Nad, Depending on the size of the network and the logging level used, a central syslog can be a very busy server. I wouldn't add Cisco Works (which is another resource hog) on the same machine, as it could lead on syslog message loss under heavy traffic conditions. You should check the documentation of your syslog server on how to dimension the machine running it, specially if it will be logging to a SQL database Regards, Alejandro ----- Original Message ----- From: "shadow floating" <nadengine () googlemail com> To: "Firewall Wizards Security Mailing List" <firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com> Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2008 6:51 PM Subject: Re: [fw-wiz] syslog and network management
thanks alot patrick, i was not actually asking about the centralized log server issue as i believe in it...but is it appropriate to add firewall and router management applications to be installed onto that server , like ciscoworks and the like?..or it's better to add another separate management machine in addition to the syslog machine from the security point of view thanks alot Nad
