Verifying the VPN Tunnel as Active
After configuring the VPN Client, you can verify that a secure tunnel is active and sending data
securely across the connection. You can verify the connection by verifying the type of icon displayed
in the system tray near the system clock.
Open a command prompt window and ping an address on the remote network. The icon should turn
green indicating an active connection.
Verifying the VPN Client Icon in the System Tray
The SonicWALL VPN Client icon is displayed in the System Tray if you are running a Windows
operating system. The icon changes to reflect the current status of your communication over the
VPN tunnel.
