Could not open outbound connection?

[Peter]

This FAQ applies to:

• Clavister CorePlus™

Question:
When i perform a ping from the console i get the following message : "Could not open outbound connection?" What is the reason for this?

Answer:
There are alot of reasons for this, these are the most common, and uncommon, ones.

• * Failed to find a route to the destination IP
  
  * Failed to find a route to the source IP
  
  * The connection table is full (and conn-replace fails)
  
  * Failed to acquire a new ICMP ID or source TCP/UDP port for NAT'ing
  
  * UDP Src Port 0 is specified, but not allowed (by setting)
  
  * Failed to acquire an IP from the NAT pool
  
  * SLB fails to apply the configured policy
  
  * Threshold rules does not allow a new connection at this stage

"Failed to find a route to dest/src IP" is the most common cause.

Note: Depending on your CorePlus version some of these reasons may not be available.
