Logging
You can configure the AP-2500 to send system events and/or AAA events to network servers using the Syslog
protocol. You can specify a single server to receive both types of messages or you can specify a different server for
each message type.
General Syslog Information
• The Syslog message format is defined in RFC 3164 (see http://www.rfc-editor.org/).
• The AP transmits Syslog messages to the specified server(s) using the well-known UDP Syslog port (514).
• You need a Syslog server program running on a network computer to receive Syslog messages from the AP.
– Kiwi Enterprises has a freeware Syslog Daemon for Windows operating systems. You can download the
program at http://www.kiwisyslog.com/.
• Syslog Events are logged according to the level of detail specified by the administrator. Logging only urgent system
messages will create a far smaller, more easily read log then a log of every event the system encounters.
Determine which events to log by selecting a priority defined by the following scale:
Event Priority Description
LOG_EMERG 0 system is unusable
LOG_ALERT 1 action must be taken immediately
LOG_CRIT 2 critical conditions
LOG_ERR 3 error conditions
LOG_WARNING 4 warning conditions
LOG_NOTICE 5 normal but significant condition
LOG_INFO 6 informational
LOG_DEBUG 7 debug-level messages
