Remote VPN client session disconnects after being idle for 5 minutes

[mahlory_2002]

I have a problem with my remote vpn client setup that everytime I became idle for 5 minutes my remote vpn connection is being disconnected. But the PIX firewall is configured to use the default idle timeout which is 30 minutes.

I'm using the following software for this setup:

Client: Cisco VPN client ver 4.8.02

Server: PIX 515E, ver 8.0(2)

Following is the global timeout settings in firewall:

timeout xlate 3:00:00

timeout conn 1:00:00 half-closed 0:10:00 udp 0:02:00 icmp 0:00:02

timeout sunrpc 0:10:00 h323 0:05:00 h225 1:00:00 mgcp 0:05:00 mgcp-pat 0:05:00

timeout sip 0:30:00 sip_media 0:02:00 sip-invite 0:03:00 sip-disconnect 0:02:00

timeout uauth 0:05:00 absolute

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mahlory

Hi Mahlory,

You can try to set up the vpn idle timeout under the group policy used by your client.

group-policy attributes

vpn-idle-timeout x

Hope it helps, rate if does,
