Configure logging
The logging facility stores log messages for events with a specified severity in a
log file. You can change the size of the log file, and the type of messages
recorded. You can configure the router to output log messages in several ways,
for example to a remote router with a specified IP address, or as an email to a
particular email address. The router can also receive log messages from
another router. Set the Logging Facility to log and forward key messages to
your network (see
). Regularly inspect the log file,
especially when difficulties arise.
Configure firewall
Use the firewall to protect your network from several kinds of unwanted traffic
or deliberate attacks (see
).
The firewall facility is enabled with a special feature license. To obtain one,
contact an Allied Telesis authorised distributor or reseller.
Flash compaction
If flash memory fills to a certain level, it automatically compacts itself to
recover space available from deleted files. You can also activate flash
compaction manually if desired.
Caution
While flash is compacting, do not restart the router or use commands
that affect the flash file subsystem. Do not restart the router, or create, edit, load,
rename, or delete files until a message confirms that flash file compaction is
complete. Interrupting flash compaction can damage files.
Watch for software
updates
Updates are released periodically to improve the function of your router
software and to add new features. Watch for these at
