Configuring Logging

Cisco RV180/RV180W Administration Guide 143

Configuring Firewall Logs

To configure firewall logs:

STEP 1 Choose Administration > Logging > Firewall Logs.

STEP 2 Under the type of routing logs, check the box to choose one or both of the

following for each type:

• Accepted Packets—Check this box to log packets that were successfully

transferred through the segment. This option is useful when the Default

Outbound Policy is “Block” (see Configuring the Default Outbound Policy,

page 79). For example, if Accept Packets is checked for LAN to WAN and

there is a firewall rule to allow ssh traffic from the LAN, then whenever a LAN

machine tries to make an ssh connection, those packets will be accepted

and a message will be logged. (Make sure the log option is set to allow for

this firewall rule.)

• Dropped Packets—Check this box to log packets that were blocked from

being transferred through the segment. This option is useful when the

Default Outbound Policy is “Allow” (see Configuring the Default Outbound

Policy, page 79). For example, if Dropped Packets is checked for LAN to

WAN and there is a firewall rule to block ssh traffic from LAN, then whenever

a LAN machine tries to make an ssh connection, those packets will be

dropped and a message will be logged. (Make sure the log option is set to

allow for this firewall rule.)

STEP 3 Under the type of system logs, select the type of system events to be logged. The

following system events can be recorded:

• All Unicast Traffic—Check this box to log all unicast packets directed to the

router.

• All Broadcast/Multicast Traffic—Check this box to log all broadcast or

multicast packets directed to the router.

STEP 4 Under “other events logs,” select the type of event to be logged. The following

events can be recorded:

• Source MAC Filter—Check this box to log packets matched due to source

MAC filtering. Uncheck this box to disable source MAC filtering logs.

• Bandwidth Limit—Check this box to log packets dropped due to Bandwidth

Limiting.
