NP7 hardware logging supports multicast logging
You can now configure NP7 hardware logging to support multicast logging. Previous hyperscale firewall versions of FortiOS only supported multicast logging for CPU or host logging.
You can use multicast logging to simultaneously send session setup log messages for CPU or software sessions to multiple remote syslog or NetFlow servers. Multicast logging is not supported for NP7 sessions.
Enable multicast logging by creating a log server group that contains two or more remote log servers and then set log-tx-mode
to multicast
:
config log npu-server
set log-processor hardware
config server-group
edit "log_ipv4_server1"
set log-format {netflow | syslog}
set log-tx-mode multicast
end
Set log-tx-mode
to multicast
to simultaneously send session setup log messages to multiple remote syslog or NetFlow servers.
