Configures a switch to forward system messages to the configured syslog server(s) using RELP (Reliable Event Logging Protocol).
Global configuration mode
Use this command to configure forwarding all system logs entries to the configured logging servers using Reliable Event Logging Protocol (RELP).
You can configure up to four SYSLOG servers; this includes all VRFs. You must execute the command for each server. The crypto import syslogca command is required for secure SYSLOG to be fully functional. After specifying the ip_address and vrf-name parameters, the secure sub-command can be used to specify the secure default port (6514) or to specify a secure non-default SYSLOG server port.
These sub-commands are only available after specifying the ip_address and vrf-name parameters. Use the no logging syslog-server command with the optional use-vrf keyword to remove the specified IP address and VRF.
By default, all management services are enabled on the management VRF (mgmt-vrf) and the default VRF (default-vrf).
When enabling logging over RELP, keep the following in mind.
When rsyslog over is RELP is configured as secured with TLS, the certificates that are used for securing SYSLOG are used by rsyslog over RELP.
After turning on logging over RELP, and when you use the login credentials of the SYSLOG server, then the same credentials are used for logging over RELP.
RELP mode does not support syslog-server host configuration. This configuration is automatically blocked in the RELP mode. An error message is displayed.
