setting Up a Secure Connection to a Syslog Server
Pre-requisites
To configure a secure connection from the switch to the syslog server:
1 On the switch, enable the SSH server
Dell(conf)#ip ssh server enable
2 On the syslog server, create a reverse SSH tunnel from the syslog server to the Dell OS switch, using following syntax:
ssh -R <remote port>:<syslog server>:<syslog server listen port> user@remote_host -nNf
In the following example the syslog server IP address is 10.156.166.48 and the listening port is 5141. The switch IP address is
10.16.131.141 and the listening port is 5140
ssh -R 5140:10.156.166.48:5141 admin@10.16.131.141 -nNf
3 Configure logging to a local host. locahost is "127.0.0.1" or "::1".
