Syslog Message - Axis T8504-E User Manual

AXIS T8504–E Outdoor PoE Switch

SysLog Message

SysLog Message
The unit sends various event reports to an external IPv4/IPv6 host running a SysLog daemon application. The IPv4/IPv6 host logs
the events for future use. Configure SysLog server IP address by browsing to the unit configuration web page if SysLog events
are to be sent.
There are three categories of log events:
Broadcast IPv4 SysLog events - These log events are to be intercepted by any SysLog server on the LAN regardless of unit SysLog
configuration. This facilitates locating of unit IP on the network and reporting of major events such as unit recovery from power
failure, etc.
RFC3621 PoE traps - RFC3621 PoE traps are also sent as SysLog messages, which simplifies the readability of such events for the
remote user.
Proprietary SysLog events - These log events include potential failures or potential security breaches as when a remote user
tries to access with incorrect username over web/SSH, etc.

out of power suply maximum
power is sent when the PoE power
usage goes below the set value.
