Syslog Settings
The Mini AP Router supports a logging process that controls error messages saved
to memory or sent to a Syslog server. The logged messages serve as a valuable tool
for isolating Mini AP Router and network problems.
Figure 5-6. Syslog Settings
The displayed items on this page can be described as follows:
Remote Syslog — Enables the logging process when a server IP address is
configured.
• Server IP Address – The IP address of a Syslog server.
• Server Port – By default, the port used to listen for UDP syslog messages is 514.
If you specify another port, it must be in the range of 1024 to 65535.
Local Log — Setup the file definition of the logging message.
• Log Type – The log type used to store the logging messages; either a memory
circular buffer or in a file. Writing to a circular buffer is much faster than writing
messages to a file. However, new log messages will start to overwrite old ones
when the circular buffer is full. Note that all log messages are lost when the unit
reboots.
• Log File – The path and name of your log file.
• Log Size – The max size of your log in Kbytes.
