| It is often easier to grasp the meaning of a given set of data if it is presented in graphical form instead of text only. A valuable feature of PDM is its ability to present interface statistics graphically. The Interface Graphs panel enables an administrator to monitor per-interface statistics, such as packet counts and bit rates, for each enabled interface on the PIX Security Appliance.

The list of graphs available is the same for every interface. Each graph can be viewed as a line graph and in table form. Each graph can also be viewed with different time horizons.
