Capturing and Tracing Packets
You can capture all packets that pass through a selected interface (LAN or WAN).
To capture packets:
STEP 1 Choose Diagnostics > Capture Packets.
STEP 2 Click Packet Trace; a new window appears.
STEP 3 Select the interface whose packets you want to trace and click Start. To stop the
packet capture, click Stop. Click Download to save a copy of the packet capture.
NOTE The packet trace is limited to 1MB of data per capture session. When the capture
file size exceeds 1MB, it will be deleted automatically and a new capture file will be
created.
Configuring Logging
NOTE Enabling logging options may generate a significant volume of log messages and
is recommended for debugging purposes only.
Configuring Logging Policies
To configure general logging policies:
STEP 1 Choose Administration > Logging > Logging Policies.
STEP 2 The Logging Policy Table shows the types of logging that are configured on the
system. To add a new type of logging, click Add.
STEP 3 Enter a name for the policy.
STEP 4 (Optional) Check Enable to log IPSec VPN events.
STEP 5 In the table, select the type of logs to capture for each severity. For example, you
might want to log all types of events that have a severity level of “Emergency,” so
you would check System, Kernel, and Wireless under “Emergency.”
STEP 6 Click Save.
