Send AP MAC to syslog server

albertofdez — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 19:40:05 GMT

Hi guys,

This command configures the syslog host for all APs

config ap syslog global host x.x.x.x

And this command configures the syslog host on the WLC

config logging syslog host x.x.x.x

Is the result of both commands the same?

Can both commands be used?

Are they sending different information to the syslog host?

The current Syglog Level that it has configured to send to the syslog server is the Informational level, additionally I have added these 2 extra commands through CLI, but the MACs of the APs still do not arrive
config logging syslog facility client associate enable
config logging syslog facility AP associate enable

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but I though that the first command configures the syslog of the APs themselves while the second command configures the syslog for the WLC itself.

You are right. I always configure both also with not issues. I haven’t really configured anything more to be honest than the two commands.

Hi Scott,

I imagine that you will not have any loss of connectivity between the APs and the WLC enter the command

config ap syslog global host x.x.x.x

it is right?

Hi guys,

As I imagined there is no interruption of service when entering these commands and now the APs send more information to the syslog server than just configuring the syslog server in the GUI of the WLC.

Thanks.
