2-10 Enterasys IPS Analysis and Reporting Guide
Description
Packets read by the Network Sensor on this interface that were
not dropped (in packets per second). The bits from these packets
contribute to the bandwidth license measurement.
Packets that were dropped at the interface because the sensor
was too busy to service the queue in time. Any dropped rate
above zero indicates a gap in security, as these packets are not
being inspected. Expressed in packets per second.
Packets that are read in successfully and sent through the
inspection process. Expressed in packets per second.
Packets that are read in successfully, but are filtered out by an
application filter statement or because they are of a protocol type
that Enterasys IPS does not know how to inspect. Expressed in
packets per second.
In an in-line IPS deployment, the packets that are blocked due to
either intrusion prevention rules or a black list rule. Expressed in
packets per second.
In an in-line IPS deployment, the packets that were read in
successfully and transmitted without inspection due to a white list
rule. Expressed in packets per second.
Number of bits in packets read by the sensor at this interface that
were not dropped. Expressed in megabits per second.
This value is compared with the license bandwidth limit to
determine if the bandwidth limit has been exceeded.
Number of bits in packets that were read in successfully at this
interface and sent through the inspection process. Expressed in
megabits per second.
Number of bits in packets that were read in successfully at this
interface but were filtered out. Expressed in megabits per second.
Number of bits in the packets that were blocked at this interface.
Expressed in megabits per second.
Number of bits in the packets that were read in successfully at this
interface and transmitted without inspection. Expressed in
megabits per second.
