SysLog is a popular utility in Unix world. To monitor router activity, you can run a SysLog
Daemon to capture all activities from the router. This Daemon program can run on a local PC
or a remote one elsewhere on the Internet. In addition, the Vigor routers provide the Mail Alert
facility so that the SysLog messages can be packed as an e-mail for someone who wants to
receive these messages. In the following, we explain how to setup the SysLog and mail alert
functions.
Click SysLog/Mail Alert Setup on the System Management group.
Enable(Syslog Access) Check the Enable box to activate the SysLog service.
Server IP Address Specify an IP address to which all SysLog messages will be sent.
Destination Port Specify a UDP port number to which the SysLog server is listening.
The default value is 514.
Enable(Mail Alert) Check the Enable box to activate the mail alert service.
SMTP Server (IP) Specify an IP address of the SMTP server which can send mails
from your Vigor router to the recipients' mailboxes directly.
Mail To Specify an e-mail address of the recipient's mailbox to which all
SysLog messages will be sent. The recipient could be an
administrator who intends to view or analyze the SysLog messages.
Return-Path Specify an e-mail address of another mailbox to accept all returned
messages if some fatal problems occur at the recipient mailbox.
For viewing the Syslog, please do the following:
1. Just set your monitor PC’s IP address in the field of Server IP Address

Router Tools>>Syslog from program menu.
