The incoming and outgoing volume of traffic for each protocol and the total volume of traffic are
displayed. Traffic counters are updated in MBs; the counter starts only when traffic passed is at
least 1 MB. In addition, the popup screen displays the traffic meter's start and end dates.

Activating Notification of Events, Alerts, and Syslogs

You can configure the VPN firewall to log and then email denial of access, general attacks, and
other information to a specified email address. For example, the VPN firewall can log security-
related events such as accepted and dropped packets on different segments of your LAN, denied
incoming and outgoing service requests, hacker probes and login attempts, and other general
information based on the settings that you specify on the Firewall Logs & E-mail screen. Selecting
all events will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to select only those events that are
required.
For you to receive the logs in an email message, the VPN firewall's email notification server must
be configured and email notification must be enabled. You must configure the necessary
information for sending email, such as the administrator's email address, the email server, user
name, and password. If the email notification server is not configured or email notification is
disabled, you can still query the logs and generate log reports that you then can view on the Web
Management Interface screen.
To configure and activate logs:
1. Select Monitoring > Firewall Logs & E-mail from the menu. The Firewall Logs & E-mail
screen displays (see Figure 9-3 on page 9-6).
