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.
