drop the connection.
Enable PING to keep IPsec tunnel alive – It is used to
handle abnormal IPSec VPN connection disruption. It will
help to provide the state of a VPN connection for router's
judgment of redial. Normally, if any one of VPN peers
wants to disconnect the connection, it should follow a serial
of packet exchange procedure to inform each other.
However, if the remote peer disconnects without notice,
Vigor router will by no where to know this situation. To
resolve this dilemma, by continuously sending PING
packets to the remote host, the Vigor router can know the
true existence of this VPN connection and react
accordingly. This is independent of DPD (dead peer
detection).
