|
CASAUDIT |
CASAUDIT is a NetWare console tool to display the audit trail records that were logged using the CSLIB facility in NetWare. Novell BorderManager uses the CSLIB facility for its audit logs and these records can be displayed using this utility. Use this tool to detect any errors while establishing connection to the remote VPN server, as well as synchronization errors after establishing the connection logged to the CSAUDIT database. You can view this database by loading CSAUDIT at the server console. |
|
CALLMGR |
CALLMGR is a NetWare utility used to monitor the status of the wide area network (WAN) connections or to start and stop WAN calls manually. Use this tool to see the inbound or outbound connection from or to a remote VPN server. If you cannot see the function, there is an issue with the VPTUNNEL at the CSL layer. Suggest that customers verify that the vptunnel.lan driver is loaded, without any error messages. An example of an error could be: A licensing issue caused the tunnel not to load. CALLMGR is available at the root of the product CD in the CALLMGR directory. |
|
TCPCON |
TCPCON is a TCP/IP console NetWare NLM™ that enables a network administrator to monitor server or router activity in the TCP/IP segments of the network. This tool can be used when the tunnel is up and synchronized. At this time, point all routing table entries should be correct. That is, to get to a remote site through the tunnel, the next hop should be the local VPN tunnel address. For more details on troubleshooting this, refer to TID # 10011169 on the Novell Support Web site. |
|
MONITOR |
MONITOR is the NetWare Console monitor tool, which allows an administrator to monitor various server information including the open connections, information volumes, system resources, the server parameters, CPU utilization, etc. This is very useful for monitoring the performance and the runtime status of the NetWare system and also of the loaded modules.This tool is useful for confirming that packets are going through the VPTUNNEL interface, and not the local LAN interface. If the routing table is set up incorrectly, the packets going to the remote destination might end up going out on the LAN card, and not the VPN interface. |
|
VPMON |
VPMON is the monitoring frontend for Novell BorderManager 3.9 VPN services. This runs as a NetWare Loadable Module™ and interfaces with the Novell Remote Manager (NRM) framework to provide the monitoring functionality for the VPN services from the browser using the NetWare Remote Console. VPMON is available at the root of the product CD in the VPN directory. |
|
VPN Upgrade Tool |
Use this tool when you are upgrading to Novell BorderManager 3.9 from Novell BorderManager 3.8, and VPN Configuration Migration has failed during the installation process. You can also use this utility when you have not selected the VPN Configuration Migration option during the Novell BorderManager 3.9 installation and want to migrate your existing VPN configuration now. |
|
Cache Volume Creation Tool |
Use this utility to create traditional volumes on Netware 6.5. Proxy cache directories require traditional NetWare volumes. |
|
VPN console options |
This tool is useful for narrowing issues with the IKE/IPSEC SA negotiation, and determining that the VPN site-to-site and client-to-site profiles are setup correctly. |
