Logging

You can configure a UNIX-compatible syslog client to repor t a number of subsets of the events entered in the
router’s WAN Event Histor y. See

“WAN Event Histor y” on page 12-113

.The Syslog client (for the PC only) is

supplied as a .ZIP file on the Netopia CustomerCare CD.

Select Logging from the System Configuration menu.

The Logging Configuration screen appears.

By default, all events are logged in the event histor y.

By toggling each event descriptor either Yes or No, you can determine which ones are logged and which are
ignored.

You can enable or disable the syslog client dynamically. When enabled, it will repor t any appropriate and
previously unrepor ted events.

You can specify the syslog ser ver’s address either in dotted decimal format or as a DNS name up to 63
characters.

You can specify the UNIX syslog Facility to use by selecting the Facility pop-up.
