IKE Tunnels Statistics Workspace
The IKE Tunnels Statistics workspace displays cumulative availability and
performance statistics for all of the IKE tunnels known by the IKE daemon
for a TCP/IP stack.
To display the IKE Tunnels Statistic workspace, right-click the IPSec Tunnels Navigator item for a specific TCP/IP stack, select Workspaces, and select the IKE Tunnels
Statistics link.
Summary information is displayed in the IKE Tunnels Statistics summary table.
The IKE Tunnels Statistics Workspace contains the following views:
- Protected Byte Rate: Shows the rate at which data
is flowing through all of the IKE tunnels on the stack. Use this view to
determine which tunnels are being used the most. The graph is a bar chart
where:
- Yellow represents the number of bytes per minute flowing through outbound
IKE tunnels.
- Blue represents the number of bytes per minute flowing through inbound
IKE tunnels.
- Total IKE Tunnel Activations: Provides a snapshot
of the cumulative number of successful and failed IKE tunnel activations since
the IKE daemon was started. The bars on the graph differentiate between IKE
tunnels that were initiated locally and IKE tunnels that were initiated remotely.
The graph is a bar chart where:
- Yellow represents the number of Successful Local tunnel activations.
- Pink represents the number of Failed Local tunnel activations.
- Blue represents the number of Successful Remote tunnel activations.
- Green represents the number of Failed Remote tunnel activations.
- IKE Tunnel States: Provides a snapshot of the state
of the all the IKE tunnels known by the IKE daemon. The graph is a bar chart
where:
- Yellow represents the number of tunnels that are Active.
- Blue represents the number of tunnels that are In Progress (either pending
or in negotiation).
- Pink represents the number of tunnels that are Expired.
- IKE Key Message Statistics: Provides statistics
about key exchange messages that are used to activate IKE tunnels between
security endpoints. High number of key exchange messages could indicate that
a problem exists. The graph is a bar chart where:
- Yellow represents the number of key exchange messages that were Retransmitted.
- Blue represents the number of key exchange messages that were Replayed.
- Pink represents the number of key exchange messages that were Invalid.
A high number of retransmitted or replayed messages over several collection
intervals may indicate a problem in the network between the two security endpoints.
Invalid messages may indicate an attack or an incompatibility between the
security endpoints.
- IKE Tunnels Statistics summary table: Provides
performance and configuration data about all IKE tunnels known by the IKE
daemon for a TCP/IP stack.
IKE Tunnels Statistics summary table
The IKE Tunnels Statistics summary table provides performance and configuration
data about all IKE tunnels known by the IKE daemon for a TCP/IP stack. For
a complete list of the attributes available in the IKE Tunnels Statistics
summary table, and a brief description of each, see the IPSec Status Attributes help
panel.
The following additional workspaces can be accessed by clicking the Link icon in the IKE Tunnels Statistics summary table:
- IKE Tunnels Workspace (default):
Displays availability and performance statistics for IKE tunnels known to
the IKE daemon for a specific stack.
- IKE Tunnels with Byte Rate < 1024 Workspace: Displays
availability and performance statistics for IKE tunnels with a byte rate of
less than 1024 bytes known to the IKE daemon for a specific stack.
