Firewall log messages explained
DEFENDO will always log every packet which is dropped by its firewall. There are only a few exceptions from this rule:
- A huge amount of packets is dropped for the same reason. Only few packets will be logged each second to avoid overloading the system
- The dynamic firewall blocks the packet
- When routing is disabled, forwarded packets are silently discarded
To display the firewall log you will have to select menu item "Monitoring -> Log files" on the DEFENDO GUI. Select the requested log from the list "Log file".
Each line in the firewall log provides the following information:
Date Time Name kernel: Stage Action [Reason] Interfaces Packet's-Signatur
Date Time Name kernel: Stage Action [Reason] Interfaces Packet's-Signatur
Please consider DEFENDO's manual or online help system for further details.
