1710 to Concentrator: 1710 hangs, req. reboot

drumrb0y

Level 1

I have multiple remote sites that VPN into a 3000 Concentrator; each site has a 1710 router that uses PPPoE (save for one or two exceptions).

My issue is that on occasion (between several days to several weeks), the 1710 will either drop the tunnel and not re-negotiate until it is rebooted, or traffic will simply stop and not start up again until the tunnel is logged of manually and rebuilt.

The following is a sample config that uses PPPoE on the 1710s:

Hi

Is ther any security-association lifetime values configured which may be the reason for dropping ?? or is it similar in all ur (1710) locations ??

Whts the current ios code u r running ??

Almost all of the 1710's are running 12.3 (6b) code; I'm in the process of upgrading to 12.3(9). I'm hoping that alone does the trick. We're researching configuring keepalives and lifetime values, but this setup is a first and we're absorbing the technology still.

UPDATE:

I've set up a test router with identical VPN settings on the concentrator; after upgrading the IOS code to 12.3 (9), I'm still getting the problem - more frequently on the test account! The tunnel seems to drop if there is a significant period of inactivity in the tunnel.

Logging is not enabled on these routers at this time, but I've copied some error messages in the log that appear when the tunnel closes and the connection fails to rebuild automatically; analysis via the Cisco Output Interpreter only says "contact the peer administrator" - since this is ME, there is no useful analysis from this source.

Any takers on what these error messages mean?

00:58:16: %CRYPTO-4-IKMP_NO_SA: IKE message from xx.xx.xxx.xxx has no SA and is not an initialization offer

00:58:28: %CRYPTO-4-IKMP_BAD_MESSAGE: IKE message from xx.xx.xxx.xxxfailed its sanity check or is malformed

00:58:28: %CRYPTO-6-IKMP_MODE_FAILURE: Processing of Informational mode failed with peer at xx.xx.xxx.xxx

00:59:20: %CRYPTO-4-IKMP_NO_SA: IKE message from xx.xx.xxx.xxx has no SA and is not an initialization offer

The first/last error message will repeat indefinitely, until the router is rebooted; the tunnel fails to renegotiate on its own, from either end.

Should I configure IKE keepalives to alleviate this - and if so, how..?

Thanks for your input,

Marc
