Logging
You can configure a UNIX-compatible (BSD syslog protocol - RFC 3164) syslog client to report a number of
subsets of the events entered in the Router’s WAN Event History. See “WAN Event History” 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 history.
• 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 report any appropriate and
previously unreported events.
• You can specify the syslog server’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 for more information.
