Configuring Email and Syslog Alerts
Your Gateway inspects packets at the application layer, and stores TCP and UDP session
information, including timeouts and number of active sessions. This information Is helpful
when detecting and preventing Denial of Service (DoS) and other network attacks.
If you enabled the Gateway’s firewall or content-filtering feature, you can use the
Email/Syslog Alert menu to configure the Gateway to send email notifications or add entries
to the syslog when:
y
Traffic is blocked
y
Attempts are made to intrude onto the network
y
Local computers try to access block URLs
You can configure the Gateway to generate email notifications or syslog entries immediately
or at a preconfigured time.
To access the Email/Syslog Alert menu, click
Firewall
in the menu bar and then click the
Email/Syslog Alert
submenu in the menu bar. Figure 30 shows an example of the menu.

y
