IPsec DoS Protection: Current State Entries

This monitor returns the number of state entries in the table. A state entry is a pair of IPv6 addresses that is authorized to pass through from a public to an internal interface.

This monitor returns the current number of per internal IP address rate limit queues for unauthenticated IKEv1, IKEv2, AuthIP, or ESP IPv6 packets. An unauthenticated packet is an IPsec packet without an associated state entry. A state entry is a pair of IPv6 addresses that is authorized to pass through from a public to an internal interface. Unauthenticated packets are placed in a separate queue for each destination IP address that is available on the internal interface.

This monitor returns the rate of bytes received using tunnel mode.

Service: Remote Access Connection Manager

This service manages dial-up and virtual private network (VPN) connections from this computer to the Internet or other remote networks. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Service: Remote Access Management service

This service logs, monitors, and manages DirectAccess and VPN connections to the server.

Remote Access Warning and Error Events

This service monitors Warning and Error events.

TCP Port: Direct Access

This monitor tests the ability of a DirectAccess service to accept incoming sessions. The Forefront UAG DirectAccess server is listening on TCP port 443 for traffic from IP-HTTPS-based DirectAccess clients.
