8. Logging and Other Features

Logging on the Plus is the same as that on the VBR, including the fact that the Plus does not log or email alerts when probed (port scanned), but only when "serious attacks" (snork, smurf, etc.) are attempted. The syslog capability that SMC said was planned for a future VBR firmware update is not in the Plus either.

Update 10/24/02 The 2.03e firmware update adds Dynamic DNS support for both TZO.com and DynDNS.org, handy if you'd like to use a domain name instead of an IP address to reach any of your Plus' Virtual Servers. Support for UPnP has also been added, but other than ON/OFF radio buttons, you get no view into what it's doing, nor do you get to specify any services via UPnP's Internet Gateway Properties settings.
