    Review the following VPN peer security association statistics:
    Peer

    Lists peer IDs for peers sharing SA for tunnel interoperability. When a peer sees a sensitive packet, it creates a secure tunnel and sends the packet through the tunnel to its destination.

    Version

    Displays each peer's IKE version used for auto IPSec secure authentication with the IPSec gateway and other controllers or service platforms.

    State

    Lists the state of each listed peer's SA (whether established or not).

    Lifetime

    Displays the lifetime for the duration of each listed peer IPSec VPN security association. Once the set value is exceeded, the association is timed out.

    Local IP Address

    Displays each listed peer's local tunnel end point IP address. This address represents an alternative to an interface IP address.

  7. Select a IKE peer configuration and click Clear to remove the peer from the table.
  8. Select Clear All to clear each peer of its current status and begin a new data collection.
  9. Select Refresh to update the screen's statistics counters to their latest values.
