Usage Guidelines

If different source interface information is configured on different devices, a log host can identify the device that sends logs based on the source interface address and differentiate the received log messages.

The source interface specified in the info-center loghost source command for a device to send logs to a log host is not necessarily the actual interface that sends the logs, but the IP address of the specified source interface is carried in logs.

An IP address has been configured on the source interface.

By default, the source interface for a device to send logs to a log host is the actual interface that sends the logs.

Example

# Configure the IP address of the interface Loopback0 as the source address of sending the packet.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] interface loopback 0
[sysname-LoopBack0] ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
[sysname-LoopBack0] quit
[sysname] info-center loghost source loopback 0
