Failover

10.In the Hosts field, click Add, to enter the network host or hosts for which you want to monitor connectivity. You can define up to five DNS names or IP addresses. These hosts can be either within the VPN or outside the VPN. If the host is within the VPN, the host information is encapsulated in the associated VPN policy. If the host is outside the VPN, the host information is sent in the clear.

11.In the Remote TEP field, click Add, to enter the tunnel endpoints (TEP) for the central site that the remote VPN device establishes a network connection. If the network path failure criteria is met while the remote security gateway is trying to establish a network connection, the remote VPN tries to alternate TEPs until a network connection is made.

For more information regard Failover TEP, see Failover TEP on page 218.

12.In the Device/VPN Mappings area, click Add to enter the device type and configured VPN information. Click OK.

13.Click Save.

Failover reconnect

When failover is configured on the security gateway, the security gateway is enabled to detect connectivity failures to the configured TEPs. If failover is detected, the security gateway will attempt to connect to an alternate TEP.

In some network configurations, alternate TEPs are considered temporary, and the expected behavior is that a system reboot would revert to the original TEP. However, the security gateway remains connected to the alternate TEP until the administrator switches the connection back to the original TEP.

Beginning in release VPNos 4.4, failover reconnect option can be set using the failover advanced settings. The failover advanced settings include preserve current remote tunnel end point (RTEP) and restore primary remote tunnel end point (RTEP).

If a system reboot occurs, the failover proxy inspects the failover reconnect value. If the value is set to preserve current RTEP, the failover proxy remains at the current value allowing the security gateway to remain connected to the RTEP in use prior to the system reboot. If the value is set to restore primary RTEP, the failover proxy retrieves the information for the original RTEP and restores the RTEP to the original values.

To set up failover reconnect:

1.From the VPNmanager Configuration Console, select the Failover object. The Failover tab appears.

2.From the Failover>Contents column select the device to configure.

3.Select the appropriate failover reconnect option.

●Preserve current RTEP

In the event of tunnel failover, leave the current remote tunnel endpoint in effect following a system reboot.
