Is It Working?

At this point, SKIP encryption should be enabled with the remote host. Traffic will be exchanged with all other hosts in the clear.

1. ping the other host to make sure everything is working:

   ping host

2. View the key manager log file to see if the certificate exchange and the shared-secret computation succeeded:

   tail /var/log/skipd.log

3. If you have snoop, tcpdump, etherfind, or some other packet dumping utility, you can verify that encrypted packets are using protocol 57.
