To start Kiwi Syslog server just click, start Kiwi Syslog server like you would
any other Windows application.
In this case, I want to continue using the trial, so I'm going to click close.
Now, notice under display there are various options, display 1
up to 24.
I'm going to leave it as display 00 the default
but notice in the RFC
we have what are called facilities and severity values. So facilities and severity values are not normative
but are often used, they are described in the following tables for information purposes only, facility values
values must be in the range 0 to 23 inclusive.
This allows you to filter your Syslog messages, so as an example kernel
messages could use numerical code
0 mail systems could use 2, user-level messages 1 FTP 11 and so forth and so on.
So if you are collecting Syslog messages from many devices, you may want to filter your Syslog messages
based on a facility.
For now, I'm just going to set it at the default.
Now on this PC,
I'm using an IP address of 192.168.1.108 and the router is configured with
an IP address of 192.168.1.254.
I've connected it to FastEthernet 1/0 on this router, so on router 1 interface f1/0.
So I'm going to specify an IP address of 192.168.1.254 the default
gateway as configured on the PC.
Now, that overlaps with an IP address used to connect to the outside world, so shut that interface
down, go back onto f1/0,
configure the IP address.
Can it ping
the server?
At the moment, not that I forget the obvious, yes, I did.
So interface f1/0 no shut,
try again,
I can ping the server now.
On the PC ping, 192.168.1.254,
can it ping router 2 loopback?
Yes, it can.
So this server can ping the loopback of router 2 which is being advertised through OSPF. I'll remove this
link for now because we're not using
the cloud, so my network looks as follows, I've got my Syslog server and my two routers.
So now let's configure Syslog.
