Folks,

Is it possible to change the Default Syslog port from UDP 514 to say TCP 514?

Thanks

Hi,

Syslog port 514 is reserved for UDP only. Unfortunately, port 514/TCP is reserved for remote shell so it is not suggested also keeping TCP as a syslog port will block all the traffic if the syslog server is not available bcoz it is connection oriented.......

Regards

Hey thanks Mayur, I was too thinking on similar lines... infact even RFC 1700 says only UDP port, plus there are host of issues with TCP for Syslog...

Thanks
