server. The router will connect to this server to send email logs when
required.

SMTP server are to be sent (required for failure messages).
• Send To E-mail Address: Type the email address where the logs and alerts
are to be sent.

authentication before accepting connections, choose either Login Plain or
CRAM-MD5 authentication from the drop-down menu and enter the user
account name and password. To disable authentication, select None.
• Respond to Identd from SMTP Server: Check this box to configure the
router to respond to an IDENT request from the SMTP server.
In the Send E-mail logs by Schedule area, configure the following settings to
receive e-mail logs according to a schedule:
• Unit: Select the period of time that you need to send the log: Hourly, Daily, or
Weekly. To disable sending of logs, select Never.
This option is useful when you do not want to receive logs by email, but want
to keep email options configured so that you can use the Send Log function
from the Status > View Logs pages.
• Day: If logs are to be sent on a weekly basis, choose the day of the week.
• Time: Select the time of day when logs should be sent.
If you want the security appliance to send logs to a syslog server, enter the IP
address or the Internet name of the server in the SysLog Server field.
Click Apply to save your settings, or click Reset to revert to the saved settings.

A variety of events can be captured and logged for review. These logs can be sent
to a syslog server or emailed to a specified address. You can also specify which
system messages are logged based on the facility that generated the message
and its severity level.
