Syslog server setup

3

You can configure up to four secure or non-secure syslog servers. When you add a syslog server,
you must specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the server. You can also specify the security mode
(secure or non-secure), and the port number on which the syslog server is listening. By default, the
security mode is non-secure, and the port number is UDP 514.

Brocade recommends configuring a different port number for secure TLS connections. You must
also set the same TLS port number on the secure syslog server to receive the log messages from
the switch. For secure syslog to function correctly, you must also import a syslog CA certificate.

Syslog configuration applies fabric-wide.

Adding syslog servers

To add a syslog server, perform the following steps.

1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-ras namespace.

2. Under the node, for each syslog server you want to add, include a

node element.

3. Under each node, include the following elements:

a. In the element, specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the syslog server you want

to add.

b. Include the empty element, to set the secure mode. Include the delete operation

in the element tag to set the non-secure mode.

The default value is non-secure mode.

c. Optionally, if secure mode is set, in the element, specify an IP port number.

The following example adds four syslog servers. It sets the secure mode on servers
192.168.163.233 and fec0:60:69bc:92:218:8bff:fe40:15c4 and specifies a port number for
each server. It also adds 192.168.163.235 and 192.168.162.326 in non-secure mode with
the default port value of 514.
