John,

Use an extended ping from the unencrypted sides of your VPN. You can also
use the following after clearing the relevant counters:

sh cry ips sa

output below:

I have snipped the rest of it, but you can see what the LOGICAL interface
shows.

1603#ping
Protocol [ip]: 192.168.1.245
% Unknown protocol - "192.168.1.245", type "ping ?" for help

r1603#

If you do an extended ping of ten packets or more, then you can prove the
VPN is OK. Don't forget that the first one or two may fail due to IKE setup
etc.

Do trace route if you see only source and destination hop than your vpn is
working .

I have the following:

2 - 1720 routers with T1 WIC's and VPN modules
    Upgraded IOS's for the VPN modules
    Upgraded flash and ram to accommodate VPN
    Made a crossover cable between the two routers.
    100 User VPN client software.

Problem:

I have verified that routing is working. However, I have never worked
on VPN.

Solution Sought:

Just as we use "ping" to verify connectivity; How do I verify that VPN
is working? What are some simple tests to determine it is working in a
lab environment?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kindest Regards,
