syslogAdmin syslogAdmin Configures a syslog server host. Synopsis syslogadmin --set -ip ip_address | hostname [-secure [-port port_num]] syslogadmin --set -facility level syslogadmin --remove -ip ip_address | hostname syslogadmin --show -ip | -facility syslogadmin --help Description Use this command to configure a switch to forward all error log entries to a remote syslog server, to set the syslog facility to a specified log file, to remove a syslog server, and to display the list of configured syslog servers. Brocade switches use the syslog daemon, a process available on most UNIX systems that reads and forwards system messages to the appropriate log files or users, depending on the system configuration. Up to six servers are supported. By default, the switch uses UDP protocol to send the error log messages to the syslog server. The default UDP port is 514. Use the -secure option to configure the switch to send the error log messages securely using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. TLS is an encryption protocol over the TCP/IP network protocol and it can be used only with the TCP-based destinations (tcp() and tcp6()). The default TLS port is 6514. While enabling secure syslog mode, you must specify a port that is configured to receive the log messages from the switch. Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details. Operands This command has the following operands: --set -ip ip_address | hostname Configures a syslog server with the specified IP address or hostname. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported. Only one syslog server can be specified at any given time. To configure more than one server, the command must be executed for each server. -secure [-port port_num] Enables secure syslog mode to send the error log messages securely using the TLS protocol to the syslog server. The secure syslog mode is disabled by default. The -port operand is optional. If secure mode is enabled and port number is not specified, the default TLS port number (6514) is set. --set -facility level Sets the syslog facility. Valid levels are 0 through 7. The default is 7. 0 LOG_LOCAL0 1 LOG_LOCAL1 Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1004112-02 1099
