Logging
You can configure a UNIX-compatible 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 12-6 .The Syslog client (for the PC only) is
supplied as a .ZIP file on the Netopia CD.
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 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.
Installing the Syslog client
The Goodies folder on the Netopia CD contains a Syslog client daemon program that can be configured to
repor t the WAN events you specified in the Logging Configuration screen.
To install the Syslog client daemon, exit from the graphical Netopia CD program and locate the CD director y
structure through your Windows desktop, or through Windows Explorer. Go to the Goodies director y on the CD
and locate the Sds15000.exe program. This is the Syslog daemon installer. Run the Sds15000.exe program
and follow the on screen instructions for enabling the Windows Syslog daemon.
