linux client hangs up (ubuntu 8.10)

Hi There,

 

 

It looks like you hit a DPD timer (Dead Peer Detection). FirePass uses SSL encrypted PPP connections. PDP is doing using LCP-echo packets over the PPP connection between the client and the FirePass. FirePass will send one LCP-echo every 30 seconds and upon four un-acknowledge LCP-echo's (2 minutes) will consider the peer dead and reap the connection.

 

 

The best way to troubleshoot this (in my experience) is run a TCPDump on the actual PPP interface (e.g.: tcpdump -s0 -i pppX) created by FirePass and look for the LCP-echo and responses. Hopefully from here you should be able to figure this one out.

 

 

Cheers,
