IP Network Status
The connection status between the connector and IPCore is shown by the VPN Agent statuses. It is updated by IPCore depending on the incoming and outgoing packet.
It is displayed on every IP Network details page as illustrated below. This page is accessible by clicking an IP Network in the IP Networks list.
The Status information area provides two types of information:
- VPN downlink: The status of the VPN Agent for the downlink, with its timestamp.
- VPN uplink: The status of the VPN Agent for the uplink, with its timestamp.
Uplink and Downlink Statuses​
The uplink and downlink processing use the status messages to inform you on the state of the VPN Agent.
They are combined with a color chip that is either grey, green or red.
| Chip | Status |
|---|---|
 | Never connected |
 | Connected |
 | Disconnected |
Hover the color chip to display the status.
Default Status​
By default, until the data exchange runs for the first time, the VPN Agents have a grey chip (status "never connected") and a null timestamp.
Status Lifespan​
The status of VPN Agent is computed in Acklio IPCore and updated periodically (30s) in Acklio IPCore CDP through a gRPC service.
The status of VPN Agent never expires.
Status Update​
The VPN Agent status is updated to Connected when it starts to forward some traffic (uplink and downlink).
It is updated to Disconnected when it is stopped.
The status reported at timestamp is updated when the VPN Agent status is received in acklio IPCore CDP.
