Monitoring Virtual Private Networks

The following sections describe the statistics used to monitor the operation of Novell^® BorderManager^® 3.8 Virtual Private Network (VPN). The VPN monitoring component is available through NetWare Remote Manager (NRM). This section contains information on the tasks a user can do using the NRM. For details on every field see the help on each page. The help is available on the upper right corner on each page and can be invoked using the (i) icon.

This section contains the following:

• Logging into NetWare Remote Manager
• Checking the VPN Real-Time Monitor
• Checking the Audit Log on a VPN Server
• Checking the Activity of a VPN Server

NOTE:  VPN Monitoring through NRM is available only for Novell BorderManager 3.8 servers. If your site-to-site setup has both Novell BorderManager 3.8 members and BMEE 3.6/NBM 3.7 members, then VPN Monitoring through NRM will only list the BMEE 3.6/NBM 3.7 members in the member list. You can monitor only the Novell BorderManager 3.8 members using the NRM VPN Monitoring utility. For monitoring Novell BorderManager 3.7 members, you still need to use NWAdmn. The Synchronize All Servers/Synchronize Selected Servers facility provided in VPN Monitoring through NRM synchronizes only the Novell BorderManager 3.8 members. For synchronizing the BMEE 3.6/NBM 3.7 members, you still need to use the Synchronize option available in NWAdmn.
