Administrator's Guide

Chapter 9. Logging
When an IP packet is received by the Telecommuting Module, a log message is generated,
containing sender and receiver IP addresses and other information such as the protocol used
and if the packet was allowed, rejected or discarded. The Telecommuting Module then uses
the log settings for Configuration Transport and Log class for non-SIP packets to know how
to process the log message.
The Telecommuting Module also produces log messages for SIP-related and VPN-related
events as well as administrator events (when the administrator logs on or when a setting is
changed). Here, you configure what will happen to these log messages.
Inbound Traffic
Log class for non-SIP packets
Here, you select a log class for packets which are neither SIP packets, SIP session media
streams, or Telecommuting Module administration traffic and are therefore processed by the
IP policy (discard or reject) that you selected on the Basic Configuration page.
Log class for spoofed packets
Here, you select a log class for packets with obviously spoofed addresses. A spoofed IP
address can be a non-existing IP address on a network connection or packets where the
sender or receiver address is an IP address in the range 127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255.
Log class for broadcast packets
Here, you select a log class for broadcast packets. Broadcast is a method of sending packets
when you don’t know the actual recipient. The packets are sent to all computers on the
network. See appendix D, Definitions of Terms for more information about broadcast.
