This command specifies the source-ip-address to use when sending log messages to the Syslog server. The Syslog server's IP address along with the ipPort and local facility (a tuple) identify which Syslog server target is to be configured.
| syslog | Specifies a Syslog target. |
| all | Specifies all of the remote Syslog servers. |
| ipaddress | Specifies the Syslog server‘s IP address. |
| udp-port | Remote Syslog server UDP port. Default 514. |
| udp_port | UDP port number. |
| ipPort | Specifies the UDP port number for the Syslog target. |
| tls_port | Specifies remote Syslog server Transport Layer Security (TLS) for connection type. |
| tls_port | TLS port number. |
| vr_name |
Specifies the virtual router that can reach the server IP address. Note: User-created VRs are supported only on
the platforms listed for this feature in the
ExtremeXOS and Switch Engine 31.7 Feature License Requirements
document.
|
| local0 ... local7 | Specifies the local Syslog facility. |
| source-ip-address | Specifies the local source IP
address to use. Note: The address family (i.e
IPv4 or IPv6) of the specified source IP address must be the
same as the address family of the Syslog
server's.

Use this command to identify and configure the Syslog server‘s IP address. By configuring a source IP address, the Syslog server can identify from which switch it received the log message.
If you do not configure a source IP address for the Syslog target, the switch uses the IP address in the configured VR that has the closed route to the destination.
The following command configures the IP address for the specified Syslog target:
configure log target syslog 10.12.1.15 from 10.234.56.78 configure log target syslog 2001:12:1::1 from 2001:44::1
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
The udp-port parameter and support for the EMS to send log messages to Syslog servers having IPv6 address was added in ExtremeXOS 21.1.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) option added in ExtremeXOS 22.1.
This command is available on ExtremeSwitching X435, X440-G2, X450-G2, X460-G2, X465, X590, X620, X670-G2, X690, X695, X870, 5320, 5420, and 5520 series switches.
