Avoiding Potential Loss of TLS Syslog Logging

For Linux, by default, it takes about 15 minutes for kernel to end a TCP connection when transmitted data remains unacknowledged. This results in a potential loss of logs to TLS Syslog server during the 15 minutes window due to link down. ExtremeXOS 22.5 provides a command to reduce this window.
