Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide
A host name can consist of one or more labels, which are sets of up to 63
alphanumeric characters. If a host name includes multiple labels, each is
separated by a period (.). The entire series of labels and periods can be up
to 253 characters long.
•
Enable—Check to enable this remote log server, and then define the log
severity and UDP port.
•
Log Severity—Check the severities that an event must have for it to be sent
to remote log server.
•
UDP Port—Enter the logical port number for the syslog process on the
remote host. The range is from 1 to 65535. The default port is 514.
Using the default port is recommended. If you reconfigure the log port, make
sure that the port number that you assign to syslog is available for use.
Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
If you enable a remote log server, clicking Save activates remote logging. The
WAP device sends its kernel messages real-time for display to the remote log
server monitor, a specified kernel log file, or other storage, depending on your
configuration.
If you disabled a remote log server, clicking Save disables remote logging.
After new settings are saved, the corresponding processes may be stopped and
restarted. The WAP device may lose connectivity. We recommend that you change
the WAP device settings when a loss of connectivity will least affect your wireless
clients.
Use the Email Alert page to send messages to the configured email addresses
when particular system events occur.
The email alert feature supports mail server configuration, message severity
configuration, and up to three email addresses to send urgent and non-urgent
email alerts.
Do not use your personal email address, which would unnecessarily expose your
personal email login credentials. Use a separate email account instead. Also be
aware that many email accounts keep a copy of all sent messages by default.
