Logs

This chapter provides information about the ZyWALL’s logs.

Note: When the system log reaches the maximum number of log messages, new log messages automatically overwrite existing log messages, starting with the oldest existing log message first.

See the User’s Guide for the maximum number of system log messages in the ZyWALL.

Virtual interface on top of VLAN interface: vlanx:y, x = 0 - 4094, y = 1 - 12

 

Bridge interface: brx, x = 0 - N, where N depends on the number of bridge interfaces your

 

ZyWALL model supports.

 

Virtual interface on top of bridge interface: brx:y, x = the number of the bridge interface, y

 

= 1 - 4

 

PPPoE/PPTP interface: pppx, x = 0 - N, where N depends on the number of PPPoE/PPTP
