%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_INV_SPI messages every 1 minute

ios version = 12.3(6a)

ios image = c1700-k9o3sy7-mz.123-6a.bin

vpn client = 4.0.3(F)

I've never seen this one before... Typically when a 4.0.3x vpn client session times out, I see the following two messages in the syslog output:

4128: May 12 16:47:46: %CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_INV_SPI: decaps: rec'd IPSEC packet has invalid spi for

4129: <009>destaddr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, prot=50, spi=0x99BA67EE(-1715836946), srcaddr=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

Then that's the end of the story. However, this morning I find my syslog logs filling up with the following:

...

...

The frequency is fairly regular, a message pair about once every minute. It seems as if the client is still trying to re-establish (every one minute) the tunnel with the old spi from the tunnel session that timed out.

Any suggestions or explanations?

After 24 hours I got tired of the continuous stream of syslog messages. Resetting the router "solved" the problem.

This sounds like an ios vpn bug, doesn't it? Should open a ticket?
