3.6.2 Remote System Administration

You may configure your router to allow a user on the Internet to ad- minister it. The default setting 0.0.0.0 means that a user from any IP address may administer the router. You should carefully consider the possible security risks of leaving this setting at the default. It is safer to enter the IP address of a known computer on the Internet. For example, you may set up the router so that you are able to ad- minister it from your computer at work.

Check the Enable box to enable the System Log function and enter the log server IP address. (Note: The ability to receive system log messages is most common on Unix-type systems. Shareware ver- sions of system loggers are available for other operating systems at most of the popular websites, e.g., www.tucows.com. Please refer to Appendix H for more information on system logging on your server.)
