remote-port

This command specifies the listening port on the remote server.

Syntax

remote-port port

Parameters

port: Specifies the destination port that monitors traffic. The default value is 514.

Guidelines

The remote-port command specifies the listening port on the remote server. This command is relevant only when for an SMTP or syslog-based log target, as specified by the type command.

Use the remote-port command with the remote-address command to define the destination of transmitted log messages.

You can use SSL to establish a secure connection to a remote server. For this configuration, set the values of the remote-server and the remote-port commands to the values of a local SSL Proxy on the appliance. The local SSL Proxy, as defined by the Global sslforwarder command, can then forward log messages over a secure connection to the remote server.

Example

Set the address of an SMTP server that listens on port 5400.


# type smtp
# local address 10.10.13.4
# remote-address ragnarok.datapower.com
# remote-port 5400
