Event Management System (EMS) IPv6 Syslog Server Support

This feature adds support for the Event Management System (EMS) to send log messages to Syslog servers having IPv6 addresses.

The Event Management System supports the logging of event occurrences to external Syslog server targets. Each Syslog server target is identified by its IP address, UDP port, VRID, and local use facility (for example: “local0” through “local7”). Previously, the IP address of a Syslog server target was limited to the IPv4 address family; but with this feature it can be of the IPv6 address family.

Supported Platforms

Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, X770, and ExtremeSwitching X620, X440-G2 series switches

Changed CLI Commands

The existing EMS (“log”) commands relevant to Syslog server targets now support IPv6 server (and source, as applicable) addresses:

configure syslog add [ipaddress {udp-port udp_port}|ipPort] {vr vr_name} [local0...local7]

configure syslog delete [all | ipaddress {udp-port udp_port}| ipPort] {vr vr_name}{local0...local7}

configure log target syslog [all | ipaddress {udp-port udp_port} | ipPort] {vr vr_name} {local} from source-ip-address

[enable|disable] log target [ . . . | syslog [[all | ipaddress {udp-port udp_port} | ipPort] {vr vr_name} {local}]]

configure log target syslog [ipaddress {udp-port udp_port} | ipPort] {vr vr_name} [local] severity severity {only}

configure syslog [ipaddress {udp-port udp_port} | ipPort] {vr vr_name} [local] severity severity {only}

configure log target [ . . . | syslog [all | ipaddress {udp-port udp_port} | ipPort] {vr vr_name} {local}] match {any | regex}

configure log target syslog [all | ipaddress {udp-port udp_port} | ipPort] {vr vr_name} {local} format

unconfigure log target [ . . . | syslog [all | ipaddress {udp-port udp_port} | ipPort] {vr vr_name} {local} | . . . ] format

show log configuration {target { . . . | syslog {ipaddress {udp-port udp_port} | ipPort} {vr vr_name} {local} } | filter {filter-name}}
