Device Information

 

 

 

System Name

This is the System Name you enter in the MAINTENANCE General screen. It is

 

for identification purposes.

Firmware Version

This is the ZyNOS Firmware version and the date created. ZyNOS is ZyXEL's

 

proprietary Network Operating System design.

Routing Protocol

This shows the routing protocol - IP for which the ZyWALL is configured. This field

 

is not configurable.

Device Mode

This displays whether the ZyWALL is functioning as a router or a bridge.

 

 

Firewall

This displays whether or not the ZyWALL’s firewall is activated.

 

 

System Time

This field displays your ZyWALL’s present date and time along with the difference

 

from the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) zone. The difference from GMT is based

 

on the time zone. It is also adjusted for Daylight Saving Time if you set the

 

ZywALL to use it.

Memory

The first number shows how many kilobytes 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 kilobytes).

 

The bar displays what percent of the ZyWALL's heap memory is in use. The bar

 

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

This includes all sessions that are currently:

 

• Traversing the ZyWALL

 

• Terminating at the ZyWALL

 

• Initiated from the ZyWALL

 

The second number is the maximum number of sessions that can be open at one

 

time.

 

The bar displays what percent of the maximum number of sessions is in use. The

 

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

Policy Routes

The first number shows how many policy routes you have configured.

 

The second number shows the maximum number of policy routes that you can

 

configure on the ZyWALL.
