IPv6 Embedded Management Components

Syslog

The Cisco system message logging (syslog) process in IPv6 allows users to log syslog messages to external syslog servers and hosts with IPv6 addresses. This implementation allows user to specify an IPv4-based logging host (syslog server) by providing the host’s IP address in IPv4 format (for example, 192.168.0.0) or IPv6 format (for example, 2001:DB8:A00:1::1/64).

Configuring Syslog over IPv6

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

enable

Example:


Device> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:


Device# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

logging host {{ip-address | hostname } | {ipv6 ipv6-address | hostname }} [transport {udp [port port-number ] | tcp [port port-number ] [audit ]}] [xml | filtered [stream stream-id ]] [alarm [severity ]]

Example:


Device(config)# logging host ipv6 AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD::FFFF 

Logs system messages and debug output to a remote host.

Example: Configuring Syslog over IPv6

Device(config)# logging host ipv6 AAAA:BBBB:CCCC:DDDD::FFFF transport tcp port 1470
