VPN Group Configuration General Tab
> Bind To
This pulldown allows the selection of an interface on the device. The interface
selected will act as the local end point for the tunnels defined by this config-
uration.
v Note: Some VPN devices may only have one interface available for this
function. In this case, the pull-down will not have any other choices available.
Max Connections
This is the maximum number of simultaneous client connections using this
configuration which will be allowed by the device.
This setting can be used to limit the number of connections for certain classes
of users by assigning users to different group configurations. This number
may not exceed the maximum number of tunnel connections supported by the
device. If the sum of the Max Connections for all VPN Group sections
exceeds the maximum number of tunnel connections supported by the device,
tunnel connections will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.
Keep Alive Interval
This is the number of seconds between keep-alive packets sent to each
connected client by the device.
Clients which do not answer these packets and/or generate other traffic within
several keep-alive intervals will have their connections shut down.
Keep-alive packets are only sent in the case where no other traffic has been
received from the client in the specified number of seconds.
