Monitoring the Firebox X Edge

When you expand System Status on the navigation bar, you see a list of monitoring categories. With these
pages, you can monitor all the components of the Edge and how they work. The Firebox X Edge monitor pages
are not set to refresh automatically. If you want a page to refresh automatically, click the Start Continuous
Refresh or Restart Continuous Refresh button at the top of the page. The page refreshes until you click
Pause Continuous Refresh or you navigate to a new page. You can see a small counter below the button that
shows the number of times the page has been refreshed.

the Edge:
IP Address
IP address of the computer that responds to the ARP request.
HW type
Type of Ethernet connection that the IP address uses to connect.
Flags
If the hardware address of the IP resolves, it is marked as valid. If it does not, it is marked as invalid.
HW Address
MAC address of the network interface card that is associated with the IP address.
Mask
If a netmask is associated with the entry, it is listed here. If not, an asterisk (*) is shown.
Device
Interface on the Edge where the hardware address for that IP address was found. The Linux kernel
name for the interface is shown in parentheses.

Authentications

This status page shows the IP address, user name, start time, idle time, and connection type for every user that
is currently authenticated to the Edge.
