IPv6 Logging

This page allows enabling logging rules for IPv6 traffic logging.
Click Administration > Logging > IPv6 Logging.
The IPV6 Logging window opens.
Check the box for each logging option that you want to enable, or uncheck the box
to disable the specified logging option.
• Accepted Packets: This logs packets that were successfully transferred
through the segment. This option is useful when the Default Outbound Policy
is "Block Always" (see the Firewall Rules page under the Firewall menu).
For example, let's say that you want a record of every successful SSH
connection from the LAN to the WAN. You would check the LAN to WAN box
under Accepted Packets. Whenever a LAN machine makes an SSH
connection to the WAN, a message is logged. (This example assumes that
your default outbound policy is "Block Always" and you have enabled a
firewall rule to allow SSH traffic from the LAN to the WAN. The firewall rule
also must allow logging. For more information, see
Rules to Control Inbound and Outbound Traffic, page
• Dropped Packets: Logs packets that were blocked from being transferred
through the segment. This option is useful when the Default Outbound Policy
is "Allow Always" (see the Firewall Rules page under the Firewall menu).
For example, let's say that you want a record of every blocked SSH
connection from the LAN to the WAN. You would check the LAN to WAN box
under Dropped Packets. Whenever a machine on the LAN attempts to make
an SSH connection to the WAN, a message is logged. This example assumes
that your default outbound policy is "Allow Always" and you have enabled a
firewall rule to block SSH traffic from the LAN to the WAN. The firewall rule
also must allow logging. For more information, see
Rules to Control Inbound and Outbound Traffic, page
