Re: ZyWall 2 - Firmware WK.12 released
10:30 AM, another reboot. Definately gotta get some external logging, every time it reboots it wipes out the logs. |

North Richland Hills, TX | Yep, reset, re-configured, had about a little better than 4 days straight uptime, then we started this. Oh well I need a project anyway  |

Decatur, GA | Is the router rebooting or are you just losing your internet connect.

Every time router reboots there's a dump file that you need to capture and send to ZyXel. |

North Richland Hills, TX | Hmm, something new to learn. I have a serial cable, I believe, at home. Does this enable some other logging than, say, Wallwatcher or the like? Thanks again for all the help. |

Burlington, ON | Use the serial cable that was included with your router.
Set the conn parameters to 8-N-1, turn on logging to file and let it be for day or two so you capture the dump during reboot. |

| OK, I've hooked up the serial cable, and logged in. Looks just like the telnet screen. I need a hint on where to turn on logging to file. Is it from the CI, or is it a menu option that I've just missed. I'm really impressed with the flexibility of the ZyWall, but damn, the learning curve is tough.
Thanks again

Burlington, ON | Depends whatever terminal you're using. Look in the menus. I prefer TeraTerm but HyperTerm must have some logging too. |

North Richland Hills, TX | Ok, I'm a bit confused here. Do I just connect via terminal, or do I log in, or connect , log in, and do something else? |

Burlington, ON | Just connect so you get the login prompt and you can leave it there. The crash log will be dumped just to that window. |

1 edit | OK, I'm there! It's set to capture the screen to file. Let's see what happens now. It's rebooted 4 time today. It will probably not reboot for days now that we're watching it, kinda like watching water boil.
Thanks again for your help, and I'll let you know what comes of it.
Steve
Edit: I spoke too soon, just rebooted... |
