The VMC GovCloud console provides status and statistics for IPsec VPNs and L2VPN segments.

Status of VPN operations is reported on the VPN pages in the Networking & Security tab. Log messages about VPN operations are also sent to vRealize Log Insight Cloud, an optional SDDC add-on service. See Using the vRealize Log Insight Cloud Add-On and the vRealize Log Insight Cloud Documentation for more information.

  1. Log in to the VMC GovCloud console at https://www.vmc-us-gov.vmware.com/.
  2. Click Networking & Security > VPN.
  3. Click ROUTE BASED VPN, POLICY BASED VPN, or LAYER 2 VPN to list VPNs of the selected type.
    Take one of the following actions:
    • Click the Information icon to display a status message that provides more information about channel (IKE Phase 1 negotiation) and tunnel status.
    • Expand a VPN row to show VPN details, then click VIEW STATISTICS to display traffic statistics. You can retrieve aggregated status and statistics for all tunnels or for the tunnel used by the selected VPN (0.0.0.0/0).
