How can you access the detailed status of network traffic in SonicWall?

Accessing the detailed status of network traffic in a SonicWall firewall is accomplished through the Monitor tab. This tab is designed to provide real-time information about the network's operational status, including active sessions, bandwidth usage, and network performance metrics. It allows administrators to view detailed logs and statistics that can help in troubleshooting and monitoring network traffic effectively.

The Monitor tab presents data visualizations, such as graphs and charts, making it easier for users to analyze trends in network traffic. This feature is essential for maintaining the security and performance of the network, as it helps in identifying unusual patterns or potential issues.

In contrast, the Configuration tab is primarily used for setting up and modifying the firewall's settings, while the Reports tab focuses on generating historical reports based on network activity over time. The Dashboard tab provides an overall summary of system health and status but does not offer the in-depth traffic analysis that the Monitor tab provides.
