Usage Guidelines

The perfmon command allows you to monitor the firewall unit's performance. Use the show perfmon command to view the information immediately. Use the perfmon verbose command to display the information every two minutes continuously. Use the perfmon interval seconds command with the perfmon verbose command to display the information continuously every number of seconds you specify.

The show perfmon command does not display in a Telnet console session.

Use the perfmon quiet command to disable the display.

An example of the performance information follows:

Stat: Current Average
Xlates 33/s 20/s
Connections 110/s 10/s
TCP Conns 50/s 42/s
WebSns Req 4/s 2/s
TCP Fixup 20/s 15/s
HTTP Fixup 5/s 5/s
FTP Fixup 7/s 4/s
AAA Authen 10/s 5/s
AAA Author 9/s 5/s
AAA Account 3/s 3/s

This information lists the number of translations, connections, Websense requests, address translations (called "fixups"), and AAA transactions that occur each second.


Examples

The following commands display the performance monitor statistics every 30 seconds on the firewall console:


perfmon interval 30
