Running Statistics
The Statistics dialog box enables you to view the real-time WAN statistics for the Firewall. This
screen shows the state of the attached external device (if any) and the current maximum baud rate.
Note: If your Internet connection is through the ETHERNET 2 port instead of the RS232/V.35 (WAN)
port, you will have to use a Telnet session to gather statistics.
The read-only Port statistics screen (below) provides all the details relating to the traffic on the
Firewall’s WAN port. These statistics can be helpful in troubleshooting suspected problems at the
physical layer; i.e., the WAN port itself, the link device, and any associated cabling.
All fields on this read-only screen refer to Port Number 1, which is the WAN Port. The User Name
field displays the user name negotiated with the ISP for the Internet account. The maximum baud rate
and modem type are also displayed.
In the Current Connection group, the Connect String field displays a message (e.g., CONNECT
115200) reported by the modem when the call connected. The Port Status field displays the current
status of the selected port (e.g., PPP Client Up). The IP Address group displays the parameters of
the current connection, and the Uptime field shows the amount of time that has elapsed since the
current call was connected. The Packets group displays packet traffic details, and the Bytes group
shows the byte-traffic details for the current call only.
Fields in the Total group at the right side of the screen show the total elapsed time since the Firewall
booted up. On the screen (shown above), the uptime is 2 hours, 13 minutes, and 56 seconds. The
Packets group displays the total accumulated packet traffic and the Bytes group shows the total
accumulated byte-traffic for the current connection.
For additional details and parameter ranges for specific fields on the statistics dialog box, refer to the
Helps.
