Syslog and log server host settings

You can let the switch send log messages to one or more servers, that is, to remote
logging hosts. A remote log server is the same as a remote syslog host.

You must enable the server log on the switch and specify one or more remote syslog
host

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

The login page displays.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.

4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login
