Solved: Odd crypto-map behavior

timdeadman1 · ‎06-10-2019

Our IKEv2 VPN is showing some very odd behavior. We have two devices our end that need to be seen as interesting traffic, they are n.n.8.4 and n.n.9.4. When these were configured I put in 8.4 first followed by the 9.4, the tunnel came up, traffic passed through it, but only traffic from 8.4, 9.4 traffic was dropped as "(vpn-context-expired) Expired VPN context". On doing a packet trace I got this message.

Changing the pack trace to 8.4 gave me traffic all the way through.

By deleting 8.4 from the crypto-map I was able to get 9.4 to use the tunnel, but then even after I added 8.4 back in, it portrayed the same characteristics as 9.4 had at the start.

This is driving me nuts.

Hi Tim,

Try and run it through ASDM Packet Tracer

which ASA code you on? and does this ASA is in context mode?

check this if you hitting a bug

It is running 9.10(1) and is in single context mode.

Hope this helps

what does asp drop shows you. also confirm you are using a object network in access-cryto map or you using the ip address in cryto map access-list.

timdeadman1 · ‎06-12-2019

Hi Sheraz,

We are using network objects that resolve to an IP address, these are configured as a network group that is called by the crypto map.

Cheers

This look interesting.

VPN overlap conflict (vpn-overlap-conflict) 27770
VPN decryption missing (vpn-missing-decrypt) 12834

you mind if you can share the configuration. you can hide the ip addresses or make up to different ip address and also remove the password or any other sensitive information.

also when you interesting acl for vpn in place. could you issue the command show crypto ipsec sa peer x.x.x.x and show the output.

timdeadman1 · ‎06-12-2019

Thanks for your help and interest in this Sheraz, afraid I can't post the sh run output as we have too much sensitive information here but the output of "sh crypto ipsec sa peer n.n.8.4 and 9.4" is the same. "There are no ipsec sa for peer n.n.8.4" and "There are no ipsec sa for peer n.n.9.4"

The fact that I can get 8.4 working by deleting the re-adding 9.4 or get 9.4 working by doing the same with 8.4 just seems to point to a bug rather than a config error. I have tried deleting the config and re installing by CLI and have also tried making a new object group with IP addresses rather than object names. Neither of these have worked. I still only see one working at a time.

This is the output of "packet trace input WAN-New tcp A.B.C.D sql n.n.8.4 sql decrypt detail."

You need to open a TAC CASE.

While looking at the cisco documentation.

it says,

Name: vpn-context-expired
Expired VPN context:
This counter will increment when the security appliance receives a packet that requires encryption or decryption, and the ASP VPN context required to perform the operation is no longer valid.

Recommendation:
This indicates that a software error should be reported to the Cisco TAC.

Syslogs:
None"

please do not forget to rate.

Hi Tim,

Try and run it through ASDM Packet Tracer

Harvey

timdeadman1 · ‎06-15-2019

Harvey,

No idea why it worked, but it did. I'd run it through the CLI packet tracer many times, but twice through the ASDM PT and it burst into life.

You sir are a genius.....
