Configure Rsyslog service
The D400 can be configured to accept system logs from an IED or any substation
equipment that can support the syslog remote logging feature. The D400 supports both
TCP- and UDP-based remote connections to the IEDs on the standard port numbers.
When configuring Rsyslog service in a redundant D400 setup:
• Start configuring Rsyslog service in the Active D400 (see section: “Rsyslog service
configuration procedure”).
• Reboot the device. Rebooting the device initializes Rsyslog with the newly committed
configuration.
• Once Active D400 is back online, sync the configuration to the Standby D400 and
reboot the Standby D400 as well. This ensures that both Active D400 and Standby
D400 configurations and firewall settings are in sync.
SECURITY NOTICE: The D400 Rsyslog service changes the firewall settings to allow
messages/logs on the configured port numbers for UDP/TCP based connections. These
rules update the Firewall rulesets once configured and rebooted.
While choosing a different port number configured for either TCP/UDP based connections,
ensure that no other application is using/running with the same port number in the D400.
In the firewall configuration, it is the user's responsibility to connect Internal zone
interfaces to networks that are protected from unauthorized use.
