Sending Logs to an External Server
Removing a Logging Destination
CLI Maintenance Guide
You can configure the ARX to send its syslog messages to one or more external
servers. The external server receives log messages as they are generated and appends
them to its local syslog file.
From cfg mode, use the
logging destinations:
logging destination target [udp | tcp] [port port]
where
target (1-80 characters) identifies an external server. This can be an IP
address or, if you have a DNS lookups configured, a hostname. (To
configure the switch for hostname lookups, see
Lookups" on page 4-35
udp | tcp (optional) chooses a transport protocol to reach the external server.
This defaults to UDP if you omit it.
port port (optional, 1-65,535) selects a particular UDP or TCP port to
receive the log messages. The default is port 514.
You can use this command multiple times to configure multiple destination servers.
For example, the following command sequence configures two servers to receive
syslog messages:
bstnA6k(cfg)# logging destination 172.16.202.8
bstnA6k(cfg)# logging destination 10.1.1.90 tcp port 9999
bstnA6k(cfg)# ...
Use the no form of the
the list:
no logging destination target
where target (1-80 characters) identifies the server to remove. This can be an IP
address or a hostname.
