Logging Through a BOVPN Tunnel

If you have Fireboxes at two sites connected with a branch office VPN tunnel, you can enable the devices at both sites to send log messages to a Dimension server located at one of the sites. To use the same Dimension server for both sites, you can add tunnel routes to the configuration of both devices.

For example, consider an organization that has Fireboxes at two sites, Site A and Site B, connected with a branch office VPN tunnel. The administrator wants the Firebox at Site B to send log messages to the Dimension server located at Site A.

Add a Tunnel Route to the Site A BOVPN Configuration

At Site A, you must add a tunnel route for traffic through the BOVPN tunnel from Site B to the local Dimension server.

Add a Tunnel Route to the Site B BOVPN Configuration

At Site B, you must also add a tunnel route for traffic through the BOVPN tunnel between Site B and the Dimension server at Site A.

Configure Logging on the Device at Site B

After you configure the tunnel routes, you can configure the Firebox at Site B to send log messages to the IP address of the Dimension server located at Site A.
