Disconnect-with-Reason Messages

In addition, in Release 4.0, when a VPN 3000 Concentrator disconnects the VPN Client and tears down the tunnel, the VPN Client displays a popup window showing the reason for the disconnect and also logs a message to the Notifications log and the IPSec log file. For IPSec deletes that do not tear down the connection, the event message appears only in the log file. These disconnect events include:

For a shutdown or reboot scheduled at a future time, the VPN 3000 Concentrator sends the disconnect notification at the time of the actual shutdown or reboot. This feature does not provide advanced or early notification of a future event; for example, it does not send messages such as "The Concentrator is going to shut down in 30 minutes."

The disconnect-with-reason feature is enabled by default, but an administrator can configure the VPN 3000 Concentrator to turn off these disconnect notifications. This feature is not configurable on the VPN Client. When this feature is enabled, the VPN 3000 Concentrator and the VPN Client negotiate whether to display these messages.
