Logging

You can configure a UNIX-compatible (BSD syslog protocol - RFC 3164) 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 9-4

.

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 to 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.

The following three fields allow you to log exceptions based on your filter policies:

Filter Violations,

Accepted Packets, and

Access Attempts

See

“About Filters and Filter Sets” on page 10-21
