4.7.2Remote Log

The remote log feature is used in conjunction with the PC tool (software provided with your modem). For PPPoE and PPPoA connections, you can select debug if you want to log the connection information. This is helpful when trying to debug connection problems.

The remote log feature forwards all logged information to the remote PC. The type of information forwarded to the remote PC depends upon the log level. Each log message is assigned a severity level, which indicates how seriously the triggering event affects router functions. When you configure logging, you must specify a severity level for each facility. Messages that belong to the facility and are rated at that level or higher are logged to the destination

Table 4-1 defines the different severity levels.
