Activating Notification of Events and Alerts
The firewall logs can be configured to log and then e-mail denial of access, general attack
information, and other information to a specified e-mail address. For example, your VPN firewall
will log security-related events such as: accepted and dropped packets on different segments of
your LAN; 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 5-25), a log will be generated when someone on your
network tries to access a blocked site.
