The Firewall Table window displays the following:

• Firewall Address – The IP address of the firewall.

• Firewall Name – The name of the firewall.

• Admin. Status – The firewall status:

  • Enable - Activates the firewall. The Operational Status will change to active.

  • Disable - Stops the firewall. The Operational Status will change to notInService.

  • Shutdown - Shuts down the firewall. The Operational Status will change to No New Sessions.

• Operational Status – Indicates if the firewall is responding to polling. If polling is disabled, the Operational Status parameter reflects the Admin Status of the firewall.

  • Active - Firewall is active

  • Not In Service - Firewall is or will become inactive. Existing sessions will be redirected to other firewalls.

  • No New Sessions - Firewall will receive no new sessions. Existing sessions are allowed to complete.

• Firewall Priority – Priority for traffic directing. A firewall with a higher weight will serve more clients. The weight ranges from 1 to 10. A firewall with priority 2 will receive twice the amount of traffic as a firewall with priority 1. This is not available for the cyclic dispatch method.

• Attach Users Number – The number of active users on the firewall.

• Peak Load – The highest number of packets per second on the firewall.

• Frames Rate – The number of frames transferred in the last second.

• Firewall Mode – Whether the firewall is in regular or backup mode. When a firewall is in backup mode, FireProof will not send any messages to it unless all the firewalls in regular mode are down. When more than one backup firewall exists, FireProof determines which backup firewall to use according to the dispatch method and the firewall's priority.

• Firewall Type – This denotes the type of firewall. This can either be a regular firewall or next hop router. The next hop router type implies that the firewall appears in the routing table.

  Note: when a firewall is a next hop router it cannot be deleted from the table.

• Connection Limit – The maximum number of allowed sessions open at any given time on this firewall. When the limit is reached, new sessions will no longer be redirected to this firewall.
  

• Firewall Mac Address Status – This indicates if the MAC of the firewall has been located.

• Firewall Port Number – This is the FireProof port on which the firewall LAN resides.
