I have several Cisco 877 that I use at branch offices with IPSEC tunnels to our head office and I am trouble shooting through the syslogs when using the "ip inspect log drop" command so I can see if any traffic is being dropped over the tunnels.
Although my tunnels are up and I can pass traffic across them in the sense that all my users are working and I have no complaints I do find that I see this type of message in the syslogs quite often
%FW-6-DROP_PKT: Dropping tcp session 192.168.148.200:8059 192.168.137.93:55413 due to policy match failure with ip ident 6048 tcpflags 0x8012 seq.no 3042221804 ack 3404684539
In the above example the IP 192.168.148.200:8059 is a Server running Trend Micro Office Scan which communicates witha client at the remote site using port 8059. The client is working and the application is functioning so is this type of packet drop to be expected or should I be looking to the cause of these dropped packets?
Thanks
