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.
