Enable Keep Alive
Selecting the Enable Keep Alive check box allows the VPN tunnel to remain active or maintain its
current connection by listening for traffic on the network segment between the two connections.
Interruption of the signal forces the tunnel to renegotiate the connection.
Try to bring up all possible SAs
If multiple SAs are configured on the SonicWALL, select this feature to have the SonicWALL
renegotiate the tunnels if they lose communication with the SonicWALL.
