tearing down the connection. The default is 3 failures. When the VPN firewall senses an
IKE connection failure, it deletes the IPSec and IKE Security Association and forces a
reestablishment of the connection.

Configuring NetBIOS Bridging with 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 normally pass NetBIOS traffic, these network services do not work 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. Select VPN > Policies from the menu.
2. Click the VPN Policies tab, then click the Edit button next to the desired VPN policy.
