Traffic Status
Traffic Status Overview
Use the Traffic Status screens to look at the network traffic status and statistics of the WAN/LAN interfaces and NAT.
What You Can Do in this Chapter
WAN Status
Click System Monitor > Traffic Status to open the WAN screen. The figures in this screen show the number of bytes received and sent through the Zyxel Device’s WAN interface. The table below shows packet statistics for each WAN interface.
System Monitor > Traffic Status > WAN
The following table describes the fields in this screen.
