Usage Guidelines

Parameter ip-address is the IP address of an interface of the FW. If ip-address and the IP address of the log host are not on the same network segment, ensure that the route between the FW and the log host are reachable.

If you run the commands repeatedly, the latest configuration overwrites the original one.

Example

# Set the IP address and port number that the FW uses to send logs respectively to 10.10.10.2 and 1234.
