Working with Event Logs and Syslog Servers
Enabling Logging and Sending Event Logs to a
Syslog Server
If you have a syslog server on the network, you can configure the Access Point to send
the device logs to the server. You will need to enable logging (logging is disabled by
default), and then configure the Access Point to send logs to the syslog server.
1. Go to Administration > Log. The Administration :: Log page appears.
2. Look for Log Status, and then click Enabled.
3. After enabling logging, configure the following options:
•
Syslog Server Address [Optional]: To enable the AP to send messages to a
syslog server as they appear, enter the IP address of the syslog server.
•
Syslog Server Port: By default, the syslog port number is 514. If the syslog
server is using a different port, enter that port number in this field.
4. Click Update Settings to save and apply your changes.
