VPN Diagnostic Report Details

The BOVPN Diagnostic Report includes these sections:

Conclusion

This is the complete report summary and can include information about actions you can take to resolve any issues identified by the report. For each tunnel route, the report shows whether the tunnel route was established, whether traffic was detected after the report started, and error messages related to the tunnel. Some error messages include information about what you can do to correct a problem with the BOVPN tunnel.

Gateway Summary

This is a summary of the gateway configuration and each configured gateway endpoint.

Tunnel Summary

This is a summary of the tunnel configuration for all tunnels that use the selected gateway. This includes both active and inactive tunnels.
