subnets. More information on using the Network Objects toolbox, including step-bystep
descriptions, can be found in Chapter 5.
The toolbox serves as a ???one-stop-shop??? for many configuration settings in ISA, and can
make the life of an administrator much easier through the creation of custom schedules,
content types, users, protocols, and network objects. For these reasons, it is highly advisable
to become familiar with these options.
Navigating the Monitoring Node Options
One of the biggest improvements to ISA Server has been the addition of multiple robust
and capable logging and monitoring options. The key to troubleshooting an ISA server is
understanding what type of activity is currently occurring, whether packets are being
denied or granted, or whether the firewall is being attacked. The Monitoring node, illustrated
in Figure 3.18, is the portal toward accessing the logging and monitoring capabilities
of ISA Server, and is one of the most valuable tools in the ISA Server Console.
Within the Monitoring node of the ISA Server Console, there are seven tabs in the Details
pane that link to different monitoring and reporting functions that the ISA server
provides.
