System Resource
CPU Usage
This field displays what percentage of the VMG’s processing ability is currently used.
When this percentage is close to 100%, the VMG is running at full load, and the
throughput is not going to improve anymore. If you want some applications to have
more throughput, you should turn off other applications (for example, using QoS; see
Chapter 10 on page 141
).
Memory Usage
This field displays what percentage of the VMG’s memory is currently used. Usually, this
percentage should not increase much. If memory usage does get close to 100%, the
VMG is probably becoming unstable, and you should restart the device. See
Section 38.2
on page 263
, or turn off the device (unplug the power) for a few seconds.

when not using
the interface.
For the 3G interface, this field displays
Up
when using the interface and
NoDevice
when
no device is detected in any USB slot.
Rate
For the Ethernet WAN and LAN interface, this displays the port speed and duplex setting.
For the DSL interface, it displays the downstream and upstream transmission rate.
For the WLAN interface, it displays the maximum transmission rate or
