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".
