  2. Select Filters > Trace options and click the VPN tab.
  3. In the SSL VPN area, verify that Session and Session State are enabled. Click OK.

    Session state change

    When you enable the SSL VPN service, the session state progresses through the following stages:

    • resolving the domain name

    • starting the session

    • connecting the IP address of IP Office to the VPN gateway IP address

    If IP Office cannot resolve the domain name, the following error message displays: “DNS failed to resolve host name <x.x.x> and reached MAX retries. Restart session.”
