Enable Logs
Incoming Traffic
Select the desired option:
•
All IP traffic
- this will log all incoming TCP/IP connections, of
any type. This will generate the largest logs, and fill the internal
log buffer more quickly.
•
All TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic
- These 3 protocols are used by most
internet traffic. TCP is used by HTTP, FTP, Telnet, E-mail and
other common Internet protocols and applications. UDP is used by
Video streams and other communications where speed is more im-
portant than guaranteed delivery. ICMP is used by the "ping" and
"trace route" applications, and other network diagnostics.
Outgoing Traffic
Select the desired option:
•
All IP traffic
- - this will log all outgoing TCP/IP connections, of
any type. This will generate the largest logs, and fill the internal
log buffer more quickly.
•
All TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic
- These 3 protocols are used by most
internet traffic. TCP is used by HTTP, FTP, Telnet, E-mail and
other common Internet protocols and applications. UDP is used by
Video streams and other communications where speed is more im-
portant than guaranteed delivery. ICMP is used by the "ping" and
"trace route" applications, and other network diagnostics.
Because most connections are logged, the logs will still be large.
•
Selected Traffic only
- This selection will reduce the size of the
log considerably. Only HTTP connections are logged. Select the
traffic you wish to include:
•
Attempted access to blocked sites
- This will only log Web
connections which are blocked by the URL filter.
•
Websites and news groups
- This logs successful (allowed)
connections to Web Sites and newsgroup servers.
System Log
Select the desired option:
•
Router operations (start up, get time etc)
- This option will log
normal Router operations.
•
Connections to the Web - based interface of this Router
- This
option will log each connection to the Router itself, whenever the
Web-based management interface is used.
•
Other connections and traffic to this Router
- This option will
log other traffic sent to the Router itself, such as "pings" or RIP
(Router Information Protocol) packets.
•
Known DoS attacks and Port Scans
- This will log details of
DoS (Denial of Service) attacks which have been blocked by the
built-in Firewall. This Firewall uses "Stateful Inspection" technol-
ogy to block packets which are individually valid, but collectively
form an attack. Port scans, where a series of ports are checked to
see if they are open (available) are also logged.
VPN
If enabled, the VPN log will record incoming and outgoing VPN
connections.
