Solution Ensure UDP port 524 is allowed between controller and external syslog server. This port is required for communication between both the units.
Steps to configure external sys-log server using controller CLI.
- Configure syslog server IP address:
Controller(15)# config terminal Controller(15)(config)syslog host X.X.X.X <----- Where X.X.X.X is the IP address of the external sys-log server. Controller(15)(config)exit
- Send station-log messages to external sys-log server:
Controller(15)# config terminal Controller(15)(config)station-log Controller(15)(config-station-log)syslog on Controller(15)(config-station-log)exit Controller(15)(config)exit
NOTE. All station logs will be sent to syslog server.
- To stop sending logs:
Controller(15)# config terminal Controller(15)(config)station-log Controller(15)(config-station-log)syslog off Controller(15)(config-station-log)exit Controller(15)(config)exit
