NOTE: Status 5 (Graceful Shutdown) does not apply to firewalls.
• The Hash-distribution field shows how many hash values are assigned to the server. This information is
relevant only when no path information is configured for the firewall group. If the group is using paths, the
hash-distribution value is always 0.
The following lines show traffic statistics for each firewall. The Name field lists the name of the firewall and the IP
field shows the IP address of the firewall. The "Host" indicates the ServerIron. The “Firewall” indicates the firewall.
The Groups field shows the firewall group number.
The statistics are for traffic between the ServerIron and the firewall. The CurConn and TotConn columns show the
total number of connections between the ServerIron and the firewall. A connection represents both send and
receive traffic. (Thus, each connection shown here is equivalent to two sessions.) The Packets and Octets fields
show the total number of packets and octets exchanged by the ServerIron and the firewall.
TCP/UDP Port Statistics
If you associated TCP/UDP application ports with specific firewalls (part of a stateful FWLB configuration), rows of
statistics for the application ports also are listed. The following example shows statistics for two ServerIrons in a
