## Network

This window displays the model of your Stormshield Network multifunction firewall as well as the number of interfaces available on it (32 maximum).

The interface(s) used appear(s) in green. When the bypass mechanism is enabled (industrial firewalls only) and has been activated, the first two interfaces of the firewall will be represented as follows:

A tooltip containing information about each interface is available.

The following information is given:

Name | Name of the interface used ( “in”, “out” or “dmz”), accompanied by its IP address and subnet mask.
Network packets | The number of Accepted, Blocked, Fragmented, TCP, UDP and ICMP packets.
Blocked | The number of packets blocked coming from this interface.
Traffic received | The total and individual breakdown of TCP, UDP and ICMP packets received.
Traffic sent | The total and individual breakdown of TCP, UDP and ICMP packets sent.
Current incoming throughput | Current incoming throughput
Current outgoing throughput | Current outgoing throughput
xx mode activated | This value is only available for industrial firewalls and is only shown when bypass has been enabled and the "Safety" operating mode has been selected. The possible values are "Safety mode enabled" (bypass not activated) or "Bypass mode enabled" (bypass activated).

## Alarms

This window contains the list of the last 50 alarms raised by the firewall.

Date | Date and time of the last alarms raised, arranged from the most recent to least recent.
Action | When an alarm is raised, the packet that set off the alarm will be subject to the action configured. The actions are “Block” or “Pass”.
Priority | 3 levels of priority are possible and can be configured in the module Application Protection > Applications and Protections.
Source | IP address that raised the alarm. For the purpose of compliance with the European GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), IP addresses are now replaced with the term "Anonymized". To view them, you will need to obtain the "Full access to logs (private data)" privilege by clicking on Full access to logs and refreshing the data in the widget.
Destination | Address of the intended destination before the alarm was raised.
Message | Comment associated with the selected alarm. Examples of possible messages “Invalid ICMP message (no TCP/UDPlinked entry)” (minor priority). “IP address spoofing (type=1)” (major priority).

When the row of the alarm is selected, the following buttons will appear:

Configure | This button shows the alarms in the Applications and Protections module. The Advanced column in the selected row will offer the Modify button, which allows sending an e-mail when an alarm is raised, quarantining the host that caused the alarm to be raised or capturing the blocked packet.
Online help | Select the desired alarm and click on this link, which will take you to a help page relating to the message (see above).

This section of the dashboard will contain a button allowing you to “Clear screen”, or delete information logs.

## Resources

This window provides a graphic view of hardware resources relating to your firewall.

## Stormshield Management Center

If you have installed the Stormshield Management Center centralized administration server, this panel will allow you to display the characteristics of the firewall's connection to the SMC server.

IMPORTANT

If you have logged on via the web administration interface to a firewall attached to an SMC server, "Managed by SMC - Emergency mode" will be displayed in the upper panel. By default, the account used only has read-only access privileges.

You are strongly advised against directly modifying the configuration of a firewall administered by an SMC server, except in an emergency (SMC server uncontactable, for example).

This is because any changes made directly to the configuration via the web administration interface on a firewall attached to an SMC server may be overwritten when a new configuration is sent from the SMC server.

Status of the service | Indicates the status of the connection between the firewall and the SMC server.
IP address | IP address of the SMC server.
Logged on/ Logged off since | Specifies the time/date from which the firewall has been logged on to or logged off from the SMC server.
Last deployment number | Indicates the number of the last deployment carried out by the SMC server on the firewall.
Last configuration update | Indicates the last date on which the configuration was sent from the SMC server to the firewall.

## Sandboxing

If your firewall has the sandboxing option, this panel will allow you to show the status of the connection to the service as well as the latest scan statistics.

Status of the service | Indicates the status of the connection between the firewall and the Stormshield sandboxing servers. The various possible values are: Connected: the firewall has a Sandboxing license and the analysis infrastructure in the cloud is contactable. Unreachable: the firewall has a Sandboxing license but the analysis infrastructure in the cloud is uncontactable. Restricted access: the firewall has a sandboxing license, the analysis infrastructure in the cloud is contactable, the quota for the number of files that the firewall can send has not been exceeded, but a rather large number of submitted files has been analyzed with a low priority. Connected, submitted file quota exceeded: the firewall has a sandboxing license, the analysis infrastructure in the cloud is contactable, but the quota for the number of files that the firewall can send has recently been exceeded. Files beyond this quota will be analyzed with a low priority. Connected, submitted file quota unknown: the firewall has a sandboxing license, the analysis infrastructure in the cloud is contactable, but the quota for the number of files that the firewall can send cannot be determined. Restricted access, submitted file quota exceeded: the firewall has a sandboxing license, the analysis infrastructure in the cloud is contactable, the quota for the number of files that the firewall can send has recently been exceeded, and a rather large number of submitted files has been analyzed with a low priority. Restricted access, submitted file quota unknown: the firewall has a sandboxing license, the analysis infrastructure in the cloud is contactable, the quota for the number of files that can be sent cannot be determined, and a rather large number of submitted files has been analyzed with a low priority.
Criticality of the last malicious file detected | This indicator will only be displayed when a file scanned by sandboxing has been deemed malicious. It will then be presented in the form of a score ranging from the detection threshold of a malicious file (set by default to 80) to 100.
Nature of the last malicious file detected | This indicator will only be displayed when a file scanned by sandboxing has been deemed malicious. In this case, it will set out the nature of the malware (e.g.: "variant of Win32/SNS.Test").
Last malicious file detected on | This indicator will only be displayed when a file scanned by sandboxing has been deemed malicious. In this case, it will set out the date and time the malware was detected (format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
