Configuring Secondary Syslog Servers
In addition to the primary syslog server (configured in Configuring the Primary Syslog Server Address), in the Syslog Servers table you can configure multiple (up to four) secondary syslog servers to where you want the device to send the syslog messages.
| ● | Configuring duplicated secondary syslog servers with the same address and port is invalid. |
| ● | Configuring duplicated secondary syslog servers with the same address and port as the primary syslog server is invalid. |
| ● | The syslog sequence number resets if the device is reset. |
The following procedure describes how to configure secondary syslog servers through the Web interface. You can also configure it through ini file [SyslogServers] or CLI (configure troubleshoot > syslog > syslog-servers).
