Syslog
Enable Syslog: If check the box, Syslog will be enabled.
Syslog Server: In addition to the standard event log, the SMCBR24Q can send a detailed log to an
external Syslog server. Syslog is an industry-standard protocol used to capture information about network
activity. The SMCBR24Q Syslog captures all log activity and includes every connection source and
destination IP address, IP service, and number of bytes transferred. Enter the Syslog server name or IP
address in the Syslog Server field. Restart the SMCBR24Q for the change to take effect.
Mail Server: If you wish to have any log or alert information E-mailed to you, then you must enter the name
or numerical IP address of your SMTP server. Your Internet Service Provider can provide you with this
information.
Send E-mail To: This is the E-mail address to which your log files will be sent. You may leave this field
blank if you do not want to receive copies of your log information.
Send E-mail: The menu determines the frequency of log e-mail messages (None, Hour, Daily, When Full),
and at the time you set up
When system alert, send log immediately.
E-mail Log Now: Clicking E-mail Log Now immediately sends the log to the address in the Send E-mail to
Filed.
Log Status
When log overflows: In some cases, your log buffer may fill up. This will only happen if there is a problem
sending out the E-mail (for instance, if you have not properly filled in the "Mail Server" and "Send Log To"
fields, or if there is a problem with your mail server). The default behavior is to Overwrite Log and discard
its contents. However, you can select Stop Log to shut down and prevent traffic from traveling through the
SMCBR24Q if the log is full.
There are four buttons follow the setup section.
View System Log: Once you press this button, the new window will pop up System Log.
