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 Brocade 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. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 31.
2. Click the Network tab (see Figure 16).
3. In the New IP field, enter r an IP address in either IPv4 or IPv6 format, or enter a DNS name.
4. Click Add.
The new IP address is displayed in the Syslog IP area.
5. Click Apply.
To remove a syslog IP address
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 31.
2. Click the Network tab.
3. Select a syslog IP in the table and click Remove.
You can click Clear All to remove all of the syslog IP addresses from the table.
4. Click Apply.
