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 adaptive security appliance. 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.

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 adaptive security appliance 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.

8-36
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
section on page 8-35.
Refresh—Refreshes the table with current information from the adaptive security appliance.
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.
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.
Byte Counts—Shows the number of bytes input and output on the interface.
–
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.
–
Bit Rates—Shows the bit rate for the input and output of the interface.
–
– Drop Packet Count—Shows the number of packets dropped on the interface.
These additional statistics display for physical interfaces:
– Buffer Resources—Shows the following statistics:
Overruns—The number of times that the adaptive security appliance was incapable of handing
received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the adaptive security
appliance capability to handle the data.
Underruns—The number of times that the transmitter ran faster than the adaptive security
appliance could handle.
