Connectivity Features in Detail
Remote Access Clients support more connectivity features.
|
Feature |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Automatic Connectivity Detection |
If the IPsec VPN network connection is lost, the client seamlessly reconnects without user intervention. |
|
Roaming |
If the IP address of a client changes, for example, if the client on a wireless connection physically connects to a LAN that is not part of the VPN domain, interface roaming maintains the logical connection. |
|
Multiple Sites |
Remote Access users can configure many gateways to connect to the VPN. If you have multiple VPN gateways, users can attempt to connect to a different gateway if the previous one is down or overloaded. |
|
Dialup Support |
Endpoint Security VPN supports dial-up connections, useful where a network is not detected. |
|
Hotspot Detection and Registration |
Automatically detects hotspots that prevent the client system from establishing a VPN tunnel. Opens a mini-browser to allow the user to register to the hotspot and connect to the VPN gateway. |
|
Office Mode |
Allows a remote client appear to the local network as if it is uses a local IP address. This is not supported on SecuRemote. |
|
Extended DHCP Parameters |
When you use Office Mode from a DHCP server, the Remote Access Clients gateway sends data that it got from the client to the DHCP server in the correct format - Hostname, FQDN, Vendor Class, and User Class. |
|
Machine Idleness |
Disconnects the VPN tunnel if the computer becomes inactive (because of lock or sleep) for a specified duration. |
|
Keep-alive |
Send keep-alive messages from the client to the VPN gateway to maintain the VPN tunnel. |
|
VPN Connectivity to VPN-1 VSX |
Terminate VPN tunnel at Check Point VSX gateways. |
|
Split DNS |
Support multiple DNS servers. |
|
DHCP Automatic Lease Renewal |
Automatically renew IP addresses obtained from DHCP servers |
|
Smart Card Removal Detection |
If the Smart Card is removed from the PC, the VPN tunnel is closed. |
