ASA5505 Remote Access VPN - Randomly Stops Working

Steven Tolzmann
Level 1
Level 1

Hello all,

I have noticed a problem recently that our Remote Access VPN will randomly stop working. I will be able to connect and enter my Username+Password and it says Connected, but I cannot ping Remote Resources. If I check VPN Client Statistics, it shows Many Packets Sent/Encrypted, but None Received. It seems this problem affects all devices at once, but leaves the L2L tunnels intact.

It seems to randomly start working for a while, and everything seems fine until it stops working again.

I verified that it is not a firewall problem, and it occurs on multiple ISPs and computers.

We also have 2 Static L2L Tunnels, and 1 Dynamic L2L Tunnel all of which operate flawlessly. All sites/remote users use split tunneling.

Below is the config, please let me know if something seems off! Fyi, I just added the keepalives on the RA Tunnel to see if it would help, I haven't noticed any difference yet.

Update, still have this problem.

Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

Does my RA VPN need its own crypto map maybe? Think it shares the same crypto map as the Dynamic L2L.... Thoughts?

Steve,

Configuration looks fine. RAVPN as well as Dynamic L2L uses the same Dynamic map. The idea to make the connection from a dynamic IP address.

Can you take the captures and output of following command:

capture capout interface outside match ip host xx.xx.xx.xx host zz.zz.zz.zz

sh capture capout

! where zz.zz is remote RAVPN public ip address

! xx.xx is outside interface IP address.

sh crypto ipsec sa peer zz.zz.zz

sh run all crypto isakmp

This will enable us to see if udp 4500 packets are being dropped or not.

Regards,

Varinder
