• The access point gets disconnected from the switch, and you configured the syslog server IP address
• The access point gets disconnected from the switch and joins another switch. In this case, the new switch
Whenever a new syslog server IP address overrides the existing syslog server IP address, the old address is
erased from persistent storage, and the new address is stored in its place. The access point also starts sending
all syslog messages to the new IP address, if the access point can reach the syslog server IP address.

points is 255.255.255.255. Make sure that the access points
can reach the subnet on which the syslog server resides
before configuring the syslog server on the switch. If the
access points cannot reach this subnet, the access points are
