VPN Keep Alive
To keep the VPN tunnel open when there are no connections through it, you can use the IP address of a
computer at the other end of the tunnel as an echo host. The Firebox® X Edge e-Series sends a ping each
minute to the specified host. Use the IP address of a host that is always online and that can respond to
ping messages. You can enter the trusted interface IP address of the Firebox that is at the other end of
the tunnel. You also can use more than one IP address so the Edge can send a ping to more than one
host through different tunnels.
1 To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1.
2 From the navigation bar, select VPN > Keep Alive.
The VPN Keep Alive page appears.
3 Type the IP address of an echo host. Click Add.
Repeat step 3 to add additional echo hosts.
