Security Monitor
The Security Monitor detects security related events including common types of malicious
attacks and writes them to a dedicated security log file. You view this log file from either:
• Netopia Web interface
• Text-based command line interface using telnet
The log provides information useful in identifying a specific type of attack and tracing its
origin. The log maintains 100 entries, and requires a manual reset once full. This pre-
serves for troubleshooting purposes the acquired information about specific attacks, their
frequency and tracing information.
