Situation:
Site-to-Site-VPN Nortel shasta - Astaro ASG120
Tunnel with preshared key comes up and is always up from ASG.
Tunnel seems not to be usable in a stable way from Nortel shasta.
The idea for that VPN is:
Customer mobile user connect via wireless direct connection to provider.
Provider links that connection to the vpn tunnel.
On the other side of the tunnel there is the business-LAN of the customer.
What happens:
When we establish the tunnel manually from the ASG (turn the red light green...) the tunnel comes up. Some traffic through the tunnel works.
Then the tunnel is not anymore accessible from the providers side.
How it should be:
Tunnel should be activated from the provider (Nortel shasta).
Tunnel should be up and down automaticely.
The Configuration of Nortel shasta shows that this VPN connection work in mode "responder" whereas in other similar VPNs with different endpoints the Nortel shasta works as "initiator".
- Is there a possibility to configure the ASG so that the initiation of the tunnel comes only from providers side ?
- is there any possibility to send keep alive packets to keep the tunnel permanently open (as second best solution) ?
- Is there any knowhow with VPN between Nortel Shasta and ASG ?
Kind regards
Christo
