communication with syslog server

Post by fabiovfc »

Dear,

Good afternoon

I'm having trouble communicating the switch with the server. I implemented several lines of configuration based on research in this
community, so far without success. From what I saw it communicates with UDP port 514. I have already implemented the following
command lines.

swlog output socket 143.107.XXX.XX

swlog output socket 143.107.XXX.XX remote command-log
swlog console level info
command-log enable

From the CLI of the device, I can ping the server

See the show swlog command

SW_ALCATEL_60.XXX show swlog
Operational Status : Running,
File Size per file : 1250 Kbytes,
Log Device 1 : console flash socket,
Log Device 2 : ipaddr 143.107.XXX.XX remote command-log,
Syslog FacilityID : local0(16),
Hash Table entries age limit : 60 seconds,
Switch Log Preamble : Enabled,
Switch Log Debug : Disabled,
Switch Log Duplicate Detection : Enabled,
Console Display Level : info,
RFC5424 Format Logging : Disabled,
Swlog Threshold : 90 percent,
Swlog over TLS : Disabled

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong that I can't get this communication?

your command for syslog via UDP 514 is correct. Maybe you need to change the source-ip for swlog (ip service source-ip....)? Have you checked at the syslog server that the messages are really will not be received (wireshark f.e.)?
