Syslog Source Interface Configuration
Use this page to specify the physical or logical interface to use as the logging (Syslog) client source interface.
When an IP address is configured on the source interface, this address is used for all Syslog communications
between the local logging client and the remote Syslog server. The IP address of the designated source
interface is used in the IP header of Syslog management protocol packets. This allows security devices, such
as firewalls, to identify all source packets coming from a specific device.
