After Clicking on “Save & Apply” for both the routers we can try pinging the remote LAN IP to see if its reachable. Also using the command “ipsec status” in CLI will show the status of the IPsec Connection.

If you've followed all the steps presented above, your configuration should be finished. But as with any other configuration, it is always wise to test the setup in order to make sure that it works properly. To test an IPsec connection, you could use the command “ipsec status” in CLI. It will show the status of the IPsec Connection similar to the ones shown below. You can also '''ping''' the opposite instance's VPN IP address. To use a ping command, type '''ping <ip_address>''' and press the "Enter" key on your keyboard:
