fw tab -t host_table –s --- HELP!

[klouse]

I would like to understand the output of “fw tab -t host_table –s”

ID - ?
#VALS – I think it is the number of hosts that has connected? If that is the correct definition – What would be the time frame? Say the fw lichosts was not cleared.

#PEAKS – I THINK - it would be the most connection it has seen at one time.

#SLINKS - ?


As always any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
Al

I believe that host_table is the number of unique IPs seen on the firewall's non-external interfaces, since FW has been running on that machine. This assumes the table is cleared at restart, and that it does not read in the fwd.h and fwd.hosts files (don't think they exist anymore at NGX though).

I would have thought VALS and PEAKS would be the same.

It's been a while since I've worked with a node-limited license though.

skI4140 mentions SLINKS. Generally I would just ignore that number.
