Accepted Packets are those that were successfully transferred through the
corresponding network segment (i.e. LAN to Option). This option is particularly
useful when the Default Outbound Policy is "Block Always" so the IT admin can
monitor traffic that is passed through the firewall.
Example: If Accept Packets from LAN to Option is enabled and there is a
firewall rule to allow SSH traffic from LAN, t hen whenever a LAN machine
tries to make an SSH connection, those packets will be accepted and a
message will be logged. (Assuming the log option is set to Allow for the SSH
firewall rule.)
Dropped Packets are packets that were intentionally blocked from being transferred
through the corresponding network segment. This option is useful when the Default
Outbound Policy is "Allow Always".
Example: If Drop Packets from LAN to Option is enabled and there is a
firewall rule to block SSH traffic from LAN, then whenever a LAN machine
tries to make an SSH connection, those packets will be dropped and a message
will be logged. (Make sure the log option is set to allow for this firewall rule.)
Enabling accepted packet logging through the firewall may generate a
significant volume of log messages depending on the typical network traffic.
This is recommended for debugging purposes only.
In addition to network segment logging, unicast and multicas t traffic can be logged.
Unicast packets have a single destination on the network, whereas broadcast (or
multicast) packets are sent to all possible destinations simultaneously. One other
useful log control is to log packets that are dropped due to configu red bandwidth
profiles over a particular interface. This data will indicate to the admin whether the
bandwidth profile has to be modified to account for the desired internet traffic of LAN
users.
