Question 290
A mesh VPN community contains twelve managed gateways. Only one critical pair must maintain continuous tunnel health; other peer tunnels should remain demand-driven to limit overhead. A preliminary suggestion is to use periodic tunnel-test responses to determine up status. The incident evidence instead points to a different control within the same R82 subsystem. What is the most relevant action?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Tunnel Management permits specific individual permanent tunnels. This directly addresses the documented incident evidence.
Incorrect Answers
Test packet responses are the basis for permanent tunnel status, but the current evidence calls for a different R82 operation.
Permanent tunnel monitoring can issue logs and alerts on failure, yet that applies to track failure of a monitored permanent VPN tunnel rather than the observed issue.
R82 Dead Peer Detection supports third-party gateways, while proprietary tunnel-test packets require Check Point peers; this does not resolve the observed condition.
