Cisco Syslog Server Question?
Posted on 2012-12-24
Hello Experts,
Can someone please tell me why the syslog server in my lab will only recieve alerts from Orangutan and Drill?
I can't get the syslog server to receive alerts or syslog messages from Gibbon or Chimpanzee.
Please configs and attached topology
Cheers
Carlton

I assume the syslog server has a simple default route pointing at Gibbon, correct?
If this is a Windows server, you can post an 'ipconfig/all' and 'route print' to verify.
Whenever you setup logging, traps, netflow, SNMP, or anything that does automatic reporting you should set the source interface manually. This applies to labs as well as production networks.
I would set the source interface so that, at the least, you know what the source IP will be from all routers. Also, check the routing tables to make sure all IP's are reachable.
The only other difference I see in your configs is that Drill and Orangutan don't have Loopback addresses unlike the other two.

That all looks good. I just wanted to make sure this wasn't a goofy static route on a server (which I actually have seen in production networks).
Next I would look in to setting the snmp trap-source interface, and also making sure you can ping the server from the routers in question while using the trap-source interface as a ping source.
Also, is there full connectivity in your network from the server? Can you ping each interface on all routers?

I ping all interfaces from the server. I can also ping the server from all routers.
Any more suggestions?
