When remote logging is enabled, system log messages are sent to the
designated server. The syslog protocol is based on UDP and received on
UDP port 514. UDP is a connectionless protocol and does not provide
acknowledgments. The syslog packet will always be sent out even if the
syslog server does not exist.
