Interface Traffic Statistics
The Interface Traffic Statistics table lists received and transmitted information for all
configured interfaces.
The following information is displayed for all SonicWALL security appliance interfaces:
• Rx Unicast Packets - indicates the number of point-to-point communications received by
the interface.
• Rx Broadcast Packets - indicates the number of multipoint communications received by
the interface.
• RX Bytes - indicates the volume of data, in bytes, received by the interface.
• Tx Unicast Packets - indicates the number of point-to-point communications transmitted
by the interface.
• Tx Broadcast Bytes - indicates the number of mutlipoint communications received by the
interface.
• Tx Bytes - indicates the volume of data, in bytes, transmitted by the interface.
To clear the current statistics, click the Clear Statistics button at the top right of the Network

Interfaces
Interfaces in SonicOS can be:
• Physical interfaces: Physical interfaces are bound to a single port
• Virtual interfaces: Virtual interfaces are assigned as sub-interfaces to a physical interface
and allow the physical interface to carry traffic assigned to multiple interfaces.
• PortShield interfaces: PortShield interfaces allow for any of the LAN ports to be combined
into single or multiple PortShield interfaces.
