Viewing System Information

The Maintenance - System Information page displays system information specific to this appliance.

The Maintenance - System Information page summarizes the following information:

Field	Definition/Content
Hostname	The name assigned to the appliance when using the initial configuration wizard. To edit it later, you can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) and the hostname command. The hostname is limited to a maximum of 24 characters.
Appliance ID	A network-wide unique number between 1 and 65534, assigned automatically during initial configuration.
Model	The appliance’s model number. For example, NX-7600 or NX-5600.
System Status	The options are Normal and Bypass. • When the status is Normal, traffic goes through tunnels, as configured. • Bypass refers to hardware bypass. If there is a major problem with the appliance hardware, software, or power, all traffic goes through the appliance without any processing. Additionally, you can manually put the appliance into Bypass as an aid to troubleshooting.
Uptime	The time elapsed since the last reboot. For example, 3d 3h 28m 28s means “3 days, 3 hours, 28 minutes, and 28 seconds”.
Date/Time	The local date and time at the appliance’s location, specified by time zone.
Release	The currently running software version of the Appliance Manager.
Serial Number	The serial number of the appliance hardware.
Mode	Whether the appliance is configured for Bridge (in-line) or Router (out-of-path) mode.
Appliance IP	The IP address of this Silver Peak appliance
Disk Encryption	Yes means that Network Memory is encrypted; No means that it’s not. Selecting either enforces the choice from that moment until you change it, in which case you’d have some network memory encrypted and some not. Although we don’t recommend that you do this, the Appliance Manager manages both seamlessly.
Auto Tunnel	Whether or not the appliance is configured to create tunnels if there is network connectivity and active flows. The default is no.
Current Network Memory Media Type	This field displays for virtual appliances.
