Output Fields

Table 1 lists the output fields for the show services stateful-firewall flows command. Output fields are listed in the approximate order in which they appear.

Table 1: show services stateful-firewall flows Output Fields

Field Name

Field Description

Interface

Name of the interface.

Service set

Name of a service set. Individual empty service sets are not displayed. If no service set has any flows, a flow table header is displayed for each service set.

Flow Count

Number of flows in a session.

Flow or Flow Prot

Protocol used for this flow.

Source

Source prefix of the flow in the format source-prefix:port. For ICMP flows, port information is not displayed.

Dest

Destination prefix of the flow. For ICMP flows, port information is not displayed.

State

Status of the flow:

  • Drop—Drop all packets in the flow without response.

  • Forward—Forward the packet in the flow without looking at it.

  • Reject—Drop all packets in the flow with response.

  • Watch—Inspect packets in the flow.

Dir

Direction of the flow: input (I) or output (O). For any configured stateful firewall rule, the reverse flow is dynamically created, so you will see an input and an output flow.

Frm count

Number of frames in the flow. If this value is zero, then that flow does not yet exist.

Sample Output

show services stateful-firewall flows

On the MX Series router, both input (I) and output (O) flow entries appear, even if traffic only flows in one direction. This applies to both NAT and non-NAT cases.
