Monitoring the gateway

There are two main ways to monitor the gateway: with the statistics gathered
in the Gateway Information window and with SNMP.

Viewing gateway statistics

The Gateway Manager window presents a dynamic picture of the gateway
in operation.

From the top section of the window you can determine:

m the number of automatic addresses available for assignment
m the number of automatic addresses already assigned
m the number of connected users
m the current level of gateway activity
m the current level of invalid or illegal packets received by the gateway

Note that manual addresses are not tracked, because they are, by definition, not
available for automatic distribution.

The lower section of the window is a table of connected users, listing their
names, AppleTalk and IP addresses, packets forwarded, and idle time. To sort
this table by any of its fields, click on that field’s heading. The field currently
being used for sorting is underlined.
