SysLog Support
SysLog protocol is an event notification protocol that allows a machine to send event notification
messages across IP networks to event message collectors known as SysLog servers.
You should use Syslogs only under the instruction of trained Nortel Networks service professional.
Syslogs are intended to be used by Nortel Networks support personnel to assist in debugging
problems.
Since each process, application and operating system was written somewhat independently, there
is little uniformity to SysLog messages. For this reason, no assumption is made on the contents of
the messages other than the minimum requirements of its priority.
SysLog uses UDP as its underlying transport layer mechanism. The UDP port that has been
assigned to SysLog is 514.
The SysLog message is transmitted as an ASCII message. The message starts with a leading
character "<" , followed by a number, which is followed by a ">". This is optionally followed by a
single ASCII space.
The number described above is known as the Priority and represents both the Facility and Severity
as described below. The Priority number consists of one, two, or three decimal integers.
