Manually renews the keys for all policies, and refreshes policy lifetimes for Bypass

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Drop policies. Renew the keys manually only if you suspect your key security

 

 

 

 

 

has been compromised, and wait at least 10 minutes before manually renewing keys

 

 

 

 

 

again. Because the PEP maintains the previous keys for up to five minutes to prevent

 

 

 

 

 

traffic interruptions, if you renew keys manually the number of keys and security

 

 

 

 

 

associations (SAs) on each PEP doubles for a period of 5 to 10 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

Checks your policies for conformance to the policy rules prior to deployment. This

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tool performs the same consistency checks on policies that are performed during a

 

 

 

 

 

deploy operation. It differs from the deployment verification in that it does not check

 

 

 

 

 

communication links to the ETKMS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

ETPM Status Refresh Interval

By default, automatic status refresh is disabled. You can refresh the status manually by clicking the Refresh Status button. If you prefer, you can have ETPM automatically check the status of the PEPs in deployed policies. The default refresh interval is five minutes and can be changed in one minute increments from 1 to 60 minutes.

To enable or disable automatic status checking:

1From the ETPM main menu bar, click Edit > Preferences.

2In the Preferences window, expand the ETPM listing and select Status.

3Click Enable automatic status refresh to have ETPM automatically check the status of the PEPs, or clear the check box to turn off the feature.

4If you enabled automatic status checking, enter the interval in minutes in the Refresh Interval box.

5Click Apply.
