IPSec Measurements


The values on the IPSec tab report successful and failed IKE operations when Dynamic IPSec is used to protect control or bearer plane traffic.

Measurement Values

In the default view, the Reports tab displays the Summary view, which summarizes the measurements for the test session. If your test includes multiple test cases, you can view the report for a single test case by changing the report view...

Unless otherwise noted, cumulative values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated since the start of the test, and per-interval values report the number of occurrences or rates calculated during the interval. You can view either by changing the measurement values...

Elapsed Time is the first measurement on every tab. It reports the amount of time between the start of the test and the end of the report interval.

Test Iteration reports the current iteration in a repeating test session. It is only displayed when a Number of Iterations is defined for the test session.

IKE Phase I Measurements

The following measurements report the progress of IKE Phase I and the negotiation of ISAKMP SAs between the IPSec peers. IKE Phase I is not performed when the IKE mode is Pre-Provisioned.

IKE Phase II Measurements

The following measurements report the progress of IKE Phase II and the negotiation of IPSec SAs between the IPSec peers. IKE Phase II is not performed when the IKE mode is Pre-Provisioned.

Tunnel Deactivation

The following counters report the Delete requests sent and received by the local peer. Each peer sends a Delete request containing a list of SAs to be deleted when one or more tunnels is deactivated.

Informational Exchanges

The following counters report the number of Informational Exchange messages sent and received by the local peer. An Informational Exchange can contain a Notification, Delete, or Configuration payload.

EAP Measurements

IKE Error Notifications

The following counters report IKE errors, by notification type, received from the remote peer during SA negotiation.
