The IP address of the machine under attack and the source of the attack is displayed. In most attacks,
the source address shown is fake and does not reflect the real source of the attack.
Tip!
Some network conditions can produce network traffic that appears to be an attack, even if no one is
deliberately attacking the LAN. Verify the log messages with SonicWALL Tech Support before
contacting your ISP to determine the source of the attack.
