10/100 16-Port VPN Router
Log Tab - System Log
On this screen you will be able to configure the Router’s log settings, so you can specify how you want its activity
logs handled.
Syslog
Syslog is a standard protocol used to capture information about network activity. The Router supports this
protocol and can send its activity logs to an external server.
Enable Syslog. If you check the box, the Router’s Syslog feature will be enabled.
Syslog Server. In addition to the standard event log, the Router can send a detailed log to an external Syslog
server. The Router’s Syslog captures all log activities and includes this information about all data transmissions:
every connection source and destination IP address, IP service, and number of bytes transferred. Enter the Syslog
server name or IP address in the Syslog Server field. Click the Save Settings button to save your changes, and
then restart the Router for the changes to take effect.
E-mail
You may want logs or alert messages to be e-mailed to you. If so, then configure the E-mail settings.
Enable E-Mail Alert. If you check the box, The Router’s E-Mail Alert feature will be enabled.
Mail Server. If you want any log or alert information e-mailed to you, then enter the name or numerical IP address
of your SMTP server. Your ISP can provide you with this information.
Send E-mail to. This is the e-mail address to which your log files will be sent. If you do not want copies of the log
information e-mailed to you, then leave this field blank.
Log Queue Length. You can designate the length of the log that will be e-mailed to you. The default is 50 entries,
so unless you change this setting, the Router will e-mail the log to you when there are more than 50 log entries.
Log Time Threshold. You can designate how often the log will be e-mailed to you. The default is 10 minutes, so
unless you change this setting, the Router will e-mail the log to you every 10 minutes.
The Router will e-mail the log every time the Log Queue Length or Log Time Threshold is reached.
E-mail Log Now. Click the E-mail Log Now button to immediately send the log to the address in the Send E-mail
to field.
