Troubleshooting virtual circuits

If you are unsure whether traffic is being processed properly by the virtual circuitlogical definitions that partition a a physical network circuit and used to determine what traffic passes through it and how much or the policies within your virtual circuit, it is best to use real time monitoring to determine if traffic is hitting your virtual circuit as you would expect.

  1. Go to Monitor > Real Time > Conversations.
  2. Select the Show Policies checkbox at the top of the screen. The screen refreshes to group the conversations by virtual circuit and policy.
  3. Look at the traffic falling under your virtual circuit to decide if the correct traffic is in there.
  4. If there is traffic that you were expecting that is not there, look in other virtual circuit groups to see where you expected traffic is.
  5. If your traffic is falling into the wrong virtual circuit, check the definition of the affected virtual circuits and ensure the most specific virtual circuit is higher in the policy tree.
