device generates a messages, a relay receives and forwards the messages, and a collector (a syslog
server) receives the messages without relaying them.
syslog uses the UDP as its underlying transport layer mechanism. The UDP port that has been assigned
to syslog is 514. (RFC 3164)
VLAN
The term VLAN is used to refer to a collection of devices that communicate as if they are on the same
physical LAN. Any set of ports (including all ports on the switch) is considered a VLAN. LAN segments
are not restricted by the hardware that physically connects them. The segments are defined by flexible
user groups you create with the CLI.
