How do I start Intel Packet Protect Monitor?

### General Tab

The General tab provides summary data about your status, security associations, and configuration.

The information presented on this tab is updated frequently to provide you with the latest information available about Intel Packet Protect. The Hardware Offload statistic is updated each time the security actions change. The Security Association Summary is updated in real time, meaning that as soon as a security association is made, the information is updated. The Number of Deny SAs indicates how many security associations are currently denied.

| NOTE: The measurement of offloaded packets may read "No statistics are available". This occurs when the number of offloaded packets is either zero, or has exceeded approximately two billion. The latter condition occurs when Intel Packet Protect program has been running continuously for many weeks. To correct the problem, you should turn security off then turn it back on. This procedure is described under "Using and Maintaining Intel Packet Protect".

### Associations Tab

The Associations tab lists all of the active security associations (SAs) in effect on your system. When you select a security association, detailed information about that SA is displayed, including:

- IP addresses for both systems involved in the security association

- The type of protection in effect for this SA

- The type of protocol

- Traffic in/out (updates every minute)

- How long this security association has been in effect

- The IPSec settings used for this security association

- The number of bytes that have been received and sent during this security association

Click the Lookup and Show FQDNs check box to convert the numeric IP addresses into fully-qualified domain names. This translation is performed by the DNS (Domain Name Server) system.

Click the Refresh button to update the security associations statistics.
