Configure Logging, Alerts, and Event Notifications

You can configure the wireless VPN firewall to log routing events such as dropped and
accepted packets, to log system events such as a change of time by an NTP server, secure
login attempts, and reboots, and to log other events. You can also schedule logs to be sent to
the administrator and enable logs to be sent to a syslog server on the network.
