Parameter descriptions:
Mode: Select the server mode of operation. When the mode is “on” (enabled) syslog messages will be
sent out to the configured syslog server. The syslog protocol is based on UDP communication and
received on UDP port 514 and the syslog server will not send acknowledgments back to the sender
since UDP is a connectionless protocol and it does not provide acknowledgments. The syslog packet is
always sent out even if the syslog server does not exist. Possible modes are:
On: Enable server mode operation.
Off: Disable server mode operation.
Server 1 to 6: Indicates the IPv4 hosts address of syslog server. If the switch provide DNS feature, it
also can be a host name.
