Sending the
System Log to a
Remote Server
The syslog protocol allows you to collect messages and events produced
by a wide variety of network equipment in a single place. For instance,
instead of viewing the event logs of several separate AT-8000/8POE Fast
Ethernet switches, you can have those events sent to a single syslog
server on your network. The destination for the events is referred to as a
facility.
To send the system events to a syslog server, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Tools menu, select Remote System Log.
The Remote System Log page opens, as shown in Figure 72.

through 7.
3. For the Remote System Log Status parameter, choose one of the
following from the list:
Disabled - To disable remote system logging.
