Maestro Madness
Hello CM!
I have strange behavior which happens unexpectedly. Some users connect to R80.10 Gateway with LoadSharing Multicast with VPN client with re-authnticate options setting on 24h but disconnected after 2 minutes with reason "session timeout".


Can anyone give a tip, where find 120 sec timeout setting or mb something else?
I saw this SK, but I think it a little different
Antispoof is set to detect only
I increased Maximum concurrent IKE neg, but it does not work
There is no such problem when ClusterXL was in HA mode
I found these lines in trac.log on client:

ok, all day I tried to fix this issue and and that's what I discovered:
when I switched off Implied rules "Accept Control Connections" and write my own rule for tunnel_test port everything works fine. But when I turn everything back - "sessions timeouts" returned
commented /* #define ENABLE_TUNNEL_TEST */ in implied_rules.def and added explicit rule in policy
We'll see what it makes
Nah, does not work(
I recommed getting the TAC involved
