Event Log
The VPN 3002 records events in an event log, which is stored in nonvolatile memory. Thus the event log
persists even if the system is powered off. For troubleshooting any system difficulty, or just to examine
details of system activity, consult the event log first.
The VPN 3002 holds 256 events. The log wraps when it is full; that is, newer events overwrite older
events when the log is full.
For the event log, you can configure which event classes and severity levels to log.
Note
The VPN 3002 automatically saves the log file if it crashes, and when it is rebooted. This log file is
named SAVELOG.TXT, and it overwrites any existing file with that name. The SAVELOG.TXT file
is useful for debugging.
