Acess point syslog server configuration

[Ahmed Ayaad]

Dears,

 I have WISM 2 and try to configuring the syslog server for Access points  with the below command.

config ap syslog host global syslog_server_IP_address

But i found all APs communicate directly with syslog server & creates syslog host for each & every APs (that may lead to overwhelming our syslog server. So, i tried to disable or delete this command but i can't.

I need to know how i can delete this command from configuration.

Regards,

I need to know how i can delete this command from configuration.

Configure a fictitious IP address (like a known null route IP Address) is one method.

Yes, you are right but this totally refused from my customer is there any method better than that method

Using GUI, go to Management > Logs > Config and choose "Remove".

go to Management > Logs > Config and choose "Remove".

we can do that for syslog lserver IP address not for ap syslog.

Did you have a final solution for your question ?

You can login to AP and go to debug capwap mode:

debug capwap con cli
config terminal
no logging x.x.x.x
write

Commands done in the AP are temporary.  Once the AP goes through the boot, the config is pushed back to the AP. If the customer doesn't want the syslog ip, then configure it as default which is 255.255.255.255.  The other work around is to backup the config and edit it by removing g the command.  Then upload the config and reboot the controller.  Now the co fig is back to default for AP syslog.

Hi scott,

Your suggestion did not work :o(

(wc-re-1) >config ap syslog host global 255.255.255.255

ERROR: IP Address "255.255.255.255" specified is invalid
Incorrect input! Use 'config ap syslog host global <syslog_host-ipaddr>'.

This is our existing config :

(wc-re-1) >show ap config global

AP global system logging host.................... 145.18.x.x
AP global system logging level................... warnings
AP Telnet Settings............................... Globally Configured (Disabled)
AP SSH Settings.................................. Globally Configured (Enabled)

I Only want to change "AP global system logging host IP-ADDRESS."

I know this is an old post, but I had the same question on removing the configured syslog server IP for lightweight APs joined to a Mobility Express controller. I believe the command would be the same on a WLC. I included the show commands to illustrate this command works.

(Cisco Controller) >show ap config global
AP global system logging host.................... 10.0.0.10

(Cisco Controller) >config ap syslog host global 0.0.0.0

(Cisco Controller) >show ap config global

AP global system logging host.................... ::
