Configure logging The logging facility stores log messages for events with a specified severity in a

log file. You can change the size of the log file, and the type of messages

recorded. You can configure the router to output log messages in several ways,

for example to a remote router with a specified IP address, or as an email to a

particular email address. The router can also receive log messages from

another router. Set the Logging Facility to log and forward key messages to

your network (see Chapter 59, Logging Facility). Regularly inspect the log file,

especially when difficulties arise.

Configure firewall Use the firewall to protect your network from several kinds of unwanted traffic

or deliberate attacks (see Chapter 45, Firewall).

The firewall facility is enabled with a special feature license. To obtain one,

contact an Allied Telesis authorised distributor or reseller.

Flash compaction If flash memory fills to a certain level, it automatically compacts itself to

recover space available from deleted files. You can also activate flash

compaction manually if desired.

Caution While flash is compacting, do not restart the router or use commands

that affect the flash file subsystem. Do not restart the router, or create, edit, load,

rename, or delete files until a message confirms that flash file compaction is

complete. Interrupting flash compaction can damage files.

Watch for software

updates

Updates are released periodically to improve the function of your router

software and to add new features. Watch for these at
