SA Monitor

This chapter teaches you how to manage your SAs by using the SA Monitor in SMT menu 27.2.

1.1. Introduction

A Security Association (SA) is the group of security settings related to a specific VPN tunnel. This menu (shown next) displays active VPN connections.

When there is outbound traffic but no inbound traffic, the SA times out

automatically after two minutes. A tunnel with no outbound or inbound traffic is

"idle" and does not timeout.

2.Use the Disconnect function to cut off active connections.
