local_port Property
The port in the local host where Syslog binds.
Syntax
def get_local_port() -> int: ... def set_local_port(value: int) -> None: ...
local_port = property(get_local_port, set_local_port)
Default Value
514
Remarks
The local_port property must be set before Syslog is activated (active is set to True). It instructs the class to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.
Setting it to 0 (default) enables the TCP/IP stack to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by the local_port property after the connection is established.
local_port cannot be changed once the class is active. Any attempt to set the local_port property when the class is active will generate an error.
The local_port property is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side.
