The ETEP can send log messages to a syslog server. The ETEP does not impose a limit on the number of 
syslog servers that can be used. Syslog messages are sent from the management port using port 514 in 
standard syslog format (RFC 3164). When the facilities are displayed at the syslog server, they appear as 
Local 0 - Local 4, not as ETEP-specific categories such as data plane, PKI, SNMP, or distkey. See 

 for a mapping of log facility names to the numeric syslog designation.

When you configure a syslog server, the messages from all of the facilities are sent to that server, 
according to the configured priority for each facility. You cannot exclude specific facilities from the list. 

To define a syslog server: 
1 Under Syslog Servers, click Add.

2 In the Syslog Server window, enter the IP address of the syslog server.

With ETEP software version 1.6 and later, you can use either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. 

3 Click OK. 

Debug

Detailed processing status. Not recommended during normal operations. The 

volume of messages may negatively affect the performance of the 

management port. 

Informational

Information messages that do not relate to errors, warnings, audits, or 

debugging.

Notice

Normal but important events.

Warning

A problem exists, but it doesn’t prevent the appliance from completing tasks.

Error

Error conditions and abnormal events.

Critical

Critical condition, for example the appliance is prevented from accomplishing a 

task.

Alert

Immediate action required. The device will continue to run, but not all functions 

are available.

Emergency

Emergency; system unusable.
