Verification of configuration
...
From the Collector-Syslog Server (CCE): This can involve logging into the CCE and checking the configuration settings, testing the connectivity and functionality of the various components, and comparing the actual results against the expected or desired outcomes.
From the UI: This can involve logging into the user interface and checking the configuration settings, monitoring the logs and flows, and comparing the actual results against the expected or desired outcomes.
...
This will allow you to ensure that the system is properly identifying the source device IP and that it matches the expected IP address..
