Configuring the Syslog Server for Access Points

Follow these steps to configure the syslog server for access points using the controller CLI.

Step 1 Perform one of the following:

•To configure a global syslog server for all access points that join this controller, enter this command: config ap syslog host global syslog_server_IP_address

Note By default, the global syslog server IP address for all access points is 255.255.255.255. Make sure that the access points can reach the subnet on which the syslog server resides before configuring the syslog server on the controller. If the access points cannot reach this subnet, the access points are unable to send out syslog messages.

•To configure a syslog server for a specific access point, enter this command: config ap syslog host specific Cisco_AP syslog_server_IP_address

Note By default, the syslog server IP address for each access point is 0.0.0.0, indicating that it is not yet set. When the default value is used, the global access point syslog server IP address is pushed to the access point.

Step 2 To save your changes, enter this command:

save config

Step 3 To see the global syslog server settings for all access points that join the controller, enter this command:

show ap config global

Information similar to the following appears:

AP global system logging host 255.255.255.255

Step 4 To see the syslog server settings for a specific access point, enter this command:

show ap config general Cisco_AP

Viewing Access Point Join Information

Join statistics for an access point that sent a CAPWAP discovery request to the controller at least once are maintained on the controller even if the access point is rebooted or disconnected. These statistics are removed only if the controller is rebooted.

Use these CLI commands to view access point join information:

•To see the MAC addresses of all the access points that are joined to the controller or that have tried to join, enter this command:

show ap join stats summary all
