I am trying to send some syslogs from server A to another server B on port 514. When running a tcpdump on server A, I can see that the logs are being sent on port 514 with destination IP address of server B.
On server B, I couldn't see any trace of logs coming in while doing tcpdump. After further investigation I noticed that server B is not listening on port 514 as it should be.
My question is whether tcpdump must capture those packets regardless if server B is listening on port 514 or not.
