How to Display Live Connections and Recent Connections

How to Display Live Connections and Recent Connections

Live Connections allow you to view and filter real-time information of the traffic that passes through the Barracuda CloudGen Firewall Site or Edge Service, whereas Recent Connections allow you to view and filter closed sessions of an Edge Service or a Site. TCP sessions usually end with the FIN-FINACK-ACK sequence. Resets are terminated with Session idle timeout or Last ACK timeout. For the stateless UDP and ICMP protocols, "pseudo" sessions are created that usually end with a timeout.
