logging secure
Creates a log file for various events related to X.509v3 certificates.
Syntax
logging {hostname} {secure | tcp | udp} [vrf vrf-name] [sha1 fingerprint] [port
port-number]
Parameters
hostname Enter the name of the host or device for which you wish to record logs corresponding to
the certificates.
NOTE: The hostname can be an IPV4 address, an IPV6 address, or a DNS
hostname—with or without DNS suffix.
secure Enter the keyword secure to enable the Syslog feature to communicate with a
compatible Syslog server using the secure TLS protocol over the default port (6514). The
range is from 1024 to 65535.
tcp Enter the keyword tcp to enable TCP.
udp Enter the keyword udp to enable UDP.
vrf vrf-name Enter the keyword vrf followed by the name of the VRF.
sha1 fingerprint Enter the keyword sha1 followed by the finger print. This option is only available when
the secure option is configured. This new option enables the Syslog feature to compare
the received certificate’s sha-1 fingerprint against this configured sha-1 fingerprint. If
present, only the fingerprint is used for certificate revocation validation.
port port-number Enter the keyword port followed by the port number. The default port number is 6514
for secure logging.
Defaults None.
