Pre-requisites
To configure a secure connection from the switch to the syslog server:
1. On the switch, enable the SSH server
Dell(conf)#ip ssh server enable
2. On the syslog server, create a reverse SSH tunnel from
the syslog server to the switch, using following syntax:
ssh -R <remote port>:<syslog
server>:<syslog server listen port>
user@remote_host -nNf
In the following example the syslog server IP address is
10.156.166.48 and the listening port is 5141. The
switch IP address is 10.16.131.141 and the listening
port is
5140
ssh -R 5140:10.156.166.48:5141
admin@10.16.131.141 -nNf
3. Configure logging to a local host. locahost is “127.0.0.1”
or “::1”.
If you do not, the system displays an error when you
attempt to enable role-based only AAA authorization.
Dell(conf)# logging localhost tcp port
Dell(conf)#logging 127.0.0.1 tcp 5140
