Question:
Can you set the originating (not destination) port for remote logging?
Situation:
I am setting up remote logging with a handful of mikrotik routerboards and I have run into an interesting issue: The outgoing port for which they send syslog messages is all different.
All are using the same version of ROS 2.9.42
An older RB230 sends from port 1026
A 532 sends from port 1024
Another 532 sends from 1026
Another 532 sends from 1026
A 112 sends from 2048
Most of the configurations are roughly the same, and definitely nothing has been set that would change the outgoing port for these mikrotiks. All of the remote logging is being sent to a server on port 514, the only issue is the port that the packets are originating from.
So basically, why are they being sent from different ports on different mikrotiks, and is there a way I can make them all the same?
