Detect Intrusions
The Polycom RealPresence Group system logs an entry to the security log when it detects a possible
network intrusion. This logging is controlled by the setting Admin Settings > Security > Global Security
> Access > Enable Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). The security log prefix identifies the
type of packet detected, as shown in the following table.
Following the message prefix, the security log entry includes the timestamp and the IP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, or
ICMPv6 headers. For example, the following security log entry shows an “unknown_udp” intrusion:
2009-05-08 21:32:52 WARNING kernel: SECURITY: NIDS/unknown_udp IN=eth0
