keep-alive requests (ping packets) to the remote endpoint to keep the tunnel
alive. You need to specify the ping IP address in the Ping IP Address field, the
detection period in the Detection Period field, and the maximum number of
keep-alive requests that the wireless VPN firewall sends in the Reconnect
after failure count field.
•
No
. This feature is disabled. This is the default setting.
Ping IP Address
The IP address that the wireless VPN firewall pings. The
address needs to be of a host that can respond to ICMP
ping requests.
Detection Period
The period in seconds between the keep-alive requests. The
default setting is 10 seconds.
Reconnect after
failure count
The maximum number of keep-alive requests before the
wireless VPN firewall tears down the connection and then
attempts to reconnect to the remote endpoint. The default
setting is 3 keep-alive requests.
