VPN Keep Alive
To keep the VPN tunnel open when there are no connections
through it, you can use the IP address of a computer at the other
end of the tunnel as an echo host. The Firebox® X Edge sends a
ping each minute to the specified host. Use the IP address of a host
that is always online and can respond to ping messages. You can
enter the trusted interface IP address of the Firebox that is at the
other end of the tunnel. You can also use more than one IP address
so the Firebox X Edge can send a ping to more than one host
through different tunnels.
