Description

Protocol

UDP

 The default protocol for syslog. The collector can also accept logs in TCP and Syslog TLS is also supported.

Note: While TCP offers guaranteed delivery of log packets, it places a larger overhead on the LCP. To balance TCP for reliability over UDP for speed/simplicity, contact the Accenture Security MDR onboarding team.

Host Names/IP Addresses 

Siteminder IP

 Logging device IP address mentioned in the Pre-Installation Questionnaire (PIQ).

Note: If the device sends logs using multiple interfaces, contact the Accenture Security MSS onboarding team.

Signatures

Broadcom-Siteminder

 MDR recommended signatures processed by the Broadcom Symantec Siteminder event collector.

Port Number

514

 The default port number for syslog. For TCP, the default port is 601. For syslog TLS, port is 6514

Note: The LCP can be configured to listen on a non-standard port, please advise the Accenture MDR onboarding team if this is a requirement.
