Logs

The Logs record various types of activity on the Broadband ADSL Router. This data is useful for troubleshooting, but enabling all logs will generate a large amount of data and adversely affect performance.

Since only a limited amount of log data can be stored in the Broadband ADSL Router, log data can also be E-mailed to your PC. Use the E-mailscreen to configure this feature.

	tional if the E-mailscreen has been configured.

Broadband ADSL Router User Guide

Logs

Include (Checkboxes) Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Checking all options will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really re- quired.

•Attempted access to blocked sites - If checked, attempted Internet accesses which were blocked are logged.

•Connections to the Web-based interface of this Router - If checked, this will log connections TO this Router, rather than through this Router to the Internet.

•Router operation - If checked, other Router operations (not covered by the selections above) will be logged.

•Known DoS attacks and Port Scans - If checked, Denial of Service attacks, as well as port scans, will be logged.

Syslog

Disable	Data is not sent to a Syslog Server.
Broadcast on LAN	The Syslog data is broadcast, rather than sent to a specific Syslog
	server. Use this if your Syslog Server does not have a fixed IP
	address.
Send to this Syslog	If your Syslog server has a fixed IP address, select this option,
Server	and enter the IP address of your Syslog server.
