Interface Trace Options

Last Updated : Dec 16, 2020 |

This tab provides trace options for monitoring the system's data network interfaces. An interface can be a physical interface like a LAN port or a configuration interface, like a data connection to a remote system or a Dial-In User.

Packets

The following trace options provide information on either the whole system or on the specific interface specified in the Interface Name field.

Option

Description

Interface Remote

Log traffic tunneled through to any externally connected WAN3 modules.

Interface Queue

Log packets being queued at an interface. Especially useful for determining what packet, and therefore which IP address on the internal network, caused an outgoing data call to be made.

Interface Packets In

Log all packets received.

Interface Packets Out

Log all packets transmitted.

NAT Fail In

Log all NAT (Network Address Translation) packets received that have failed to pass through the firewall.

NAT Fail Out

Log all NAT (Network Address Translation) packets transmitted that have failed to pass through the firewall.

NAT In

Log all NAT (Network Address Translation) packets received.

NAT Out

Log all NAT (Network Address Translation) packets transmitted.

Firewall Allowed In

Log all packets received that have successfully passed through the firewall.

Firewall Allowed Out

Log all packets transmitted that have successfully passed through the firewall.

Firewall Fail In

Log all packets received that have failed to pass through the firewall.

Firewall Fail Out

Log all packets transmitted by the system that have failed to pass through the firewall.

Firewall Generic In

Log all packets received (except UDP, TCP and ICMP) that have successfully passed through the firewall.

Firewall Generic Out

Log all packets transmitted (except UDP, TCP and ICMP) that have successfully passed through the firewall.

Firewall TCP Allowed In

Log all TCP packets received that have successfully passed through the firewall.

Firewall TCP Allowed Out

Log all TCP packets transmitted that have successfully passed through the firewall.

Firewall UDP Allowed In

Log all UDP packets received that have successfully passed through the firewall.

Firewall UDP Allowed Out

Log all UDP packets transmitted that have successfully passed through the firewall.

Interface Name

This option can be used to limit the information shown for the fields above to those associate with a selected service. A blank entry matches all services.

Filters

These options are used in conjunction with the other options on the tab to limit the number of packets displayed or to display packets from a range of devices.

Option

Description

IP Address 1

If set, only packets to and from the IP address are logged.

IP Address 2

If set, this field is used in conjunction with IP Address 1 to display only packets between the pair of addresses.

MAC Address 1

If set, only packets to and from the MAC are logged.

MAC Address 2

If set, this field is used in conjunction with MAC Address 1 to display only packets between the pair of MAC addresses.

TCP

  • Src Port

  • Dst Port

UDP

  • Src Port

  • Dst Port

Broadcast

If set, this option logs all broadcast packets except ARP broadcasts.

WAN3 chat

This option allows you to filter out the continuous dialogue which takes place between an system's control unit and an associated WAN3 module.

ARP

Log ARP packets.

Multicast

Log MultiCast packets (i.e. packets with either a source or destination address of 224.0.0.0).

Payload Display Size

This option limits the size of the IP packet displayed. Displayed payload can be set to anything between 0 and 1500 bytes. The default setting is 32 bytes.

Default Settings

The following trace options are enabled by default. See Defaulting the Trace Options.

  • Interface Queue, TCP, UDP, ARP, MultiCast.
