Configuring a syslog IP Address
The syslog IP represents the IP address of the server that is running the syslog process. The syslog
daemon reads and forwards system messages to the appropriate log files and/or users, depending on the
system configuration. When one or more IP addresses are configured, the switch forwards all error log
entries to the syslog on the specified servers. Up to six servers are supported. See Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide for more information on configuring the syslog daemon.
When you configure a syslog IP address for a SilkWorm 24000 configured with two logical switches, it
is on a logical-switch basis. This means that for each logical switch, you must configure a syslog IP
address individually.
To configure the syslog IP address
1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3.
2. Click the Network tab (see Figure 3-2).
3. Enter a valid IP address in the New IP field (for example, 10.77.77.77).
4. Click Add.
The configured IP is displayed in the Syslog IP window.
5. Click Apply.
To remove a syslog IP address
1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3.
2. Click the Network tab.
3. Select a syslog IP from the table and click Remove.
4. Optional: Click Clear All to remove all of the syslog IP addresses.
5. Click Apply.
