DESCRIPTION

IP Address

This field displays the current IPv6 address assigned to the interface. If the IPv6 address is

 

not displayed, the interface is disabled or did not receive an IPv6 address via DHCP.

 

If this interface is a member of an active virtual router, this field displays the IP address it

 

is currently using. This is either the static IP address of the interface (if it is the master) or

 

the management IP address (if it is a backup).

 

 

IP Assignment

This field displays how the interface gets its IP address.

 

Static - This interface has a static IP address.

 

DHCP Client - This interface gets its IP address from a DHCP server.

 

 

Services

This field lists which services the interface provides to the network. Examples include

 

DHCP relay, DHCP server, DDNS, RIP, and OSPF. This field displays n/a if the interface

 

does not provide any services to the network.

 

 

Action

Use this field to get or to update the IP address for the interface. Click Renew to send a

 

new DHCP request to a DHCP server. Click Connect to try to connect a PPPoE/PPTP

 

interface. If the interface cannot use one of these ways to get or to update its IP address,

 

this field displays n/a.

 

 

Interface

This table provides packet statistics for each interface.

the name, click this to look at the statistics for virtual interfaces on top of this interface.

 

 

Status

This field displays the current status of the interface.

 

Down - The interface is not connected.

 

Speed / Duplex - The interface is connected. This field displays the port speed and

 

duplex setting (Full or Half).

 

This field displays Connected and the accumulated connection time (hh:mm:ss) when the

 

PPP interface is connected.

 

 

TxPkts

This field displays the number of packets transmitted from the ZyWALL on the interface

 

since it was last connected.

 

 

RxPkts

This field displays the number of packets received by the ZyWALL on the interface since it

 

was last connected.

 

 

Tx B/s

This field displays the transmission speed, in bytes per second, on the interface in the one-

 

second interval before the screen updated.

 

 

Rx B/s

This field displays the reception speed, in bytes per second, on the interface in the one-

 

second interval before the screen updated.

 

 

6.4 The Traffic Statistics Screen

Click Monitor > System Status > Traffic Statistics to display the Traffic Statistics screen. This

screen provides basic information about the following for example:

•Most-visited Web sites and the number of times each one was visited. This count may not be accurate in some cases because the ZyWALL counts HTTP GET packets. Please see Table 24 on page 87 for more information.

•Most-used protocols or service ports and the amount of traffic on each one
