Syslog considerations

Following are the pre-requisites before you start with syslog server configuration:

  • You must configure external syslog server which is the TLS compliant.

  • The syslog server must be reachable from at least one of the switch interfaces. For more information, see Configuring syslog server with TLS.

  • A client certificate with usage syslog or all must be pre-installed on the switch and client certificate TA must be installed on the syslog server.

  • A server certificate must be pre-installed on the syslog server and server certificate TA must be installed on the client switch.
