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 often use port 514 for receiving log messages from various network devices and services. It is important for IT professionals to know common port numbers to configure firewalls, assign permissions, and troubleshoot network communications. While port 389 is typically used by LDAP services and port 162 is for SNMP trap messages, and port 25 is typically used by SMTP services for sending emails, they are not associated with receiving log messages like syslog.
