4. In the Syslog server text box, enter the IP address of the server to which you want to send system logs.
5. Select the required values to configure syslog facility levels. Syslog Facility is an information field associated
with a syslog message. It is an application or operating system component that generates a log message.
The following seven facilities are supported by Syslog:
l AP-Debug— Detailed log about the AP device.
l Network— Log about change of network, for example, when a new W-IAP is added to a network.
l Security— Log about network security, for example, when a client connects using wrong password.
l System— Log about configuration and system status.
l User— Important logs about client.
l User-Debug— Detailed log about client.
l Wireless— Log about radio.
The following table describes the logging levels in order of severity, from the most to the least severe.
