Your corporation mandates the collection and centralization of logs for auditing and troubleshooting. The network administrators are discussing the implementation of syslog for this purpose. Which port is typically used by syslog servers to receive log messages from network devices?
Syslog servers normally listen on UDP port 514 to accept log messages from network devices and operating systems. IT professionals must know common port numbers to configure firewalls, set permissions, and troubleshoot connectivity. Port 389 is reserved for LDAP directory services, port 162 is used for SNMP trap notifications, and port 25 is the default SMTP port for email transfer-none of these handle syslog traffic.
