WAN Interfaces

The WAN Interfaces card provides a summary of the health, availability, usage, and compression details of the gateway's WAN interfaces. There are two primary types of WAN interfaces, LTE and wired uplinks. Both LTE and wired uplinks serve essential roles in WAN connectivity, with LTE offering mobility and rapid deployment, while wired connections provide stability, higher speeds, and enhanced security. By default, it displays WAN interfaces detail for the last three hours.

The WAN Interfaces card provides the following details:

Table 1: Gateway WAN Interfaces Card Parameters
Parameter	Description
Status	Displays the health status and usage of the WAN interface.
Availability	Indicates the WAN and VPN availability for the last three hours of the time period selected. The WAN bar chart represents an aggregated view of WAN interfaces availability. The VPN bar chart represents an aggregated view of VPN availability. For example, if the external network is reachable by the WAN or VPN, the respective bar is shown as green. The color of the bars represent the link health as follows: Poor—Indicated in red color when all the configured uplinks in the gateway are down. Fair—Indicated in amber color when one of the configured uplinks in the gateway is down. Unknown—Indicated in gray color when uplinks are not configured in the gateway. Good—Indicated in green color when all the configured uplinks in the gateway are up.
Usage	Displays the number of bytes transmitted and received by the WAN interfaces for the last three hours of the selected time period.
Compression	Displays the percentage of bandwidth saved over the selected time period.
