Meraki MX Auto VPN in a passthrough / VPN Concentrator mode

We have configured Auto VPN Site A - DC (VPN Concentrator) - Site B

When we enable auto VPN we can ping from Site A to Site B and see traffic on the DC ( VPN Concentrator) showing traffic from Site A to Site B subnets under VPN Status.

 

However, we can't see the VPN tunnel.  Were do we see this, so when the tunnel is formed i should be able to see it and when the traffic is stopped Tunnel should be gone.

 

If anyone can let me know how or were can see this or this option is not available on Meraki, we are able to see this on Fortinet.

Go to VPN Status.

We have already checked that.  So if we check Site A VPN Status it only shows DC ( VPN Concentrator) but not the Site B to which the tunnel is built to and traffic flowing.

If you look just below the image I sent, you'll see the sites with which the VPN was established. Just click on the site and it will redirect you to the site's VPN Status.

If you log into the desired network, you can also see the status.

I think you're doing something wrong.

Hi @NishP there are two VPN status.

Option 1: Organization >  VPN Status which isn't as detailed as option 2.
Option 2: Security & SD-WAN > Monitor > VPN Status which allows you to see IPSec peers which I am assuming you are using with Fortinet in the equation.

Give option 2 a try to see if it shows an IPSec Peer tab (as seen in @alemabrahao picture shared).
