Attribute Meaning
Syslog
Configuration
Source
This control determines whether the SM will attempt to use the syslog
server definition from the AP, or whether it will use a local server
definition.
When set to “AP preferred, use local when AP configuration
unavailable”, and if the SM can register with an AP, then it uses the
syslog server defined on that AP. If the SM cannot register then it
will syslog to its locally defined syslog server through its wired
connection, if any.
When set to “Local only” the SM ignores the AP’s definition of the
syslog server and allows the syslog server to be configured
individually for each SM.
Syslog DNS
Server Usage
To configure the SM to append or not the DNS server name to the
syslog server name.
Syslog Server The dotted decimal or DNS name of the syslog server address.
Syslog Server
Port
The syslog server port (default 514) to which syslog messaging is sent.
