currentChannels
Module: IPSEC-TUN-MON-MIB
OID (symbolic): IPSEC-TUN-MON-MIB::currentChannels
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.3.1010.1.1.2.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: Gauge32
Access: read-only
Description: The total number of channels currently in existence in the entity.
This is the same as the number of rows in the channel table, whether there are IKE SAs for each row or not.
What is currentChannels?
The live count of IPsec channels (IKE-level peer sessions) that currently exist on the device, equal to the number of rows in the channel table regardless of whether each row has an active IKE SA yet. An admin polls this gauge to see how many VPN peer relationships are open right now, e.g. watching it fall to 0 after a peer link goes down.
Examples
