| <type> | all | Displays all connection types. | 
| optimized | Displays the total active connections optimized. A U appears next to the appliance name if the connection is in an unknown state. | |
| passthrough | Displays the total connections passed through, unoptimized. A U appears next to the appliance name if the connection is in an unknown state. | |
| opening | Displays the total half-opened active connections. A half-opened connection is a TCP connection in which the connection has not been fully established. Half-opened connections count toward the connection count-limit on the appliance because at any time they might become fully opened connections. If you are experiencing a large number of half-opened connections, consider deploying an appropriately sized appliance. A U appears next to the appliance name if the connection is in an unknown state. | |
| closing | Displays the total half-closed active connections. A half-closed connection is a TCP connection that closed on one side. The other side of the connection can still send data. These connections count toward the appliance connection count-limit. If you experience a large number of half-closed connections, consider deploying an appropriately sized appliance. A U appears next to the appliance name if the connection is in an unknown state. | |
| discarded | Displays discarded connections only. | |
| denied | Displays denied connections only. | |
| brief  | Specifies a brief report. | |
| full | Specifies a full report. | |
| filter <string> | filter application <app-name> | Filters the list according to the string or application. For example, to filter by IP address (such as srcip or destip), the filter string is the IP address. | |
| sort-by <state> | Sorts results by the following states:  •	state—Sorts connections by state. •	srcip—Sorts connections by source IP address. •	srcport—Sorts connections by source port. •	destip—Sorts connections by destination IP address. •	destport—Sorts connections by destination port. •	application—Sorts connections by application, such as HTTP. •	peerip—Sorts connections by peer IP address. •	peerport—Sorts connections by peer port. •	reduction—Sorts connections by percent of reduction in bandwidth. •	bytes_in—Sorts connections by total number of bytes in. •	bytes_out—Sorts connections by total number of bytes out. •	starttime—Sorts connections by start time. •	interface—Sorts connections by interface. | |
| path-selection [full] | Displays a list of connections using path selection. Specify the full option to show a detailed list. Path selection statistics are only reported if path selection is enabled. | |
| path-selection site-name <site-name> [full] | Displays a list of connections using path selection to the specified site.  | |
| path-selection uplink-name <uplink-name> [site-name <site-name>] [full] | Displays a list of connections using path selection over the specified uplink or, optionally, to the specified site over the uplink. | |
