Parameter description:
Server Mode :
Indicates the server mode operation. When the mode operation is enabled, the
syslog message will be sent out to syslog server. The syslog protocol is based
on UDP communication and is received on UDP port 514. The syslog server will
not send acknowledgments back to the sender since UDP is a connectionless
protocol and it does not provide acknowledgments. The syslog packet will
always send out even if the syslog server does not exist. Possible modes are:
Enabled: Enable server mode operation.
Disabled: Disable server mode operation.
Server Address 1 and 2 :
Indicates the IPv4 host address of syslog server 1 and server 2 (for
redundancy). If the switch provides a DNS feature, it also can be a host name.
Syslog Level :
Indicates what kind of message will be sent to syslog server. Possible modes
are: Info: Send information, warnings, and errors. Warning: Send warnings
and errors. Error: Send errors.
