You can specify that logs are automatically sent to the specified e-mail address with these options:

•

Select this check box if you want immediate notification of a significant security event, such 
as a known attack, abnormal TCP flag, or attempted access to a blocked site.

•

Send logs according to this schedule

 

Specify how often to send the logs: None, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or When Full.

Time for sending log 

 

Specify the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or weekly.

If the Weekly, Daily or Hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified 
period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is sent, 
the log is cleared from the firewall’s memory. If the firewall cannot e-mail the log file, the log 
buffer may fill up. In this case, the firewall overwrites the log and discards its contents.

The configuration settings of the FVS328 Firewall are stored in a configuration file in the firewall. 
This file can be backed up to your computer, restored, or reverted to factory default settings. The 
procedures below explain how to do these tasks.
