Hi All, The users are able to connect and work for sometime and then traffic flow stops; although Global Protect Agent shows that VPN is connected. The user have to disconnect and reconnect again, then it will work for sometime and stops again. This intermittent issue can occur in 10 min, or 30 min or 1 hour or more, there is no definite time. Initially, this happened with Global Protect VPN 3.1.4 and then we upgraded the agent to 3.1.6. This issue still persists. When I took the debug logs from client I wasen't able to find any useful logs or maybe I didn't understand the logs correctly. The logs from Firewall also is not showing anything. Client is using PANOS 7.1.8 and GP agent 3.1.6 The portal and Gateway are on the same interface. Below are logs from GP client: (T4256) 04/05/17 19:14:11:862 Debug( 329): CheckHip over (T4256) 04/05/17 19:14:11:862 Debug( 277): Hip checking is not initiated by clicking resubmit host profile.
