<div>
The level of syslog: &nbsp;Informational Alert Warning Debug<br />
indicates the amount of system messages which would be logged. For eg, in debug level almost all transactions for a particular event would be logged, in warning the number would be less and so on.<br />
<br />
So, it would least when set as &nbsp;Informational and maximum when set to Debug.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Hi<br />
I have a PIX506E and I'd like to log fw configuration changes (who logged on with which account, changed what on the PIX, who tried to log on but was unsuccessful etc.) and vpn user logons via syslog. Which trap level should I configure for this? Informational? Alert? Warning? Debug? Thanks!

What do different syslog levels stand for?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
