SA Monitor

This chapter teaches you how to manage your SAs by using the SA Monitor in SMT
menu 27.2.

45.1 Introduction

A Security Association (SA) is the group of security settings related to a specific VPN tunnel.
This menu (shown next) displays active VPN connections.

45.2 Using SA Monitor

1 Use the Refresh function to display active VPN connections.

2 Use the Disconnect function to cut off active connections.

Type 2 in Menu 27 - VPN/IPSec Setup, and then press [ENTER] to go to Menu 27.2 - SA
Monitor
.

Note: When there is outbound traffic but no inbound traffic, the
SA times out automatically after two minutes. A tunnel with no
outbound or inbound traffic is "idle" and does not timeout until
the SA lifetime period expires. See

the Keep Alive section

in

Chapter 14 VPN Screens

to have the ZyWALL renegotiate an

IPSec SA when the SA lifetime expires, even if there is no
traffic.
