2. In the Log Options section, enter the name of the log in the Log Identifier field, which is a
mandatory field used to identify which device sent the log messages. The identifier is
appended to log messages.
3. In the Routing Logs section, select the network segments for which you would like logs to be
sent (for example, LAN to WAN under Dropped Packets).
4. In the System Logs section and the Other Event Logs section, select the type of events to be
logged.
5. In the Enable E-Mail Logs section, select the Ye s radio box to enable e-mail logs. Then enter:
a. E-mail Server address. Enter either the IP address or Internet name of your ISP’s
outgoing E-mail SMTP server. If you leave this box blank, no logs will be sent to you.
b. Return E-mail Address. Enter an e-mail address to appear as the sender.
c. Send To E-mail Address. Enter the e-mail address where the logs and alerts should be
sent. You must use the full e-mail address (for example, [e-mail]).
6. No Authentication is selected by default. If your SMTP server requires user authentication,
select the required authentication type—either Login Plain or CRAM-MD5. Then enter the
user name and password to be used for authentication.
7. To respond to IDENT protocol messages, check the Respond to Identd from SMTP Server
radio box. The Ident Protocol is a weak scheme to verify the sender of e-mail (a common
daemon program for providing the ident service is identd).
8. In the Send E-mail logs by Schedule section , enter a Schedule for sending the logs. From the
Unit pull-down menu, choose: Never, Hourly, Daily, or Weekly. Then set the Day and Time
fields that correspond to your selection.
9. In the Enable SysLogs section, you can configure the VPN firewall to send system logs to an
external PC that is running a syslog logging program. Click Yes to enable SysLogs and send
messages to the syslog server, then:
a. Enter your SysLog Server IP address.
b. Select the appropriate syslog facility from the SysLog Facility pull-down menu. The
SysLog Facility levels of severity are described in Table 10-1 on page 10-4.
