Guidelines

The local-address specifies the local address over which syslog log events are transmitted to a remote recipient.

  • For an SMTP log target, the local-address command is required. The log target uses TCP port 25.
  • For a syslog-based log target, the local-address command is optional.
    • For syslog via UDP, the log target uses port 25.
    • For syslog via TCP, the log target uses port 514.

For all other log types, the local-address command is not used.

Example

Specify the local interface used to transmit log messages to an SMTP server.
# type smtp
# local-address 10.10.13.4
