Availability
Certain D-Link hardware models allow the administrator to use the CLI to query the current value of
various hardware operational parameters such as the current temperature inside the firewall. This
feature is referred to as Hardware Monitoring.
The D-Link NetDefend models that currently support hardware monitoring are the DFL-1600, 1660,
2500, 2560 and 2560G.
The hardware monitor queries are performed through the CLI but enabling and confguring the
feature is done through the Web Interface.

The System > Hardware Monitoring section of the Web Interface provides the administrator with
the following settings for enabling hardware monitoring when it is available:
Enable Sensors

Using the hwm CLI Command
To get a list current values from all available sensors, the following command can be used:
gw-world:/> hwm -all
This can be abbreviated to:

Some typical output from this command for two temperature sensors is shown below:
gw-world:/> hwm -a
