•
Port : The syslog process uses logical port 514 by default. It is recommended that you keep
this default. If you specify a different port number, ensure that the port number is not being
used by another protocol on your network and that your syslog server is also configured to
use that port.
•
Log Level : When Remote Syslog is enabled, messages of the selected Log Level or higher
are sent to the configured syslog server.
Events
The Events section of the System log page shows real-time system events on the router, such as
wireless clients associating with the router and being authenticated. The log shows the date the
event occurred, its severity level, the software program or process that caused the event
message, and the message text.

Proxy ARP settings
Proxy ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a mechanism that enables a computer in a network
connected to a router to appear to be logically part of another network connected to the same
router. This means that a computer on the router’s LAN network can appear to be logically on
the WAN network, accessible using a public IP address. Note that although the computer
appears as part of the public network, it is actually protected behind the router’s firewall on the
LAN network. That is, traffic between the public network and the host computer on the LAN is
still subject to the rules and policies configured on the router. A maximum of eight rules can be
defined.
