Select Serial Bridging Mode and specify the IP address of the Server console server and the TCP port address of the remote serial port (for
RFC2217 bridging this will be 5001–5002).
By default, the bridging client will use RAW TCP. Select RFC2217 if this is the console server mode you have specified on the server console
server.

You may secure the communications over the local Ethernet by enabling SSH. You will need to generate and upload keys (refer to Chapter
15— Advanced Configuration).
5.1.7 Syslog
In addition to built-in logging and monitoring (which can be applied to serial-attached and network-attached management accesses, as
covered in Chapter 7—Alerts and Logging), you can also configure the console server to support the remote syslog protocol on a per serial
port basis:
Select the Syslog Facility/Priority fields to enable logging of traffic on the selected serial port to a syslog server; and to appropriately sort and
action those logged messages (that is, redirect them/send alert email etc.).
For example, if the computer attached to serial port 3 should never send anything out on its serial console port, the Administrator can set the
Facility for that port to local0 (local0 .. local1 are for site local values), and the Priority to critical. At this priority, if the console server syslog
server does receive a message, it will automatically raise an alert. Refer to Chapter 7—Alerts and Logging.
