How to Send Syslog Messages to a Different IPV4 or IPV6 Socket Port

If you need to send syslog messages to a remote server that is not listening on the standard ports, you can specify the port on the input string for syslog server in the CLI or GUI.

Example from the CLI:

cd /settings/auditing/destinations/syslog
set ipv4_remote_server=yes ipv4_address=192.168.10.50:3491
set ipv6_remote_server=yes ipv6_address=[1fff:0:a88:85a3::ac1f]:3491
