System Resources

Flash

The first number shows how many megabytes of the flash the ZyWALL is using.

Memory

The first number shows how many megabytes of the heap memory the ZyWALL 

is using. Heap memory refers to the memory that is not used by ZyNOS (ZyXEL 

Network Operating System) and is thus available for running processes like NAT, 

VPN and the firewall. 
The second number shows the ZyWALL's total heap memory (in megabytes). 
The bar displays what percent of the ZyWALL's heap memory is in use. The bar 

turns from green to red when the maximum is being approached.

Sessions

The first number shows how many sessions are currently open on the ZyWALL. 

This includes all sessions that are currently traversing the ZyWALL, terminating at 

the ZyWALL or Initiated from the ZyWALL 
The second number is the maximum number of sessions that can be open at one 

time. 
The bar displays what percent of the maximum number of sessions is in use. The 

bar turns from green to red when the maximum is being approached.

CPU

This field displays what percentage of the ZyWALL’s processing ability is currently 

used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the ZyWALL is running at full load, 

and the throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some 

applications to have more throughput, you should turn off other applications (for 

example, using bandwidth management).
