Hi All

I have a ASA 5510. on the firewall dashboard i have a firewall usage status window. I see a chart and some statistics. The first one says ESP traffic and i have one for http, https etc. i am wondering if the ESP traffic includes all the protocols in a VPN connection?

Thanks

Hi,

ESP would include IPSec phase2 traffic stats, both L2L and remote access.

Thx.. So the http, https and other protocols i see is my general local network traffic right? Is it possible to actually see what protocols and how much band-width each protocol is consuming in an ESP traffic?

Thats right.

You can check ESP traffic stats in greater details per tunnel group under monitoring.

yes i see that. under monitoring i have protocol statistic. When i choose that it just gives me IKE and IPSEC traffic. The rest are all 0%. Say for example i choose a vpn connection it tells me

IKE 25%

IPSEC 75% The rest are all zero. How can i classify the traffic. Again thx for your quick reply.

Well, under monitoring there is a place where you can see details like amount of traffic per tunnel, number of remote access users, etc.

Please check this link for further reference.
