SBG6580 (v8.5.x): Firewall Local Log Setup

The SBG6580 Gateway has the ability to send notification of the firewall events logs in either of the following formats:

• Individual e-mail alerts sent out automatically each time the firewall is under attack.
• Local log is stored within the modem and displayed in table form on the Local Log page.

The Firewall Local Log is disabled by default.  This document describes how to enable and configure the Firewall Local Log.
