Supervision of VPN connections
Figure 7-10
Function
With the supervision of VPN connections the SINAUT MD741-1 checks the
condition of configured VPN connections. To check the VPN connection status the
SINAUT MD741-1 sends periodically ping packets (ICMP) via the VPN connection
to one or several remote stations (target hosts). This is made independently from
payload data. For each VPN connection an own supervision can be configured.
If the SINAUT MD741-1 receives the answer for the ping packet from at least one
addressed remote station, the VPN connection is still operational.

Note
Do not ping a host downstream from the VPN Gateway! Here, the tunnel
monitoring responds if a host can no longer be reached, for example due to
ShutDown.
Ping the internal IP interface of the VPN Gateway!
