Support of VPN

Does anyone know if there are plans to monitor IPsec and/or GRE throughput for VPN-based networks? This would be a tremendous value.

Yes it does as the GRE tunnel is seen as just another interface on the router... However, you may not be able to get accurate status information on the interface provided u run GRE keepalive...

We have a VPN tunnel from a PIX to a Concentrator and I have looked at both using the list resources and do not see any vpn tunnel interfaces.

How does one go about getting this setup to monitor the traffic on a VPN tunnel?

Thanks

In order for SW to actually watch a tunnel, it needs to be a GRE tunnel.

If you're using an IPsec transform-set and a crypto-map, it doesn't create an interface since its magic is performed on the transit interface on traffic going out or coming in.

It's seems rare for any VPN servers to create tunnels for their ipsec traffic.

Add the following to your PIX config from global config mode:

snmp-server host inside x.x.x.x poll <----add IP of SNMP/ORION Server
snmp-server community ?????? <----whatever community string you use
snmp-server enable traps

management-access inside

Then add a new node in orion to track the e1 interface (internal network) of pix. This will let you track pix ezvpn to concentrator connections.
