Status

Tunnels that use Automatic Keying (IKE) will have one of four states in the Status field. The states include the following:

Down indicates that the tunnel is not being negotiated. This may be due to the following reasons:

oIPSec is disabled.

oThe tunnel is disabled.

oThe tunnel could not be loaded due to misconfiguration.

Negotiating Phase 1 indicates that IPSec is negotiating Phase 1 to establish the tunnel. Aggressive or Main mode packets (depending on tunnel configuration) are transmitted during this stage of the negotiation process.

Negotiating Phase 2 indicates that IPSec is negotiating Phase 2 to establish the tunnel. Quick mode packets are transmitted during this stage of the negotiation process.

Running indicates that the tunnel has been established.

Tunnels that use Manual Keying will either be in a Down or Running state.

For tunnels that use Automatic Keying, further negotiation details can be seen by clicking on the status. A window similar to the following will be displayed.
