    Option Description

    Dead peer detection

    Dead peer detection (DPD) identifies inactive or unavailable IKE peers. Using IPsec traffic patterns, DPD can use a minimal number of IKE messages to confirm whether the connection is live. DPD is used to restore resources that are lost when a peer is unavailable. Selecting Enable dead peer detection reestablishes VPN tunnels on idle connections and cleans up dead VPN peers if required.

    IKE Debugging

    Enable or disable IKE debugging.
  2. Click Save.
