Enable Syslog

The device supports generation and reporting of syslog messages and SNMP traps to external logging servers. It's crucial that you enable one or both these features (preferably syslog) so that you can monitor events on your device. In addition, as the device does not retain logged reports (SNMP is limited), it's recommended that you make sure that your syslog server saves all logged events for future analysis and reference.
