Below is an example of a message with an IPv6 address in the HOST field:

TIMESTAMP Field

The TIMESTAMP field provides date with year, time with milliseconds and a time zone identifier in the
following format:
Below are several examples of valid time stamps:
In some cases, it is possible that a device may not have the knowledge of the date and/or time due to
hardware or software limitations. In such circumstances, the following string must be produced in the
TIMESTAMP field: "--- 00 0000 00:00:00.000 ---". Below is an example of a CiscoLog message from
a device which has no knowledge of date and/or time:
Devices which are not aware of their clock, may choose to provide an uptime as a relative measure of
time. If device is capable of providing uptime, it is recommended that does so as a substitute for
unavailable time stamp. If uptime is provided it must be provided with a standard uptime tag as outlined
in the CiscoLog Standard Tags specification.

IPv4 Address—IPv4 address should be represented in dot notation "x.x.x.x", where x is a decimal
value from 0 to 255 encoded as ASCII text. If an IP address is unknown, "0.0.0.0" (without quotes)
must be used as a place holder. Examples of valid IPv4 addresses are 0.0.0.0 and 212.1.122.11.
Below is an example of a message with an IPv4 address in the HOST field:
11: 212.1.122.11: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST: Bad request
received from device [1.2.3.4]. Missing header.
Below is an example of a CiscoLog message when FQDN, hostname or IP are all unknown:
11: 0.0.0.0: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST: Bad request received
from device [1.2.3.4]. Missing header.
IPv6 Address—IPv6 address representation must follow conventions outlined in RFC 3513, sections
2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. Specifically, all three conventions are supported. Both lower-case and
upper-case letters can be used in the IPv6 address, but the lower-case letters are recommended. If
an IP address is unknown, "0.0.0.0" (without quotes) should be used as the IP address. Examples
of valid IPv6 addresses:
1080:0:0:800:ba98:3210:11aa:12dd (full notation)
–
1080::800:ba98:3210:11aa:12dd (use of "::" convention)
–
0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3 (last 4 octets expanded as in IPv4)
–
0.0.0.0 (unknown FQDN, hostname and IP address )
–
11: 1080:0:0:800:ba98:3210:11aa:12dd: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC:
%BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST: Bad request received from device [1.2.3.4]. Missing header.
