[Geomix7]

Hello all ,

Is there any specific configuration setting that prevent laptop from sleeping?

I can easily test this on my laptop and let you know.

Just tested on my end, no issues. By the way, dont see any settings on the client or portal itself for this anywhere. Maybe run command I attached in the screenshot, see if it shows anything sase related.

Just to test this further, I had it verified on windows 10, 11 and macbook air, no issues on any of them. 

windows sase client version 11.6.0.2555

mac sase client version - 11.6.1.4855

Is Always On VPN enabled in the agent profile? Just wondering.

[the_rock]

Good point Tom. I checked on my side and while its enabled in the portal, its not enabled on my client.

Yes

Does the behavior change if you temporary disable the Always On VPN then? I think it's worth to test.

If it does, then it's maybe by product design but you may want to ask Harmony SASE support for clarification, since I don't see such reference in the Admin guide.

By the way I enabled it on the client end and had exact same issue.

Hi Andy,
Good to know the suspected feature is indeed causing the behavior 🙂 

Maybe someone from the SASE team can clarify this?

[the_rock]

Maybe someone else can test it, just to be sure, but I got that behavior on 2 machines.
