Indicates that the Firebox is running from its primary user-
defined configuration.

Indicates that the Firebox is running from the read-only factory 
default system area.

Indicates that the Firebox is currently powered up.

Indicates traffic between Firebox interfaces. Green arrows briefly 
light to indicate allowed traffic between two interfaces in the 
direction of the arrows. A red light at a triangle corner indicates 
that the Firebox is denying packets at that interface.

A stack of lights that functions as a meter to indicate levels of 
traffic volume through the Firebox. Low volume indicators are 
green, while high volume indicators are yellow. The display 
updates three times per second. The scale is exponential: the first 
light represents 64 packets/second, the second light represents 
128 packets/second, increasing to the eighth light which 
represents 8,192 packets/second.

A stack of lights that functions as a meter to indicate the system 
load average. The system load average is the average number of 
processes running (not including those in wait states) during the 
last minute. Low average indicators are green, while high average 
indicators are yellow. The display updates three times per second. 
The scale is exponential with each successive light representing a 
doubling of the load average. The first light represents a load 
average of 0.15. The most significant load factor on a Firebox is the 
number of proxies running.

Firebox III Model 700 indicators are on a central back-lit indicator panel. 
The following photograph shows the entire front view.
