Description

Configure this Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol to forward syslog messages securely.

This configuration uses certificates to authenticate peers. Before configuring this statement, make sure that your device has CA certificate and the PKI. To know more about CA certificate and PKI, refer Self-Signed Digital Certificates.

Encapsulating syslog over TLS allows you to:

  • Validate the remote destination (syslog server) before transmitting any sensitive syslog information. (Authentication)

  • Encrypt the syslog during the transport. (Encryption)

  • Verify that the data has not been modified or tampered with (Integrity).

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.
