IPSEC not always up

Shqiptari · ‎09-29-2010

Hi,

I am testing the ipsec protocol for school on a CISCO 871. And the IPSEC isnt always up.. if i want to get it up i ping the router or from the router to the other subnet..

And if i want to test the tunnel when its up, i get always Checking peer connectivity Failed..

Why is that..

Ive tried with DPD( keep alive: 10 sec, retry: 2 sec, dpd type: on-demand )

Thanks

One problem has been resolved, that if i do test tunnel, it is running..

But after 3/4 minutes, the ipsec tunnel gets down and then i need again to ping to get it up..

there are some issues with keep alives (dpd's)

why dont you try to capture packets once they leave the router, probably if you have a switch in between you can span that port

lets see once the tunnel is established we see some traffic on port 500 which are dpd's

also do you have any firewalls in between or on the router

Hi,

Please enable "debug crypto isakmp" and "debug crypto ipsec" and paste the debugs when the tunnel goes down. Also, please try changing the DPDs to "periodic" instead of "on-demand". Let me know how it goes!1

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the reply.

1. No I disabled the firewall on the cisco 871, and the ipsec tunnel is to an isa server and not a gateway.

2. Yeah I tried to switch the dpd type, but with no result.

3. And I have enable those 2 debugs, but what are they for. I dont have experience with cisco

Greets,

Hi,

Here is a link that throws some light on the details of the debugs http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_tech_note09186a00800949c5.shtml#iosdbgs

Please capture and post these debugs when the tunnel goes down. I hope it helps.

Thanks,

Namit

Does anybody have an idea?

Jitendriya Athavale · ‎10-04-2010

as previously requested please provide the debugs

debug crypto isa sa

debug crypto ipsec sa

if you do not see them coming up

give the command

term mon

but just make sure that you do not have any logging monitor else your screen will be flooded
