I am seeing the same thing. Have you received any feedback on an answer to this?
Nope, no feedback at all. I'm assuming it's just a cosmetic bug. Either that or something is quite broken internally and there's nothing that can be done about it until VMware issues a fix.

I found the following KB which outlines how to determine if traffic being passed from Security server to Connection server is secure. I'm showing a large number of Confidential bytes sent and received. Also, upon connecting I am seeing that number change. Therefore I'm assuming that this is indeed a bug however I plan on reaching out to our local VMware team to confirm.
Yeah, I had already confirmed that on my system as well, which is why I'm leaning toward cosmetic bug.

I know this is an old thread, but did anyone get any update on this?
I'm on 5.1.3 and see the same bug.
I am testing an upgrade to View 5.3 and still seeing the same behavior. If I leave the Firewall rules that the install automatically creates then the Security Servers will go red for a little while with IPSec is configured but not active on the security server and the View Connection Server instance and then turn green for a little while. If I manually create the Firewall Rules with all Ports instead of just the specific port 8009 that the install creates then they will stay green but then when I try to upgrade to future versions the upgrade fails. We reported this to VMware back when we installed View 5.0 and I can't believe they still have not fixed this stupid cosmetic bug!!!
Did you get an SR-number when you reported this? I cant find any records of this bug...
yes we did VMware Support Request 13325264005
Hmm, it seems to link to this kb: VMware KB: Setting up an IPsec tunnel between a security server and a View Connection Server instanc...
yes and the KB says for version 5.0 and earlier. 5.1 and newer is supposed to create the IPsec rules during install.
Exactly, that was the strange part. Will make some inquires internally.
I just opened another SR. 14438407002
thanks
