The System Log Configuration page has the following parameters:
- Server Mode: Indicates the server mode
operation. The syslog protocol is based on UDP
communication and received on UDP port 514, and
the syslog server does not send acknowledgments to

packet always sends out even if the Syslog server
does not exist. The following are the possible
modes:
- Enabled: Enables server mode operation
- Disabled: Disables server mode operation
- Server Address: Indicates the IPv4 host address of syslog server. If the switch provides DNS feature, then it can also be a domain name.
