ETEMS Troubleshooting

Viewing Port and Discard Status

The Status view displays information about local and remote port status, and discarded packets. Port status is available only for ETEPs. The details displayed for discarded packets varies by appliance model. See the user manuals for your appliance for more information.

To display status:

1In the Appliance Manager, select the target appliance in the Appliances view.

2On the View menu, click Status.

3Click Refresh or Clear. The Refresh button updates the discard counters. The behavior of the Clear button varies by appliance model. On the ETEP, the Clear button resets the discard counters on the appliance and in ETEMS.

Exporting SAD and SPD Files

Security policies are rules that tell an encryption appliance how to process different packets that it receives. Security policies are stored in the appliance’s security policy database (SPD).

A security association (SA) is a set of information that describes the particular security mechanisms that are used for secure communications between two appliances. The appliance’s security associations are contained in its security association database (SAD).

ETEMS can export the SPD and SAD from the ETEP to a CSV file to aid in policy troubleshooting. See the ETEP Installation Guide for more information about the information contained in the SPD and SAD.
