5. Define the Syslog Server. This is the DNS name or the IP address of the Syslog server. If you are using the default port, type the server name only. If you are using a non-default port, type the server and the port in the Syslog server field in the following format: server:port.

   1. Facility: The default value is 16: Local use 0, but you can change it as you need.
   2. Severity: The value is fixed for each log and you cannot change it. Severity values are explained in the following table:
      
      

      Log	Severity
      Alert	1: Alert
      Config	6: Informational
      Connection	6: Informational
