Title: How do I get the actual traffic logs
Post by: emjayprice on April 14, 2008, 11:19:31 AM

I seem to be unable to get the actual traffic logs from my DIR-655. On an old Linksys this was easy with a Syslog server. On the Dlink all I seem to get are the warnings and everything else execpt the actual traffic.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Verify that all logging options are selected under "Log Options". If you want to have detailed successfull traffic connections in your log you'll need to use the "Access Control" feature and specify the "Method" as "Log Web Access Only". You can also look on the STATUS tab >> INTERNET SESSIONS page ...however, It does not resolve IP's to DNS/FDQN names, but it does display current or sessions that have not ended; the initial value of Time Out depends on the type and state of the connection.
    300 seconds = UDP connections.
    240 seconds = Reset or closed TCP connections. The connection does not close instantly so that lingering packets can pass or the connection can be re-established.
    7800 seconds = Established or closing TCP connections.

Alternate option would be using the network monitor tool or network probe software. (e.g. promon.exe, MS networking task manager, & etc) Some of the network monitor and protocol analyzer will help you to determine the traffic-level network monitoring, troubleshooting, analysis, and visualization.
