The Xlates subcategory includes one accessible blueprint alleged Xlate Utilization.

This blueprint shows the absolute abode translations currently in use on the firewall.

The Perfmon subcategory includes several graphs as follows:

 AAA Perfmon Displays the cardinal of authentication, authorization,

and accounting requests beatific to an AAA server.

 FixUp Perfmon Displays the cardinal of packets for cartage processed

by the HTTP, FTP, or TCP fixup routines.

 Web Perfmon Displays the cardinal of URL requests candy by the

PIX firewall and the cardinal of Websense requests fabricated by the PIX

the PIX firewall.

The graphs characterize Fixup Perfmon,Web Perfmon, Affiliation Perfmon, and

Xlate Perfmon.These graphs can advice firewall administrators accept traffic

trends and accurate I/O through the firewall. In the examples apparent in Figure

9.82, the firewall is active in a no-NAT configuration.This is axiomatic based on

the bulk of cartage in the Xlate Perfmon blueprint (there is none!).
