We recenlty changed out WAN connection to remote locations from a T-1 point to point to VPN over a broadband cable connection using static ip's. We route through a Cisco 1800 series router on the remote side to a Cisco ASA500 box on the host side. The remote sites connect to the AIX box via telnet or SSH
and remained up until physically disconnected when connected via the T-1. Since connecting via the VPN connection, my telnet or SSH session will get "connections disconnected by host" randomly after be connected anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 hours.
The netstat -rn command shows the client connected with the ASA500 internal interface as the default route. When we get disconnected the route disappears. Yet for the remotes connected via T-1 the routes remain until we physcially disconnect. The T-1 routes show the proper interfaces that connect
to the Cisco routers that connect ti the T's. Our VAR can not figure out what's going on.
PS: the connection never drops on the VPN, and if we have 5 differant telnet connections in a remote, they will disconnect at all differant times.
