Configuring Teleworker VPN Client

General Teleworker VPN Client Settings

This section describes how to enable the Teleworker VPN Client feature, configure the Auto Initiation Retry settings, and manually connect or disconnect the VPN connections.

STEP 1 Click VPN > Teleworker VPN Client.

STEP 2 Enter the following information:

•Teleworker VPN Client: Click On to enable the Teleworker VPN Client feature and hence set the security appliance as a Cisco VPN hardware client, or click Off to disable it.

NOTE: Enabling the Teleworker VPN Client feature will disable the Site-to-Site VPN and IPsec Remote Access features and terminate their connected VPN sessions.

•Auto Initiation Retry: Click On to enable the Auto Initiation Retry feature, or click Off to disable it.

When you enable Auto Initiation Retry, the security appliance (set as the Cisco VPN hardware client) first initiates the VPN connection to the primary server. If there is no response from the primary server after the timeout that you set in the Retry Interval field, the security appliance then re-initiates the VPN connection to the primary server. This continues for the number of times that you set in the Retry Limit field (or until the primary server is connected). If the primary server cannot be connected after the specified number of times, the security appliance tries to re-initiate the VPN connection to the backup servers by following the specified timeout and retry times. If all three backup servers cannot be connected, repeat the re-initiation process again and again until an IPsec VPN server can be connected.

When you disable Auto Initiation Retry, the security appliance first initiates the VPN connection to the primary server. If there is no response from the primary server in 120 seconds, the security appliance then re-initiates the VPN connection to the backup servers. If all three backup servers cannot be connected, repeat the re-initiation process again and again until an IPsec VPN server can be connected.

•Retry Interval: Specify how often, in seconds, that the security appliance re-initiates the VPN connection to the primary server and the back servers. The default value is 120 seconds.

•Retry Limit: Enter the number of times that the security appliance will retry a VPN connection initiation. The default value is 2.
