Concepts

NETGEAR®ProSecure®and ProSafe®security appliances are non-compromising network security solutions for midsized IT
environments. They are tailored to deliver reliable, affordable, and simple network protection that businesses demand.

Traditionally, the lack of significant local storage on UTM devices has presented a logging, reporting, and quarantine
problem for administrators. Many such devices stored very little logging information on the unit itself and required the
purchase of a separate “report manager” appliance just to store logs. With the NETGEAR ProSecure UTM and NETGEAR
ReadyNAS, administrators can now utilize their ReadyNAS storage device to keep logs and quarantined files.

The UTM by default does not have persistent logging, meaning if you reboot or shutdown the UTM the logs will be gone.
When integrated with the ReadyNAS the UTM logs will remain persistent on the ReadyNAS regardless of whether or not
the UTM reboots or shuts down. This will allow reports and logging to be accessible over an extended period of time.

In this application note, we will go over the steps on how to integrate the ReadyNAS with the UTM to use as a storage
partition for logging and quarantine.
