If the tunnel is up then you should be able to ping the IP address on the remote side.<br />
<br />
By default in the traffic monitor you should be able to see entries starting as:<br />
<br />
MM-header<br />
QM-header<br />
<br />
Please make sure that the settings are identical on both the ends; if so then the tunnel should come up. Please advice if you have done settings for manual gateway, tunnel and have added policies.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Forgot to mention, go to Setup-&gt;Logging in Policy Manager; click Advanced Diagnostics; change the level for VPN from default off to low/medium/high/advanced and then you should see logs in the traffic monitor and if you have configured logging then in the logs as well.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

I changed the VPN logging to high and check box for Display diagnostic messages. I &nbsp;believe the setting are the same on both sides.<br />
<br />
Looks good so far, I'll see what error I'm receving

Trying to setup a VPN tunnel with a co-location group, &nbsp;I have a Watchguard x550e running fireware v 9.0.<br />
<br />
I think I setup the tunnel correctly on the Watchguard, but I'm not sure how to test. &nbsp;the tech on the other end is asking me if the VPN is trying to connect but I do not see anything in the logs.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
