LCP Configuration Parameters
Table 1-2: The HPE iLO event collector (Syslog -4002) properties to be configured by Accenture are given in the table.
Property | Default Value | Description |
Protocol | UDP | The default protocol for syslog. The collector can also accept logs in TCP. 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 Onboarding team. |
Host Names / IP Addresses | <DEVICE HOSTNAME or IP> | Provide Hostname or IP address of the device which forwards logs to the LCP |
Signatures | ||
Port Number | 514 | The default port for UDP. For TCP, the default port is 601. Note: The LCP can be configured to listen on a non-standard port, please advise the Accenture Security Onboarding team if this is a requirement. |
