Alert functions of the firewall

This section contains detailed descriptions of the messages sent by the firewall during security-related events. The following message types are available:

Alerts are triggered either by the intrusion detection system, the denial of service protection, or by freely adjustable actions in the firewall. You can specify the specific parameters for the different types of notification (e.g. the e-mail account to be used) in the following places:

LANconfig: Log & Trace > SMTP account and Log & Trace > System events

Command line: Setup > Mail and Setup > SYSLOG

An example:

Let us assume a filter named 'BLOCKHTTP' is defined to block access to an HTTP server (192.168.200.10). In the event that someone attempts to access this server anyway, all traffic to and from that computer is blocked and the administrator is alerted via SYSLOG.
