|
|
Flash | The first number shows how many megabytes of the flash the ZyWALL is using. |
|
|
Memory | The first number shows how many megabytes of the heap memory the ZyWALL |
| is using. Heap memory refers to the memory that is not used by ZyNOS (ZyXEL |
| Network Operating System) and is thus available for running processes like NAT, |
| VPN and the firewall. |
| The second number shows the ZyWALL's total heap memory (in megabytes). |

| turns from green to red when the maximum is being approached. |
|
|

| bar turns from green to red when the maximum is being approached. |
|
|
CPU | This field displays what percentage of the ZyWALL’s processing ability is |
| currently used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the ZyWALL is running at |
| full load, and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some |
| applications to have more throughput, you should turn off other applications (for |
| example, using bandwidth management). |
