Alarm
In this chapter, the Administrator can view traffic alarms and event alarms that
occur and the firewall has logged.
Firewall has two alarms:
Traffic Alarm
and
Event Alarm
.
Traffic alarm:
In control policies, the Administrator set the threshold value for traffic alarm.
The System regularly checks whether the traffic for a policy exceeds its threshold
value and adds a record to the traffic alarm file if it does.
Event alarm:
When Firewall detects attacks from intruders, it writes attacking data in the
event alarm file and sends an e-mail alert to the Administrator to take emergency
steps
.
