Explanation

Routers store their log files in the router cache (the router's internal memory buffer), because traditional routers do not have persistent disk-based filesystems like servers do. This means logs can be lost on reboot unless forwarded to an external syslog server. Router logs capture traffic flows, connection attempts, and potential attack signatures, making them a valuable forensic source. Investigators must retrieve logs from the router cache promptly or ensure syslog forwarding is configured.
