2-1.5 Log
Syslog is a standard for logging program messages. It allows separation of the software that generates
messages from the system that stores them and the software that reports and analyzes them. It can also
be used for generalized informational, analysis and debugging messages. Syslog is supported by a wide
variety of devices and receivers across multiple platforms.

Parameter descriptions:
Server Mode:
Select the server mode operation. When the mode operation is enabled, the syslog
message will send out to syslog server. The syslog protocol is based on UDP communication and received
on UDP port 514 and the syslog server will not send acknowledgments back sender since UDP is a
connectionless protocol and it does not provide acknowledgments. The syslog packet is always sent out
even if the syslog server does not exist. Possible modes are:
Enabled
: Enable server mode operation.
Disabled
: Disable server mode operation.
Server Address:
Enter the IPv4 hosts address of syslog server. If the switch provides the DNS feature, it
can also be a host name.
