Measures reported by PEPVPNProfStTest

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet. To establish the secure connection and to reduce manual effort, administrators use VPN profiles. The VPN profiles include a wide range of necessary connection settings and security settings that are required for the end-users to stay connected to the network via the VPN tunnel. Therefore, it is imperative that the administrators should periodically check if the VPN profile is authenticated or connected or routed properly. Administrators can easily do this check using the PEPVPNProfStTest test!

This test auto-discovers the VPN profiles on the target Peplink WAN Router and reports the current status of each VPN profile. When the users complain about the issues in establishing connection using the VPN profiles, administrators can use this test to figure out if the VPN profile is stuck in the authentication process or tunnel processing or routing for longer duration. By knowing this detail, administrators can initiate necessary actions to prevent the delay in processing the user requests and improve the user experience.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each VPN profile on the target router.

Descriptor of the test : VPN profile
