The screen output provides information about the type of iSD (master or slave), IP address, network mask, and gateway address for the VPN Gateway you have specified (by host number).

To check general network settings related to the cluster to which you have connected, type the following command:

>># /cfg/sys/cur

The screen output provides information about the management IP address (MIP) of the NVG cluster, DNS servers, iSD hosts in the cluster, Syslog servers, and NTP servers.

To check if the VPN Gateway(s) is getting network traffic, type the following command:

>># /stats/dump

The screen output provides information about currently active request sessions, total completed request sessions, as well as SSL statistics for configured virtual SSL servers.

To check statistics for the local Ethernet network interface card, type the following command::

>># /info/ethernet

The screen output provides information about the total number of received and transmitted packets, the number of errors when receiving and transmitting packets, as well as the type of error such as dropped packets, overrun packets, malformed packets, packet collisions, and lack of carrier.

To check if a virtual server (on the Nortel Application Switch) is working, type the following command at any menu prompt:

>># ping <IP address of virtual server>

To capture and analyze TCP traffic sent from a virtual SSL server to the backend server, type the following command (where you replace "#" with the index number of the desired virtual SSL server):

>># /cfg/ssl/server #/trace/tcpdump
