The sections of this chapter explain how to use troubleshooting tools and methods if problems arise<br />

when working with the appliance.<br />

Files for recording appliance behavior<br />

You can record appliance behavior and evaluate the data recorded in the corresponding files. Several<br />

types of files can be created for this purpose:<br />

• Log files — For logging different events and functions, such as access to the appliance or updates of<br />

files and modules<br />

• Rule tracing files — For recording the processing of rules<br />

• Feedback files — For backtracing functions after the failure of a particular function<br />

• Core files — For recording memory content after a crash has occurred<br />

• Connection tracing files — For recording activities on the connections from the appliance to other<br />

network components<br />

• Packet tracing files — For recording network activities of the appliance<br />

Network tools<br />

You might need to test whether connections to other network components still work. The appliance<br />

provides several tools, including ping, nslookup, and others, for this purpose.<br />
