Chapter14 Completing Interface Configuration (Routed Mode)
Monitoring Interfaces
•Last Updated—Shows when the data in the tables was last updated.
MAC Address Table
The Monitoring > Interfaces> MAC Address Table pane shows the static and dynamic MAC address
entries. See the “MAC Address Table” section on page 14-25 for more information about the MAC
address table and adding static entries.
Fields
•Interface—Shows the interface name associated with the entry.
•MAC Address—Shows the MAC address.
•Type—Shows if the entry is static or dynamic.
•Age—Shows the age of the entry, in minutes. To set the timeout, see the “MAC Address Table”
section on page 14-25.
•Refresh—Refreshes the table with current information from the ASA.
Dynamic ACLs
The Monitoring > Interfaces> Dynamic ACLs pane shows a table of the Dynamic ACLs, which are
functionally identical to the user-configured ACLs except that they are created, activated and deleted
automatically by the ASA. These ACLs do not show up in the configuration and are only visible in this
table. They are identified by the “(dynamic)” keyword in the ACL header.
When you choose an ACL in this table, the contents of the ACL are shown in the bottom text field.
Fields
•ACL—Shows the name of the dynamic ACL.
•Element Count—Shows the number of elements in the ACL
•Hit Count—Shows the total hit count for all of the elements in the ACL.
Interface Graphs
The Monitoring > Interfaces > Interface Graphs pane lets you view interface statistics in graph or table
form. If an interface is shared among contexts, the ASA shows only statistics for the current context. The
number of statistics shown for a subinterface is a subset of the number of statistics shown for a physical
interface.
Fields
•Available Graphs for—Lists the types of statistics available for monitoring. You can choose up to
four types of statistics to show in one graph window. You can open multiple graph windows at the
same time.

–
Packet Counts—Shows the number of packets input and output on the interface.
–
Packet Rates—Shows the rate of packets input and output on the interface.
