Configuring Devices to Send Syslogs
PIX Devices
To configure PIX devices using Telnet:
Step 1 Connect to the device using Telnet and enter into the Global Configuration mode.
Step 2 Run the following commands:
logging host CiscoWorks IP address [in_if_name] CiscoWorks IP address [protocol /port] [format
emblem
], where:
in_if_name is the interface on which the syslog server resides.
CiscoWorks IP address is the address of the CiscoWorks server.
protocol is the protocol over which the syslog message is sent; either tcp or udp. PIX Firewall only sends
TCP syslog messages to the PIX Firewall Syslog Server.
You can only view the port and protocol values you previously entered by using the write terminal
command and finding the command in the listing—the TCP protocol is listed as 6 and the UDP protocol
is listed as 17.
port is the port from which the PIX Firewall sends either UDP or TCP syslog messages. This must be
same port at which the syslog server listens.
For the UDP port, the default is 514 and the allowable range for changing the value is 1025 through
65535.
For the TCP port, the default is 1470, and the allowable range is 1025 through 65535. TCP ports only
work with the PIX Firewall Syslog Serve
r.
format emblem is the option that enables EMBLEM format logging on a per-syslog-server basis.
EMBLEM format logging is available for UDP syslog messages only and is disabled by default.
