6. After VSUA establishes a connection with VSUC, the resilient tunnel is used for VPN traffic.
7. On a periodic basis, VSUA continues to request a heartbeat from VSUB. The period is called
Dead Primary Poll Interval.
8. If VSUA reconnects with VSUB, VSUA waits for a specific time before it switches traffic back
to VSUB. The waiting period is called Hold-down Time.
Note:
Note: If packet filtering is used, be sure the heartbeat packets are not filtered. The
security gateway heartbeat listening port = 1643 using UDP protocol.
Creating a resilient tunnel
Resilient tunnels are configured from the Resilient Tunnel tab.

●Enable SNMP Traps. Check this box if you want SNMP traps enabled for the resilient
tunnel.
●Dead Poll Intervals. The number of seconds between heartbeat poll requests to a dead
primary. This is different from the normal Heartbeat Interval because the primary security
gateway is believed to be inactive and no response is expected. Therefore, the interval is
much longer than a normal heartbeat request interval.
