To display information about your IPSec tunnel, pull down the Status menu and choose Statistics. Then click the Tunnel Details tab. The VPN Client shows IP security information, listing the IPSec statistics for this VPN tunnel to the private network.
The statistics are the following:
Connection Entry--The name of the profile you are using to establish the connection.
Received--The total amount of data received after a secure packet has been successfully decrypted.
Sent--The total amount of encrypted data transmitted through the tunnel.
Encryption--The data encryption method for traffic through this tunnel. Encryption makes data unreadable if intercepted.
Authentication--The data, or packet, authentication method used for traffic through this tunnel. Authentication verifies that no one has tampered with data.
Packets encrypted--The total number of secured data packets transmitted out the port.
Packets decrypted--The total number of data packets received on the port.
Packets discarded--The total number of data packets that the VPN Client rejected because they did not come from the secure VPN device gateway.
Packets bypassed--The total number of data packets that the VPN Client did not process because they did not need to be encrypted. Local ARPs and DHCP fall into this category.
Transparent Tunneling--The status of tunnel transparent mode in the VPN Client, either active or inactive.
Local LAN Access--Whether access to your local area network while the tunnel is active is enabled or disabled. (For information on configuring this feature, see "<paranum><paratext>".)
Compression--Whether data compression is in effect as well as the type of compression in use. Currently, LZS is the only type of compression that the VPN Client supports.
To display routing information, pull down the Status menu and choose Statistics. Then click the Route Details tab.
On this display, the columns show the following types of information.
The Local LAN Routes box shows the network addresses of the networks you can access on your local LAN while you are connected to your organization's private network through an IPSec tunnel. You can access up to 10 networks on the client side of the connection. A network administrator at the central site must configure the networks you can access from the client side. For information on configuring Local LAN Access on the VPN 3000 Concentrator, refer to VPN Client Administrator Guide, Chapter 1.
The Secured Routes box shows the following information:
Network--The IP address of the remote private network with which this VPN Client has a security association (SA).
