Here you can optionally specify another address (name or IP) used by your device to identify itself to the SYSLOG server as the sender. By default, your device sends its IP address from the corresponding ARF context, without you having to enter it here. By entering an optional loopback address you change the source address and route that your device uses to contact the remote site. This can be useful, for example, if your device is available over different paths and the remote site should use a specific path for its reply message.
Note: If the source address set here is a loopback address, this will be used unmasked even on masked remote clients.
