îš„ Settings: allows you to select the types of activities for which you want to have a log
message generated, as shown below:
Figure 3-205: Log Settings Page
• Accepted Events group:
♦ Accepted Incoming Connections: generates a log message for each
successful attempt to establish an inbound connection to the home network.
♦ Accepted Outgoing Connections: generates a log message for each
successful attempt to establish an outgoing connection to the public network.
• Blocked Events group:
♦ All Blocked Connection Attempts: generates a log message for each
blocked attempt to establish an inbound connection to the home network or
vice versa. You can enable logging of blocked packets of specific types by
disabling this option, and enabling some of the more specific options listed
below it.
♦ Generate a log message for specific events that are blocked such as
SynFlood. A log message is generated if either the corresponding check box
is checked, or the 'All Blocked Connection Attempts' check box is selected.
• Other Events group:
♦ Remote Administration Attempts: generates a log message for each
remote administration connection attempt, whether successful or not.
♦ Connection States: provide additional information about every change in a
connection opened by the firewall. Use this option to track connection
handling by the firewall and Application Level Gateways (ALGs).
• Log Buffer group:
♦ Prevent Log Overrun: stops logging firewall activities when the memory
allocated for the log fills up.
