Remote Log Status
Enables/disables the logging of debug or error messages to the remote logging process. (Default:
Disabled)
Logging Facility
Sets the facility type for remote logging of syslog messages. There are eight facility types specified
by values of 16 to 23. The facility type is used by the syslog server to dispatch log messages to an
appropriate service.
The attribute specifies the facility type tag sent in syslog messages (see RFC 3164). This type has
no effect on the kind of messages reported by the switch. However, it may be used by the syslog
server to process messages, such as sorting or storing messages in the corresponding database.
(Range: 16-23, Default: 23)
Logging Trap Level
Limits log messages that are sent to the remote syslog server for all levels up to the specified level.
For example, if level 3 is specified, all messages from level 0 to level 3 will be sent to the remote
server. (Range: 0-7, Default: 7)
Server IP Address
Specifies the IPv4 or IPv6 address of a remote server which will be sent syslog messages.
Port
Specifies the UDP port number used by the remote server. (Range: 1-65535; Default: 514)
