interfaces). An example of this display is shown below.

List all active IKE SAs

An IKE Security Association (SA) is an entity that defines the encryption methods and other

parameters that will be used for data flowing from one end of an IPsec tunnel to the other. SAs are

set up after the two ends of a VPN tunnel use the Internet Exchange Protocol (IKE) to agree how

they will communicate. A single SA applies to data flowing in only one direction and for that reason

an IPsec tunnel usually has two SAs set up.

An example of the SA status display is shown below.
