Source
This control determines whether the BHS will attempt to use the
syslog server definition from the BHM, or whether it will use a
local server definition.
When set to “BHM preferred, use local when BHM
configuration unavailable”, and if the BHS can register with a
BHM, then it uses the syslog server defined on that BHM. If
the BHS cannot register then it will syslog to its locally
defined syslog server through its wired connection, if any.
When set to “Local only” the BHS ignores the BHM’s
definition of the syslog server and allows the syslog server to
be configured individually for each BHS.
Syslog DNS
Server Usage
To configure the BHS to append or not the DNS server name to
the syslog server name.
Syslog Server
The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address.
Syslog Server Port
The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is
sent.
Syslog
Transmission
Controls the BHSs ability to transmit syslog messages. When set
to “Learn from BHM” the BHM will control whether this BHS
transmits syslog messages. When set to “enable” or “disable” the
BHS will control whether it sends syslog messages. This allows
an operator to override the BHM settings for individual BHSs in
a sector.
