Local Logging Config
You can configure the router to log events such as unicast or broadcast traffic
passing through the router, or packets that are dropped due to source MAC
filtering.
NOTE Enabling logging options can generate a significant volume of log messages and is
recommended for debugging purposes only.
STEP 1 Click Administration > Logging > Logging Config.
The Local Logging Config window opens.
STEP 2 Check the box for each logging option that you want to enable, or uncheck the box
to disable the specified logging option.
• Routing Logs: For each type of traffic, choose the types of packets to be
logged (Accepted Packets and Dropped Packets) as described in the
Routing Logs table.
• System Logs: Choose the types of system events to be logged.
- All Unicast Traffic: All unicast packets directed to the router are logged.
- All Broadcast/Multicast Traffic: All broadcast or multicast packets
directed to the router are logged.
• Other Event Logs: Choose the other types of events to be logged.
- Source MAC Filter: If checked, logs packets matched due to source
MAC filtering. Uncheck to disable source MAC filtering logs.
