Log Tab - System Log

The System Log screen allows to configure the Router’s log, keeping track of the Router’s performance.

Syslog

Enable Syslog: Checking this box enables the Logging feature, called Syslog.

Syslog Server: In addition to the standard event log, the Router can send a detailed log to an external Syslog server. Syslog is an industry-standard protocol used to capture information about network activity. The Router’s Syslog captures all log activity and includes every connection source and destination IP address, IP service, and number of bytes transferred. Enter the Syslog server name or IP address in the Syslog Server field. Click the Save Settings button and then restart the Router for the change to take effect.

E-mail

Enable E-Mail Alert: Checking this box enables E-Mail Alert, which are emailed log entries and alerts.

Mail Server: If you wish to have any log or alert information E-mailed to you, then you must enter the name or numerical IP address of your SMTP server. Your Internet Service Provider can provide you with this information.

Send E-mail To: This is the E-mail address where the log files will be sent.

Log Queue Length (entries): This instructs the Router how often to email log entries by quantity of entries. When the number of queues is reached (i.e. the queue length), the log is sent. The default length is 50 entries.

Log Time Threshold (minutes): This instructs the Router how frequently to email log entries by amount of time. When the time threshold is reached, the log is sent. The default time is 10 minutes.

E-mail Log Now: Clicking the E-mail Log Now button immediately sends the log to the address in the Send E-mail to field.

Designed to meet the demands of a dynamic business environment, the RV082 offers a host of features that enhance both performance and reliability.

One of the primary attributes of the RV082 is its dual WAN capability.

This is particularly beneficial for businesses with telecommuting employees or those that operate across multiple locations.

Security is a paramount concern for any business, and the RV082 addresses this with various built-in security features. It utilizes advanced firewall capabilities, including Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) and Denial of Service (DoS) protection, safeguarding internal networks from external threats. The router also supports strong encryption protocols such as IPSec and PPTP, ensuring that sensitive data transmitted over the VPN remains secure.

Performance-wise, the RV082 includes eight switched LAN ports, allowing numerous devices to connect directly to the network without the need for additional hardware. This feature simplifies network management and helps keep connectivity organized. Furthermore, the router supports Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization, which allows businesses to allocate bandwidth effectively among different applications and users, promoting seamless performance even during high traffic periods.

The user-friendly web-based interface facilitates easy configuration and management, making it accessible for users with varying levels of technical expertise. Additionally, the RV082’s compact design ensures that it can fit into nearly any office environment without taking up too much space.

In summary, the Linksys RV082 is an excellent choice for businesses looking for a dependable and secure networking solution.
