ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual
VPN Firewall and Network Management 6-23
v1.1, August 2010
Monitoring System Performance
You can be alerted to important events such as WAN traffic limits reached, login failures, and
attacks. You can also view status information about the VPN firewall, broadband port, LAN ports,
and VPN tunnels.
This section includes the following subsections:
“Activating Notification of Events and Alerts” on page 6-23
“Viewing the Logs” on page 6-26
“Enabling the Traffic Meter” on page 6-27
“Viewing the VPN Firewall Configuration and System Status” on page 6-30
“Monitoring VPN Firewall Statistics” on page 6-31
“Monitoring Broadband Port Status” on page 6-32
“Monitoring Attached Devices” on page 6-33
“Monitoring VPN Tunnel Connection Status” on page 6-34
“Viewing the VPN Logs” on page 6-35
“Viewing the DHCP Log” on page 6-36
“Viewing Port Triggering Status” on page 6-36
Activating Notification of Events and Alerts
The Firewall Logs can be configured to log and then email denial of access, general attack
information, and other information to a specified email address. For example, the VPN firewall
will log security-related events such as: accepted and dropped packets on different segments of
your LAN or DMZ; denied incoming and outgoing service requests; hacker probes and Login
attempts; and other general information based on the settings that you enter on the Firewall Logs &
E-mail screen. In addition, if you have set up content filtering on the Block Sites screen (see
“Blocking Internet Sites (Content Filtering)” on page 4-30), a log will be generated when someone
on your network tries to access a blocked site.
You must have email notification enabled to receive the logs in an email message. If you do not
have email notification enabled, you can view the logs on the Logs screen (see Figure 6-11 on
page 6-26). Selecting all events will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to select only
those events which are required.
To configure logging and notifications:
1. Select Monitoring from the main menu and then Firewall Logs & E-mail from the submenu.
The Firewall Logs & E-mail screen displays (see Figure 6-10 on page 6-24).
