Configure NetBIOS Bridging with IPSec VPN
Windows networks use the Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS) for several basic
network services such as naming and neighborhood device discovery. Because VPN routers
do not usually pass NetBIOS traffic, these network services do not function for hosts on
opposite ends of a VPN connection. To solve this problem, you can configure the VPN
firewall to bridge NetBIOS traffic over the VPN tunnel.
To enable NetBIOS bridging on a configured VPN tunnel:
1.
Log in to the unit:
a.
In the address field of any of the qualified web browsers, enter
https://192.168.1.1

Click the
Login
button.

Description
IKE SA Parameters
Enable Dead Peer
Detection
Select the
Yes
radio button to enable DPD. When the VPN firewall detects an
IKE connection failure, it deletes the IPSec and IKE SA and forces a
reestablishment of the connection. You must specify the detection period in the
Detection Period
field and the maximum number of times that the VPN firewall
attempts to reconnect in the
Reconnect after failure count
field.
Detection Period
The period in seconds between consecutive
DPD R-U-THERE messages, which are sent only when the
IPSec traffic is idle. The default setting is 10 seconds.
Reconnect after
failure count
The maximum number of DPD failures before the VPN
firewall tears down the connection and then attempts to
reconnect to the peer. The default setting is 3 failures.
