    • Even if the operating systems and CPUs used for the copy source VPN Server and the copy destination VPN Server are different, the configuration information is copied verbatim and the compatibility of the Configuration file is maintained between the two. Note that functions only supported on the copy source system are not supported on the new system even if the Configuration file is copied.
    • Transfer between computers is also possible even when the Configuration file is in binary format. Because the binary format Configuration file has undergone proper endian conversion so as not to rely on the type of CPU or OS, the system and machine architecture should not, in principal, affect operation.
      • The Configuration file may contain license information (list of license keys). Running the VPN Server on both the copy source system and the copy destination system means that both systems are using the license key, which is in breach of the SoftEther VPN Server License Agreement. In order to avoid such an occurrence, it is necessary to launch one of the systems first and delete the license key using the VPN Server Manager or the vpncmd utility. Subsequently registering a license key obtained for use with that server computer will prevent violation of the license.

    Entry Contents
    Server Type Usually a [Stand-Alone Server]. When using the cluster function, this becomes either a [cluster controller] or [cluster member server].
    Number of TCP Connections The VPN Server displays the total value of all TCP Connections connected as VPN sessions and administration sessions. For the cluster controller, the total value of all TCP connections for all other cluster members is displayed in addition to two other items, namely [This server's TCP connections] and [Other cluster member's TCP connections].
    Number of Virtual Hubs Displays the total number of Virtual Hubs operating on the VPN Server. For the cluster controller, the total number of Virtual Hubs defined in the cluster is displayed, while for the cluster member server, the individual number of Virtual Hubs for which an instance currently exists inside that server is displayed. In addition, both the number of [Static Virtual Hubs] and [Dynamic Virtual Hubs] are displayed for the cluster environment.
    Number of Sessions Displays the number of VPN sessions currently connected to the VPN Server. The total number of connected sessions for the entire cluster is displayed for the cluster controller, as well as [This server's sessions] and [Other cluster member's server sessions].
    MAC Address Tables Displays the total number of MAC Address Tables within all Virtual Hubs administered by the VPN Server. The total number of all MAC Address Tables administered by the VPN Server within clusters is displayed for the cluster controller.
    Number of IP Address Tables Displays the total number of IP address tables within all Virtual Hubs administered by the VPN Server. The total number of all IP address tables administered by the VPN Server within clusters is displayed for the Cluster Controller.
    Number of Users Displays the total number of user objects defined within all Virtual Hubs administered by the VPN Server. The cluster member server always displays 0 because it does not hold any user databases.
    Number of Groups Displays the total number of group objects defined within all Virtual Hubs administered by the VPN Server. The Cluster Member Server always displays 0 because it does not hold any group databases.
    Using Client Connection Licenses Displays the number of client connection licenses currently consumed (counts connections requiring licenses) by the VPN Server. Please refer to #1.3# for details on connection licenses. Displays both the number of client licenses consumed by the entire cluster and the number of client licenses consumed by that computer alone for the cluster controller. Using Bridge Connection Licenses Displays the number of bridge connection licenses currently consumed (counts connections requiring licenses) by the VPN Server. Please refer to #1.3# for details on connection licenses. Displays both the number of bridge licenses consumed by the entire cluster and the number of bridge licenses consumed by that computer alone for the cluster controller. Statistical Information Displays statistical information on the communication volume to date.
    Server Start Time Displays the time that the VPN Server was launched.
    Current Time Displays the current time of the VPN Server computer. Converts to local time when displayed.
    64-bit High Precision Logical System Clock Displays the 64-bit time data administered internally by the VPN Server.
    Memory Usage Status Displays the usage status of both the physical and virtual memory of the computer running the VPN Server. This can only be displayed on Windows operating systems.
