VPN tunnel always up

[Oscar_David_Gom]

Hi, do you know how can I configure a S2S VPN  between a CP and a third party fw in some way that the VPN always be up, even if its not traffic passing across it?

Thanks, 

David Gómez.

There is a VPN feature called "permanent tunnel", but it is not supported with third party. You can actually run periodic ping from your side to keep tunnel up.

Hi, I was searching about permanent tunnels and yes, its for VPN between 2 Check Point, but I also find this sk: SK108600. Scenario 5: Permanent Tunnel based on DPD mode, maybe it works. 

Thanks for your reply.
