Debug for IPSEC tunnel not dispaying anything

[CiscoPurpleBelt]

So I set the following:

debug crypto condition peer  10.10.10.1

debug crypto ikev2 protocol 127
debug crypto ikev2 platform 127

However no debugs are displayed on the CLI for IPSEC tunnel negotiations. All configs for tunnel look good as it was working not too long ago.

Hi,
Is interesting traffic being generated in order to establish the tunnel? Without that there would be no debugs.

No it is not. I have to wait on something to do that. So I guess the tunnel traffic or negotiation will only come up if interesting traffic is being generated?

[Rob Ingram]

If using a crypto map (which I assume you are) then yes, interesting traffic needs to be generated in order for the tunnel to be established and therefore generate debug logs.

If you were using a VTI, then the tunnel would attempt to establish straight away and stay up without the requirement for interesting traffic.

Yes, I am using a Crypto map. I will get back to you. Thanks!
