Your SDDC NSX Manager provides status and statistics for IPsec VPNs and L2VPN segments.

Status of VPN operations is reported in the Status column of the NSX Manager VPN grid. Log messages about VPN operations are also sent to VMware Aria Operations for Logs, an optional SDDC integrated service. See Using the VMware Aria Automation Cloud Service and the VMware Aria Operations for Logs Documentation for more information.

  2. Click Inventory > SDDCs, then pick an SDDC card and click VIEW DETAILS.
  3. Click OPEN NSX MANAGER and log in with the NSX Manager Admin User Account shown on the SDDC Settings page. See SDDC Network Administration with NSX Manager.
    You can also use the VMware Cloud Console Networking & Security tab for this workflow.
  4. On the VPN page, click Route Based, Policy Based, or Layer 2 to list VPNs of the selected type.

    • Click the Information icon Information icon to display a status message that provides more information about channel (IKE Phase 1 negotiation) and tunnel status.
    • Expand a 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). When viewing aggregated statistics, you can click View More in the Stats column to see a list of error statistics.
    • Click the Refresh icon Refresh icon to refresh tunnel statistics. All VPN statistics are reset to 0 when the tunnel is disabled or re-enabled.
