Each row represents a single a host (unique IP address) that has been seen on any LAN interface.


== Current Hosts ==
As NG Firewall scans and processes network traffic, the platform and many of the apps will save information about a host on the network.
This information is stored in the "Host Table" and the Hosts view provides a view into the host table.


The ''Current Hosts'' tab shows all the currently known (local) hosts and all the information about them.

Many applications store information about the various hosts on the network. For example, If a user logs into Captive Portal, the Captive Portal will store the associated username in the host table so other applications know this information about this hosts. Each row show a given host and all the information currently stored for that host (IP).
The host view by default shows all hosts and some basic information about each session.
