General Information on Rule Base Logging
Logging provides a set of options that are used to enable or disable
the logging of rejected packet messages in the system log file.
Enable Logging (Rule Base)
Enable Filter Logging causes the Firewall filter to mark logging
of rejected packet messages as "enabled." When logging is enabled
and filters are active, records of packets that are rejected due
to filter rules are written to the system log file.Note however,
that the ability to enable logging is independent of the status
of filtering in general. If filter support is inactive, enabling
the logging is supported and permitted, but it has no immediate
effect.You will be reminded of this via an informational message
when the procedure executes.
Disable Logging (Rule Base)
Disable Filter Logging causes the Firewall filter to mark logging
of rejected packet messages as "disabled." After executing this
procedure, and if filters are active, the Firewall filter will no
longer record rejected packet messages in the system log file.Note
however, that disabling the logging is independent of the status
of filtering in general. If filter support is inactive, a request
to disable logging will be honored, but its effect will not be
realized until filters are activated again.
