Troubleshooting Guide

Variable Value
ip-header-type <circuitless-ip|default> Specifies the IP header in syslog packets to circuitless-ip or
default.
• If the value is default, the IP address of the VLAN is used
for syslog packets that are transmitted in-band using input/
output (I/O) ports.
• If the value is circuitless-ip, then for all syslog messages
(in-band or out-of-band), the circuitless IP address is used
in the IP header. If you configure multiple circuitless IPs,
the first circuitless IP configured is used.
max-hosts <1-10> Specifies the maximum number of syslog hosts supported,
from 1–10. The default is 5.
Use the data in the following table to use the syslog host command.
Table 8: Variable definitions
Variable Value
1–10 Creates and configures a host instance. Use the no operator
before this parameter, no syslog host to delete a host
instance.
address WORD <0–46> Configures a host location for the syslog host. WORD <0–
46> is the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the UNIX system syslog
host in the format A.B.C.D or x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x. You can log
system log messages to external system log hosts with both
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses with no difference in functionality
or configuration using ACLI.
enable Enables the syslog host. Use the no operator before this
parameter, no syslog host enable to disable syslog host. The
default is disabled.
facility {local0|local1|local2|local3|local4|
local5|local6|local7}
Specifies the UNIX facility in messages to the syslog host.
{local0|local1|local2|local3|local4|local5|local6|local7} is the
UNIX system syslog host facility. The default is local7.
maperror {emergency|alert|critical|error|
warning|notice|info|debug}
Specifies the syslog severity to use for error messages. The
default is error.
mapfatal {emergency|alert|critical|error|
warning|notice|info|debug}
Specifies the syslog severity to use for fatal messages. The
default is emergency.
mapinfo {emergency|alert|critical|error|
warning|notice|info|debug}
Specifies the syslog severity level to use for information
messages. The default is info.
mapwarning {emergency|alert|critical|error|
warning|notice|info|debug}
Specifies the syslog severity to use for warning messages.
The default is warning.
secure-forwarding mode <none|ssh|tls> Specifies the mode of secure forwarding of syslog on the
