8. Routing and Remote Access Logging
Type of logging
Description
Event logging
Records remote access server errors, warnings, and other detailed information in the system event log
Local authentication and account logging
Tracks usage and authentication attempts on the local remote access server
RADIUS-based authentication and account logging
Tracks remote access usage and authentication attempts

9. Authentication and Accounting Logging
Authentication and accounting logging is a process that records detailed information about remote access connection requests
Use authentication and accounting information to:
Track remote access usage and authentication attempts
Maintain records for billing purposes
Isolate remote access policy issues
Refine your logging methods after you determine which data best matches your needs by specifying:
The log file properties
The types of request logging

10. How to Configure Authentication and Accounting Logging
Your instructor will demonstrate how to:
Enable Windows accounting
Configure local authentication and accounting logging
Configure RADIUS-based authentication and accounting logging

11. Log Files for Specific Connections
Connection type
Log file name
Description of log file
PPP
PPP log
Records the series of programming functions and PPP control messages during a PPP connection
L2TP/IPSec
Audit log
Records information about IPSec-related events
