5.1.7.2 Connection Supervisor
The connection supervisor monitors connectivity and automatically recovers the connections in case of
link loss.
First you should check the option “monitor the connection establishment” to make sure that problems
during connections establishment are detected and recovered.
Second the active connection should be monitored. If you are running an IPsec or OpenVPN based VPN
we recommend to use the protocol integrated monitoring service (IPsec DPD or OpenVPN keep-alive).
Else you should configure and enable the ping monitor application.
Parameter Description
Host 1: Reference host 1 to which IP connectivity is checked by sending probes
Host 2: Reference host 2 to which IP connectivity is checked by sending probes (option-
al)
The test is considered successful if host 1 or 2 answers.
Source IP address: Source IP address to be used as source of the ping probes
Monitoring interval: The time to wait before sending the next probe in case the last probe was suc-
cessful.
Retry interval: The time to wait until sending the next probe in case the last probe was unsuc-
