Use the Syslog Source Interface Configuration page to specify the physical or logical interface to use as the logging (syslog) client source interface. When an IP address is configured on the source interface, this address is used for all Syslog communications between the local logging client and the remote Syslog server. The IP address of the designated source interface is used in the IP header of Syslog management protocol packets. This allows security devices, such as firewalls, to identify all source packets coming from a specific device.
