■ SoftLife Time in KB—the number of kilobytes that the SA will carry before
the TMS zl Module begins renegotiating the SA (unless the soft lifetime in

Clearing SAs
Sometimes you might want to clear a VPN connection before the SA lifetime
expires. Clearing a connection closes the associated SA or tunnel on the
TMS zl Module. However, if the remote gateway or client initiates a new
connection, the module will reopen the tunnel.
Follow these steps to clear VPN connections:
1. In the PCM+ navigation tree, locate and select the TMS zl Module that has
the active IPsec VPN tunnel that you want to monitor.
2. In the main configuration window, click the TMS - VPN tab and then the
Connections tab.
3. Click the Manage VPN connections icon.
