Overview
The SMS Remote Navigator provides multiple mechanisms for reporting real-time
information regarding the status of the system.
Brick Status Viewers
Brick status is provided via real-time windows for each Brick, and overall for
aggregate collections of Bricks. Single-Brick status provides up-down statistics for each
physical port, along with packet, byte, and session statistic collection information.
Physical status provides information specific to the physical port, including DOT3
errors, in-out counters, and other information. Quality-of-Service graphs display
throughput and performance relative to configured guarantees and limits for an
at-a-glance view of the offered traffic as a function of configured bandwidth.
VPN Tunnel Status Viewers
The status of all VPN Tunnels can be viewed at-a-glance. Each tunnel status is
reported and summarized. Individual users using Client VPN can even be disabled in
real-time, if so desired. Additionally Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) can be
monitored for VPN tunnel round-trip delay.
Administrator and SMS Status Viewer
All logged-in administrators may be viewed in real-time, along with their connection
statistics. The connection status of each SMS can also be viewed in real-time.
System Status Graphs
Many aspects of the system can also be graphed, using dynamically-updating strip
charts. The starting place for this view is an integrated Dashboard, which displays in a
single window the entire status of the system, including current status as well as local
history. Overall graphs include:
• Total number of Bricks up/down
• Total number of currently logged-in users, by type
• Total number of VPN tunnels up/down, by key negotiation method
• Overall Brick sessions by Pass/Drop/Proxy//NAT/IPSec
• Overall sessions by IP protocol
• Overall packet counts in/out
• Number of SMSs/CSs up/down
