We have a Microsoft VPN server and people connect using L2TP
Some of our student residences connect to the wired network using the VPN. A couple of students who have Mac's have reported frequent dropouts (every 8 minutes for one). Whilst I have had disconnects they are usually variable enough that I put them down to my home wifi or all the other network pieces on the way back to the VPN server. Because these students are on our wired network it would seem like they have a more reliable connection.
At least one student is on Big Sur. Need to find out more about the other.
One of our Network Team has tried a Big Sur Macbook and was able to reproduce the behavior both over at the residence and back here on the main campus
Any suggestions on what might be causing the disconnects?
We are going to try some packet captures at both client and server to see if anything stands out but at this point we are just poking around
