Configuration Pages Overview
Monitoring the Firebox X Edge
The System Status page is the primary configuration page of the Firebox X Edge. This page appears first when
you connect to the Firebox X Edge. The system status page shows:
 Edge components and their current versions
 The serial number of the device
 The status of key Edge features
 The status of upgrade options
 Network configuration information
 Which external network (external or failover) is active. A green triangle appears adjacent to the
active network.
 Firewall configuration information
 Buttons to restart or update the Edge
When you expand System Status on the navigation bar, you see a list of monitoring categories. With these
pages, you can monitor all the components of the Edge and how they work. The Firebox X Edge monitor pages
are not set to refresh automatically. If you want a page to refresh automatically, click the Start Continuous
Refresh or Restart Continuous Refresh button at the top of the page. The page refreshes until you click
Pause Continuous Refresh or you navigate to a new page. You can see a small counter below the button that
shows the number of times the page has been refreshed.
ARP table
This status page shows devices that have responded to an ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) request from
the Edge:
IP Address
IP address of the computer that responds to the ARP request.
HW type
Type of Ethernet connection that the IP address uses to connect.
Flags
If the hardware address of the IP resolves, it is marked as valid. If it does not, it is marked as invalid.
HW Address
MAC address of the network interface card that is associated with the IP address.
A valid hardware address can briefly show as invalid while the Edge waits for a response for the ARP
request.
