How to Check VPN Connections

You can test connectivity and view VPN status information on the FVS114 (see also “VPN Tunnel

Control” on page 5-26).

Testing the Gateway A FVS114 LAN and the Gateway B LAN

1. Using our example, from a PC attached to the FVS114 on LAN A, on a Windows PC click the

Start button on the taskbar and then click Run.

2. Type ping -t 172.23.9.1, and then click OK.

3. This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the LAN interface of Gateway B. Within two

minutes, the ping response should change from timed out to reply.

4. At this point the connection is established.

5. To test connectivity between the FVS114 Gateway A and Gateway B WAN ports, follow these

steps:

a. Using our example, log in to the FVS114 on LAN A, go to the main menu Maintenance

section and click the Diagnostics link.

b. To test connectivity to the WAN port of Gateway B, enter 22.23.24.25, and then click

Ping.

c. This causes a ping to be sent to the WAN interface of Gateway B. Within two minutes, the

ping response should change from timed out to reply. You may have to run this test several

times before you get the reply message back from the target FVS114.

d. At this point the connection is established.

Note: If you want to ping the FVS114 as a test of network connectivity, be sure the FVS114 is

configured to respond to a ping on the Internet WAN port by checking the check box seen in

Figure 4-2 on page 4-4. However, to preserve a high degree of security, you should turn off

this feature when you are finished with testing.

6. To view the FVS114 event log and status of Security Associations, follow these steps:

a. Go to the FVS114 main menu VPN section and click the VPN Status link.

b. The log screen displays a history of the VPN connections, and the IPSec SA and IKE SA

tables will report the status and data transmission statistics of the VPN tunnels for each

policy.
