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:
o IPSec is disabled.
o The tunnel is disabled.
o The 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.
