System Diagnostics

A few system diagnostics can be performed on the VPN Gateway.

Installed Certificates and Virtual SSL Servers

To view the currently installed certificates, type the following command:

>># /info/certs

To view detailed information about a specific certificate, access the Certificate menu and specify the desired certificate by its index number:

>># /cfg/cert

Enter certificate number: (1-) <certificate number by index>

>> Certificate 1# show

To view the configured virtual SSL servers, type the following command:

>># /info/servers

The screen output provides information about which certificate (indicated by certificate index number) is used by each configured SSL server.

Network Diagnostics

To check if the VPN Gateway is able to contact configured gateways, routes, DNS servers, authentication servers, and IP addresses/domain names specified in group links, use the following command:

>># /maint/chkcfg

The screen output provides information about each configured item (e.g. gateway, DNS server etc.) and shows whether the network test was successful or not. Besides checking the connection, the method (e.g. ping) for checking each item is displayed.

To check various network settings for a specific VPN Gateway, access the iSD Host menu by typing the following commands:

>># /cfg/sys/host

Enter iSD host number: (1-) <iSD host by index number>

>> iSD Host 1# cur
