- Linksys BEFSR41 - identify "Passed Inbounds" for BEF-type routers that use the BEFSR41, rather than the BEFSX41, log format. "Passed Inbound" events occur when an Inbound event's destination is a LAN IP address, rather than the WAN address, and "sub-types" is selected on the LOGGING menu. If you're not running a Server, leave "sub-types" off; if you are running one, turn "sub-types" ON, and use "exception" for color-coding on the DISPLAY menu. If you're forwarding Inbounds to a non-existent LAN IP address, leave "sub-types" off so that all types of "Inbound" events will be categorized as "I".
