SonicOS Log Entries
Each log entry contains the date and time of the event and a brief message describing the event. It is also possible to copy the log entries from the management interface and paste into a report. The SonicWALL security appliance manages log events in the following manner:
•Dropped TCP, UDP, or ICMP packets
When IP packets are blocked by the SonicWALL security appliance, dropped TCP, UDP and ICMP messages are displayed. The messages include the source and destination IP addresses of the packet. The TCP or UDP port number or the ICMP code follows the IP address. Log messages usually include the name of the service in quotation marks.
•Blocked Web Sites
When a computer attempts to connect to the blocked site or newsgroup, a log event is displayed. The computer’s IP address, Ethernet address, the name of the blocked Web site, and the Content Filter List Code is displayed. Code definitions for the 12 Content Filter List categories are displayed in the table below:
1. | Violence/Hate/Racism | 5. | Weapons | 9. Illegal Skills/Questionable Skills | |

•Blocked Java, etc.
When ActiveX, Java or Web cookies are blocked, messages with the source and destination IP addresses of the connection attempt is displayed.
•Ping of Death, IP Spoof, and SYN Flood Attacks
The IP address of the machine under attack and the source of the attack is displayed. In most attacks, the source address shown is fake and does not reflect the real source of the attack.
9Tip: Some network conditions can produce network traffic that appears to be an attack, even if no one is deliberately attacking the LAN. Verify the log messages with SonicWALL Tech Support before contacting your ISP to determine the source of the attack.
