Prerequisites for Remote Logging
To capture Kernel Log messages from the access point system, you must first set up a remote server
running a syslog process and acting as a syslog "log relay host" on your network. (For information on how
to set up the remote server, see “Setting Up the Log Relay Host” on page 70
.)
Then, you can use the CLI to configure the Professional Access Point to send its syslog messages to the
remote server.

To view the current log settings:
USR5453-AP# get log
Field Value
--------------------------
depth 15
relay-enabled 0
relay-host
relay-port 514
When you start a new access point, the Log Relay Host is disabled. From the above output for the " get
log
" command, you can identify the following about the Log Relay Host (syslog server):
• The syslog server is disabled (because "relay-enabled" is set to "0")
• No IP address or Host Name is specified for the syslog server.
• The access point is listening for syslog messages on the default port 514
Enable / Disable Log Relay Host
To enable the Log Relay Host:
USR5453-AP#
set log relay-enabled 1
To disable the Log Relay Host:
USR5453-AP#
set log relay-enabled 0
Specify the Relay Host
To specify the Relay Host, provide either the IP Address or a DNS name for the Log Relay Host as
parameters to the "set log relay-host" command as shown below.
• To specify an IP address for the syslog server:
Note
If you are using Instant802 Conductor, the Repository Server should receive the syslog messages
from all access points. In this case, use the IP address of the Conductor Repository Server as the
Relay Host.
