Changing the Include in Log Settings
You can choose to log additional information. Those optional selections are as follows:
•
Known DoS attacks and Port Scans
•
Attempted access to blocked sites
•
All Web sites and news groups visited
•
All Incoming TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic
•
All Outgoing TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic
•
Other IP traffic — if selected, all other traffic (IP packets which are not TCP, UDP, or ICMP)
is logged
•
Router operation (start up, get time, etc.) — if selected, Router operations, such as starting up
and getting the time from the Internet Time Server, are logged.
•
Connection to the Web-based interface of this Router
•
Other connections and traffic to this Router — if selected, this will log traffic sent to this
Router (rather than through this Router to the Internet).
•
Allow duplicate log entries — if selected, events or packets that fall within more than one (1)
category above will have a log entry for each category in which they belong. This will
generate a large number of log entries.
If not selected, then events or packets will only be logged once. Usually, you should not allow
duplicate log entries.
Enabling the Syslog Feature
You can choose to write the logs to a computer running a SYSLOG program. To use this feature,
check the box under Syslog and enter the IP address of the server where the log file will be written.
Then click Apply to activate the Syslog feature.
For a detailed description of the log files, see
Appendix B, “Firewall Log Formats”

You can specify that logs are automatically sent to the specified e-mail address with these options:
•
Send alert immediately
Select this check box if you want immediate notification of a significant security event, such
as a known attack, abnormal TCP flag, or attempted access to a blocked site.
•
Send logs according to this schedule
Specify how often to send the logs: None, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or When Full.
–
Day for sending log
Specify which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent weekly or
daily.
–
Time for sending log
Specify the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or weekly.
If the Weekly, Daily or Hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified
period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is sent,
the log is cleared from the firewall’s memory. If the firewall cannot e-mail the log file, the log
buffer may fill up. In this case, the firewall overwrites the log and discards its contents.
