To activate Syslog services you need to tell the MultiCom where to send the Syslog messages and have software capable of listening for these messages. To enable Syslog enter "Syslog LogHost 10.0.0.10" where 10.0.0.10 is the IP address of the computer running a Syslog Daemon to capture the messages. There is 3rd Party Syslog software from http://www.kiwi-enterprises.com/ on your CD-Rom or available directly from their web site.

Below are some points to remember when using Syslog (much of it is in the Reference manual as well.)

  • the Syslog will give you notices for cold starts, failed logins, SecureWallâ„¢ blocked access, and leased line failure and recovery
  • the other notices are based on filtering rules with the word "log" attached to them
  • if you want to use filtering rules to create Syslog messages for data going to or coming from the MultiCom router directly you need to add "IP Filter RouterFrames On" to your configuration.
  • default values for Syslog are Facility = user, Priority = info. More messages are available when Priority is set to debug.

Below are some outputs from the Syslog of the Pocket MultiCom
