Dynamic IP Tunnels Workspace
The Dynamic IP tunnels workspace displays availability and performance
statistics for dynamic IP tunnels known to the IKE daemon and the TCP/IP stack.
Because of the large number of possible dynamic tunnels, this workspace has
a predefined default filter when initially opened. The table view displays
only those tunnels with a byte rate >= 2048.
Summary information is displayed in the Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate = 0 summary table and
the Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate >= 2048 summary table.
One of the ways to display the Dynamic IP Tunnels workspace is to right-click
the IPSec Tunnels Navigator item for a specific TCP/IP
stack, select Workspaces and select the Dynamic IP Tunnels link.
The Dynamic IP Tunnels Workspace contains the following views:
- Tunnel States: Shows the current number of dynamic
IP tunnels in different states for the given TCP/IP stack. The query for
this view uses the IPSec status table instead of the Dynamic IP tunnels table.
The graph is a bar chart where:
- Yellow represents the number of Active tunnels.
- Blue represents the number of Active Shadow (SWSA) tunnels.
- Pink represents the number of Pending or Incomplete tunnels.
- Green represents the number of Expired tunnels.
- Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate = 0 summary table: Provides
performance and configuration information for dynamic IP tunnels that are
active and had a byte rate of 0 in the most recent interval. A byte rate
of 0 could be indicative of a problem with the tunnel. Each row in the table
represents a single dynamic IP tunnel.
- Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate >= 2048 summary table: Provides
performance and configuration data about dynamic IP tunnels that had a byte
rate >= 2048 in the most recent interval. Each row in the table represents
a single dynamic IP tunnel.
Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate = 0 summary table
The Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate = 0 summary table provides performance
and configuration information for dynamic IP tunnels that are active and had
a byte rate of 0 in the most recent interval. A byte rate of 0 could be indicative
of a problem with the tunnel. Each row in the table represents a single dynamic
IP tunnel.
For a complete list of the attributes available in the Dynamic IP Tunnels
With Byte Rate = 0 summary table, and a brief description of each, see the Dynamic IP Tunnels Attributes help panel.
The following additional workspaces can be accessed by clicking the Link icon in the Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate = 0 summary
table:
- IKE Tunnels by Tunnel ID Workspace (default):
Navigates to the IKE Tunnels By Tunnel ID workspace and displays the IKE
tunnel used to activate the selected tunnel.
- Current IP Filters by Filter Rule Definition Name Workspace:
Navigates to the Current IP Filters By Filter Rule Definition Name workspace
and displays the IP filter used to activate the selected tunnel.
- Dynamic IP Tunnels by Destination Address Workspace:
Navigates to the Current IP Tunnels By Destination Address workspace and displays
tunnels that match the destination IP address you specified in the Destination Address dialog box. This dialog box prompts you for a destination
IP address that is compared to the currently active tunnels for a TCP/IP stack.
The IP address input field in the dialog box is filled in by default with
the value from the Destination Address column for the selected tunnel, but
you can change this value to be any IPv4 or IPv6 address found on this TCP/IP
stack. Specify an IP address that has the same IP address version as the selected
connection. If you specify an IPv6 address and the selected connection has
an IPv4 address, then the linked-to workspace will not find any tunnels to
display. With this address as input, this link navigates to the Dynamic IP
Tunnels By Destination Address workspace showing the IP tunnels that match
the destination IP address that you provided. Note that if the Destination Address column in the summary table is blank, the IP address
input field in the dialog box is filled with an IP address that has a value
of zero (0) for all subnets in the address.
Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate >= 2048 summary table
The Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate >= 2048 summary table provides performance
and configuration data about dynamic IP tunnels that had a byte rate >= 2048
in the most recent interval. Each row in the table represents a single dynamic
IP tunnel.
For a complete list of the attributes available in the Dynamic IP Tunnels
With Byte Rate >= 2048 summary table, and a brief description of each, see
the Dynamic IP Tunnels Attributes help panel.
The following additional workspaces can be accessed by clicking the Link icon in the Dynamic IP Tunnels With Byte Rate >= 2048
summary table:
- IKE Tunnels by Tunnel ID Workspace (default):
Navigates to the IKE Tunnels By Tunnel ID workspace and displays the IKE
tunnel used to activate the selected tunnel.
- Current IP Filters by Filter Rule Definition Name Workspace:
Navigates to the Current IP Filters By Filter Rule Definition Name workspace
and displays the IP filter used to activate the selected tunnel.
- Dynamic IP Tunnels by Destination Address Workspace:
Navigates to the Current IP Tunnels By Destination Address workspace and displays
tunnels that match the destination IP address you specified in the Destination Address dialog box. This dialog box prompts you for a destination
IP address that is compared to the currently active tunnels for a TCP/IP stack.
The IP address input field in the dialog box is filled in by default with
the value from the Destination Address column for the selected tunnel, but
you can change this value to be any IPv4 or IPv6 address found on this TCP/IP
stack. Specify an IP address that has the same IP address version as the selected
connection. If you specify an IPv6 address and the selected connection has
an IPv4 address, then the linked-to workspace will not find any tunnels to
display. With this address as input, this link navigates to the Dynamic IP
Tunnels By Destination Address workspace showing the IP tunnels that match
the destination IP address that you provided. Note that if the Destination Address column in the summary table is blank, the IP address
input field in the dialog box is filled with an IP address that has a value
of zero (0) for all subnets in the address.
