Network dashboard

Use the Network Dashboard for the Network IPS appliance to view the overall health of the network. This dashboard provides information about interfaces and the speed and time at which bytes and packets are entering and exiting the network.

Navigating in the Network IPS Local Management Interface: Monitor Health and Statistics > Network > Dashboard

You can find information about the following network options:
Option Description
Network health Displays whether the network is up-to-date.
Interfaces Displays mode, duplex, and link speed of each interface.
Throughput Snapshot Displays the minimum, maximum, and average Mbits per second of in, out, secured, and unanalyzed traffic.
Packet Rate Snapshot Displays the minimum, maximum, and average packets per second of blocked, injected, unanalyzed, and forwarded traffic.
Note: You can click the graphs to access pages that provide more detailed information.

The navigation changes depending on the configuration of your network. The appliance might show navigation to Segment Bandwidth, Segment Packets, Interface Bandwidth, and Interface Packets pages. For example, if all interfaces are paired, the appliance does not show navigation to Interface Bandwidth and Interface Packets pages. Another behavior to note is the link option to View non-paired interfaces if you have segments in Passive Mode. For example, if Segment 3 is in Passive Mode (ports are not paired), you can click View non-paired interfaces and change the mode.
