To configure reverse lookup (Logs > Events > reverse lookup):
Reverse
lookup is disabled by default. Enable this feature unless you have no DNS
server configured or have poor network performance because of heavy network traffic.
With reverse lookup enabled, when a network-related event occurs, both the IP
address and the domain name for the networked device associated with the event are
logged in the event log. If no domain name entry exists for the device, only its IP
address is logged with the event. Since domain names generally change less
frequently than IP addresses, enabling reverse lookup can improve the ability to
identify addresses of networked devices that are causing events.
To resize the event log (Logs > Events > size):
By default, the event log stores 400 events. You can change the number of events the
log stores. When you resize the event log, all existing log entries are deleted. To avoid
losing log data, use FTP or SCP to retrieve the log before you enter a new value in the
Event Log Size
field.
When the log is full, the older entries are deleted.
