Application performance issue over DMVPN

Amit Singh2000

Hi Guys

 

    I am dealing with a very strange issue and cant seem to get my head around. I have a customer, they use DMVPN for some of the sites. Its a standard DMVPN setup nothing complicated at all. During an audit they identified that encryption was weak. We too the opportunity and designed a new DMVPN which allows EIGRP to advertise the Next hop of the remote site so that site to site connectivity is direct. In the past all the traffic was hair pinned to the hub routers. We have also started using IKEv2 instead of IKE v1

 

The only thing that has change on the remote sites is the type of encryption. Hub routers have an additional command no ip eigrp next-hep-self . The EIGRP works fine , end to end ping works fine, ping with 1550 bytes etc..

 

The only problem is that after the cutover some modules of SAP are not accessible. The IP connectivity to those servers is there, i can ping sap server with 1500 bytes, But end user is not able to login at all. the user keep getting error message. When i switch to the older tunnel, it works straight away.

 

People who access different modules of SAP, everything seems to be fine .. Could someone share what i should be looking or have fixed similar kinda issue.?

 

Tunnel configuration Before cut over (Old Design, with every application working)

interface Tunnel10

end

crypto ipsec transform-set x.x.x.x.x--y.y.y.y--Tu10 esp-3des esp-md5-hmac

Configuration of new tunnel ( All applications work, except some modules of SAP).

Thanks in advance ,.

Hi

You changed only the crypto moving from ikev1 to ikev2?
Nothing else?

Have you tried to apply the following command to avoid fragmentation issue: crypto IPSec fragmentation after-encryption

You can reach sap using icmp packet right?

Have you done a Wireshark to see what's going on at hub site?

Thanks
Francesco

Hi Fransesco

 

         We have started using IKE v2 and the AES 256 encryption for the payload instead of 3DES.

 

Thats all we have changed. Absolutely nothing else.

 

Yes i can ping the SAP server with 1500 by MTU from the PC. However tunnel interface has MTU set to 1400, hence the router the maximum size ping to the server that works is 1400 bytes.

 

from a PC ping MTU 1600 works as well, but not with DF-bit.  i assume from PC MTU1350 would work easily with DF-bit. Haven't tested the last bit yet.

 

Regards

 

Can you plz run a wireshark when you're trying to access the server and share the result?


Thanks
Francesco
