ETPM and ETKMS Troubleshooting

Statistics

For ETEP PEPs, you can use the Statistics view in the ETEMS Appliance Manager to display encryption statistics and packet counters. This includes information about packet encryptions and decryptions. The exact statistics displayed vary depending on the model of the PEP that you select. You can also use the Status view to see information about discards.

To view statistics:

1In the Appliance Manager perspective, select the target PEP.

2Click View > Statistics or View > Status.

Changing the Date and Time

Ordinarily, all EncrypTight components should be synchronized with an NTP server. However, if an NTP server becomes unavailable or unreachable for a significant length of time, the time on your PEPs can drift out of sync significantly. The best option in this situation is to select a different, reachable NTP server.

If this is not possible, you can temporarily disable the SNTP client on the PEPs and change the time and date on the PEPs from the ETEMS Appliance Manager. You can change the time and date for a specific PEP or multiple PEPs. If the selected PEPs are ETEP PEPs or include a mix of appliance models, enter the date and time relative to UTC.

CAUTION

Because time synchronization with an NTP server is critical to the EncrypTight system, this procedure should only be used for troubleshooting purposes and only as a temporary fix. For complete information on using this feature, see “Changing the Date and Time” on page 120. Note that you must disable the SNTP client first. This operation fails if the SNTP client is enabled.

To disable the SNTP client on multiple PEPs:

1Select the PEPs that you want to change.

2Select Edit > Multiple Configurations > SNTP Client.

3Clear the Enable checkbox.

4Click Apply.

5Push the new configuration to the PEPs.

To change the date and time on multiple PEPs:

1Select the PEPs that you want to change.

2Select Edit > Date.

3Enter the date and time in the appropriate boxes.

4Click Apply.

ETEP PEP Policy and Key Information

In addition to exporting various logs from ETEP PEPs, you can export the Security Policy Database (SPD) and the Security Association Database (SAD). The SPD stores information on each policy
