HP VCX Software Inbound Traffic, Log class for non-SIP packets, Log class for spoofed packets

Chapter 9. Logging

When an IP packet is received by the Telecommuting Module, a log message is generated, containing sender and receiver IP addresses and other information such as the protocol used and if the packet was allowed, rejected or discarded. The Telecommuting Module then uses the log settings for Configuration Transport and Log class for non-SIP packets to know how to process the log message.

The Telecommuting Module also produces log messages for SIP-related and VPN-related events as well as administrator events (when the administrator logs on or when a setting is changed). Here, you configure what will happen to these log messages.

Inbound Traffic

Log class for non-SIP packets

Here, you select a log class for packets which are neither SIP packets, SIP session media streams, or Telecommuting Module administration traffic and are therefore processed by the IP policy (discard or reject) that you selected on the Basic Configuration page.

Log class for spoofed packets

Here, you select a log class for packets with obviously spoofed addresses. A spoofed IP address can be a non-existing IP address on a network connection or packets where the sender or receiver address is an IP address in the range 127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255.

Log class for broadcast packets

Here, you select a log class for broadcast packets. Broadcast is a method of sending packets when you don’t know the actual recipient. The packets are sent to all computers on the network. See appendix D, Definitions of Terms for more information about broadcast.
