SYMPTOMS
The taskbar icon for the firewall client for Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server may change from displaying a green circle to a red circle.



CAUSE
The firewall client checks the firewall every 10 minutes. If the client does not receive a response in a timely manner, it assumes that the firewall is offline. Under these circumstances, a red circle is displayed on the firewall icon. If you click the firewall icon and then click Update Now, this action overrides the 10-minute interval.

If this behavior occurs frequently, it usually indicates that a network problem is causing latency issues.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
