Specifying an Alternative Source Address for System Log Messages

To specify the source address to use when directing system log messages to a remote machine, include the source-address statement at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level:

[edit system syslog]

source-address source-address;

source-address is a valid IP address configured on one of the routing platform interfaces. The address is used only for messages directed to the remote machines specified in all host hostname statements at the [edit system syslog] hierarchy level, not for messages directed to the other Routing Engine.
