ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G Reference Manual E-Mail Notifications of Event Logs and Alerts The Firewall Logs can be configured to log and then e-mail denial of access, general attack information, and other information to a specified e-mail address. For example, your VPN firewall router will log security-related events such as: accepted and dropped packets on different segments of your LAN; denied incoming and outgoing service requests; hacker probes and login attempts; and other general information based on the settings you input on the Firewall Logs & E-mail menu. In addition, if you have set up Content Filtering on the Block Sites screen (see "Blocking Internet Sites (Content Filtering)" on page 4-21), a log will be generated when someone on your network tries to access a blocked site. To configure e-mail or syslog notification, or to view the logs, see "Activating Notification of Events and Alerts" on page 9-4. Administrator Tips Consider the following operational items: 1. As an option, you can enable remote management if you have to manage distant sites from a central location (see "Enabling Remote Management Access" on page 7-10). 2. Although rules (see "Using Rules to Block or Allow Specific Kinds of Traffic" on page 4-2) are the basic way of managing the traffic through your system, you can further refine your control with the following optional features of the VPN firewall: • Groups and hosts (see "Managing Groups and Hosts (LAN Groups)" on page 3-5) • Services (see "About Services-Based Rules" on page 4-3) • Schedules (see "Setting a Schedule to Block or Allow Specific Traffic" on page 4-29) • Block sites (see "Blocking Internet Sites (Content Filtering)" on page 4-21) • Source MAC filtering (see "Configuring Source MAC Filtering" on page 4-24) • Port triggering (see "Configuring Port Triggering" on page 4-27) Firewall Protection and Content Filtering 1.1 November, 2009 4-33

Firewall Protection and Content Filtering
4-33
1.1 November, 2009
E-Mail Notifications of Event Logs and Alerts
The Firewall Logs can be configured to log and then e-mail denial of access, general attack
information, and other information to a specified e-mail address. For example, your VPN firewall
router will log security-related events such as: accepted and dropped packets on different segments
of your LAN; denied incoming and outgoing service requests; hacker probes and login attempts;
and other general information based on the settings you input on the
Firewall Logs & E-mail
menu. In addition, if you have set up Content Filtering on the Block Sites screen (see
“Blocking
Internet Sites (Content Filtering)” on page 4-21
), a log will be generated when someone on your
network tries to access a blocked site.
To configure e-mail or syslog notification, or to view the logs, see
“Activating Notification of
Events and Alerts” on page 9-4
.
Administrator Tips
Consider the following operational items:
1.
As an option, you can enable remote management if you have to manage distant sites from a
central location (see

)
•
Services (see
“About Services-Based Rules” on page 4-3
)
•

•
Block sites (see
“Blocking Internet Sites (Content Filtering)” on page 4-21
