8 The syslog field provides you with the ability to allow gated to log
occasional packets to syslog (and thereby Sidewinder G2 audits) in
addition to the depth of information obtainable from trace options. The
format is first pktcnt every pktcnt2, which means OSPF will log the first
pktcnt packets for each type of OSPF packet. After that, it will then log one
message per pktcnt2 packets. The default is no entry, which means no
logging. Do not change this field unless directed to by Secure Computing.
9 In the OSPF Enabled field specify whether OSPF is enabled (yes or no).
10 To save your changes, click the Save icon in the toolbar.
