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
