Question 670
An operator expects an R82 managed Check Point permanent tunnel to be UP merely because it has not logged a recent disconnect. The tunnel monitor has no reply from the peer for its active probes. An alternate diagnosis concerns the requirement to mark just one tunnel in a larger community as permanent, for which a colleague suggests select the particular tunnel in community Tunnel Management. Based on the recorded symptoms, which corrective step should have priority?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Test packet responses are the basis for permanent tunnel status. This directly addresses the documented incident evidence.
Incorrect Answers
R82 Dead Peer Detection supports third-party gateways, while proprietary tunnel-test packets require Check Point peers; this does not resolve the observed condition.
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.
Tunnel Management permits specific individual permanent tunnels, but the current evidence calls for a different R82 operation.
