What version of SA are you using?
How are you forcing SA to go over the VPN?
What does SA show as error for the down?

Subject: [SA-List] Ping Issues over VPN


Hi,

I have a pair of Sophos UTM firewalls that provide a VPN between two
locations. On my end we are on a 172.16.x.x subnet and at the other end it's
172.17.x.x. I am using Servers Alive (SA) to ping test 10 different devices
on the 172.17.x.x end of the VPN but SA frequently shows that the devices
are down when they actually are up.

I have SA configured with the Sophos UTM ping test as the primary connection
and then the rest of the devices dependent on the Sophos being up. I have
played around with the timeout value set as high as 25 ms on all the devices
as well as dropping the success % down to 50 but I still am getting frequent
false downs. I verify whether there's a down condition by command-line
pinging or remotely accessing devices while SA indicates Down.

I also have a ping utility called Ping Plotter that keeps a history of
periodic pinging that shows ping success/fail as well as average response
time which is roughly 75 ms and very infrequent fails.

Any suggestions on SA settings that might fix my false downs?
