VPN active sessionsActive VPN sessions are defined as remote client traffic and security gateway-to-security
gateway traffic. An SNMP Agent running on a security gateway is used to collect information
about these sessions. This information is private in nature, and can be viewed by VPNmanager
Console using its monitoring feature or common SNMP Management software running on
another computer. The agent sends the information in clear text. Use Active security gateway
Sessions for controlling the flow of session information. The VPN active session option is shown
in Figure 81.
