Hello all,
I have the following scenario currently in production:
VPNClient---Internet---CSS--2VPNConcentrators
The CSS is 11500 with ver 6.10 .
The Cisco VPN clients are connecting with NAT-T IPSec (UDP 4500). The VPN tunnels are built without a problem. However, the VPN tunnels do not stay built much longer then several hours. If I constantly send 'ping'/ICMP traffic over the tunnel, it will stay up for days.
I have DPD/IKE keepalives enabled. Even with IKE keepalives configured, the tunnels still drop. The VPN Concentrators indicate that they have 'Lose Contact' with the VPN client. The VPN Client will then rebuild the tunnel and stay built for approximately 3-4-5 hours. I attached the config file.
Should the flows always be active for this type of traffic to pass? Maybe I should set the flow for UDP/4500 to permanent?
I'm sort of new to CSS administration. Let me know if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks,
Mike
