System Log

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
Select this option to enable the Router's
Syslog feature.
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. Click Save Settings to save
your changes, and then restart the Router for the changes
to take effect.
