). Unlike keep alive, any time the Business Secure Router restarts, it also
automatically renegotiates any nailed up tunnels. In effect, the IPSec tunnel
becomes an “always on” connection after you initiate it. Also different from keep
alive, the peer IPSec router does not have to have a Business Secure Router
compatible nailed up feature enabled in order for this feature to work.
If the Business Secure Router has its maximum number of simultaneous IPSec
tunnels connected to it and they all have nailed up enabled, no other tunnels can
take a turn connecting to the Business Secure Router because the Business Secure
Router does not drop the tunnels that are already connected (unless there is
outbound traffic with no inbound traffic).
NAT Traversal
NAT traversal allows you to set up a VPN connection when there are NAT routers
between the Business Secure Router and the remote IPSec router.
Figure 68
NAT router between IPSec routers
Normally, you cannot set up a VPN connection with a NAT router between the
two IPSec routers because the NAT router changes the header of the IPSec packet.
In the previous figure, IPSec router A sends an IPSec packet in an attempt to
initiate a VPN. The NAT router changes the header of the IPSec packet so it does
not match the header for which IPSec router B is checking. Therefore, IPSec
router B does not respond and the VPN connection cannot be built.
Note:
No matter whether or not nailed up is set, when there is outbound
traffic with no inbound traffic, the Business Secure Router automatically
drops the tunnel after two minutes.
