2. Console Logging: If you enabled Syslog, select whether or not to echo
Syslog messages to the console as they occur. If you enable console
logging, be sure to set the Console Logging level (see Step 9 below).
3. Local File Size (1-2000 lines): Enter a value in this field to define how
many Syslog records are retained locally on the AP’s internal Syslog file.
The default is 2000.
4. Primary Server Address (Hostname or IP) and Port: If you enabled
Syslog, enter the hostname or IP address of the primary Syslog server.
You may also change the port used on the server if you do not wish to use
514, the default port.
5. Secondary/Tertiary Server Address (Hostname or IP) and Port:
(Optional) If you enabled Syslog, you may enter the hostname or IP
address of one or two additional Syslog servers to which messages will
also be sent. You may also change the port used on each server if you do
not wish to use 514, the default port. You may set one of the server
addresses to the address of a server for Splunk (see “About Using Splunk
for Xirrus APs” on page 196).
6. Email Notification: (Optional) The following parameters allow you to
send an email to a designated address each time a Syslog message is
generated. The email will include the text of the Syslog message.
a. Email Syslog SMTP Server Address (Hostname or IP) and Port: The
hostname or the IP address of the SMTP server to be used for sending
the email. Note that this specifies the mail server, not the email
recipient. You may also change the port used on the server if you do
not wish to use 25, the default SMTP port.
b. Email Syslog SMTP User Name: Specify a user name for logging in
to an account on the mail server designated in Step a.
c. Email Syslog SMTP User Password: Specify a password for logging
in to an account on the mail server designated in Step a.

displayed in the email.
