# Encryption Connection Table

Provides status and statistics for each encryption connection.

Connection index

Protected address

Unprotected address

Connection status

Packets encrypted

Packets decrypted

Packets dropped

Local time established

Algorithm type

# Connection Index

A number identifying each encrypted connection.

# Protected Address

The IP address for protected mode (secure mode).

# Unprotected Address

The IP address of the unprotected node (the insecure node) in the network.

# Connection Status

The current status or type of the encryption connection, one of:

Pending Connection

Open Connection

Exchange Keys

Bad Connection

Pending and Bad connections may be removed after four minutes of inactivity. Open (active) connections may be removed if the encryption timeout interval elapses without their having transmitted or received traffic.

# Packets Encrypted

The number of packets encrypted for this connection.

# Packets Decrypted

The number of packets decrypted for this connection.

# Packets Dropped

The number of packets dropped for this connection. Packets are dropped when the protected entity and the unprotected entity fail to establish encryption keys. If this value increases, verify that encryption keys are properly configured.

# Local Time Established

The time at which the connection was established or re-established, expressed as a value of system up time.

# Algorithm Type

The type of encryption algorithm used for this connection. Supported algorithm types include:

56-bit DES with 64-bit cipher feedback

56-bit DES with 8-bit cipher feedback

40-bit DES with 64-bit cipher feedback

40-bit DES with 8-bit cipher feedback

A single router can support more than one algorithm type at the same time.
