VPN > IPsec > VPN Connections

On this window you can view your IKE SA Security Associations and your IPsec VPN tunnels. You cannot configure settings on this window.

 

IPsec VPN tunnels may not appear in the window until traffic passes through the tunnel. Click View Status for the tunnel's IKE SA. If the IKE SA state is SA_Mature, the tunnel is open and ready for traffic.

Clear VPN Connections

Sometimes you might want to clear VPN connections before the SA lifetime expires. Clearing a connection closes the associated SA or tunnel on the TMS zl Module. However, if the remote gateway or client initiates a new connection, the module will reopen the tunnel.

If you want to refresh the window without flushing the connections, click the VPN Connections tab.

Clear the IKE SAs

Click Flush under IKE Security Associations.

 

Clear the IPsec SAs

Click Flush under IPsec VPN Tunnels.

The two figures above show one VPN connection: the IKE SA plus the inbound and outbound IPsec SAs. Click View Status for an IPsec SA to see the direction. Also, because the IKE SA is needed only to set up the IPsec SAs, the IKE SA may eventually disappear, leaving the IPsec SAs in place.
