Special Forums IP Networking Best tool to monitor VPN IPSEC Tunneling Post 302930476 by val riverwalk on Sunday 4th of January 2015 06:25:09 PM

Anything in the logs? Run a continuous ping from site A to site B. Does it drop periodically and then restart? Usually when an IPSEC tunnel drops, you'll see the handshake details if you have logging or debugging enabled. If the problem goes AWAY while running a continuous ping, then it may just be timing out for inactivity. As far as monitoring goes, consider Nagios to monitor the connection for drops. As an aside - I like a windows app called "ServersAlive" for simple monitoring of services/links/uptime... not terribly expensive, and great red light/green light online status that the helpdesk staff appreciates.

RACOONCTL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					      RACOONCTL(8)

NAME
racoonctl -- racoon administrative control tool SYNOPSIS
racoonctl [opts] reload-config racoonctl [opts] show-schedule racoonctl [opts] show-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec] racoonctl [opts] get-sa-cert [inet|inet6] src dst racoonctl [opts] flush-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec] racoonctl [opts] delete-sa saopts racoonctl [opts] establish-sa [-w] [-n remoteconf] [-u identity] saopts racoonctl [opts] vpn-connect [-u identity] vpn_gateway racoonctl [opts] vpn-disconnect vpn_gateway racoonctl [opts] show-event racoonctl [opts] logout-user login DESCRIPTION
racoonctl is used to control racoon(8) operation, if ipsec-tools was configured with adminport support. Communication between racoonctl and racoon(8) is done through a UNIX socket. By changing the default mode and ownership of the socket, you can allow non-root users to alter racoon(8) behavior, so do that with caution. The following general options are available: -d Debug mode. Hexdump sent admin port commands. -l Increase verbosity. Mainly for show-sa command. -s socket Specify unix socket name used to connecting racoon. The following commands are available: reload-config This should cause racoon(8) to reload its configuration file. show-schedule Unknown command. show-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec] Dump the SA: All the SAs if no SA class is provided, or either ISAKMP SAs, IPsec ESP SAs, IPsec AH SAs, or all IPsec SAs. Use -l to increase verbosity. get-sa-cert [inet|inet6] src dst Output the raw certificate that was used to authenticate the phase 1 matching src and dst. flush-sa [isakmp|esp|ah|ipsec] is used to flush all SAs if no SA class is provided, or a class of SAs, either ISAKMP SAs, IPsec ESP SAs, IPsec AH SAs, or all IPsec SAs. establish-sa [-w] [-n remoteconf] [-u username] saopts Establish an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA. The optional -u username can be used when establishing an ISAKMP SA while hybrid auth is in use. The exact remote block to use can be specified with -n remoteconf. racoonctl will prompt you for the password associated with username and these credentials will be used in the Xauth exchange. Specifying -w will make racoonctl wait until the SA is actually established or an error occurs. saopts has the following format: isakmp {inet|inet6} src dst {esp|ah} {inet|inet6} src/prefixlen/port dst/prefixlen/port {icmp|tcp|udp|gre|any} vpn-connect [-u username] vpn_gateway This is a particular case of the previous command. It will establish an ISAKMP SA with vpn_gateway. delete-sa saopts Delete an SA, either an ISAKMP SA, IPsec ESP SA, or IPsec AH SA. vpn-disconnect vpn_gateway This is a particular case of the previous command. It will kill all SAs associated with vpn_gateway. show-event Listen for all events reported by racoon(8). logout-user login Delete all SA established on behalf of the Xauth user login. Command shortcuts are available: rc reload-config ss show-sa sc show-schedule fs flush-sa ds delete-sa es establish-sa vc vpn-connect vd vpn-disconnect se show-event lu logout-user RETURN VALUES
The command should exit with 0 on success, and non-zero on errors. FILES
