IPSec VPN errors in logging

Hello everyone,

My company is using ASA 5510 already for a while now (running 8.0(4)); There is VPN monitor on console port, so when I connect, I should be able to track VPN connections. However, there are repeated errors (every few seconds) for few users (each of them using vpnc on linux). The errors are:

%ASA-5-713137: Group = vpnremote, Username = XXX, IP = XXX, Reaper overriding refCnt [0] and tunnelCnt [0] -- deleting SA!


%ASA-3-713232: Group = vpnremote, Username = XXX, IP = XXX, SA lock refCnt = 0, bitmask = 00000080, p1_decrypt_cb = 0, qm_decrypt_cb = 0, qm_hash_cb = 0, qm_spi_ok_cb = 0, qm_dh_cb = 0, qm_secret_key_cb = 0, qm_encrypt_cb = 0

%ASA-7-715065: Group = vpnremote, Username = XXX, IP = XXX, IKE AM Responder FSM error history (struct &0xda81fb60)  <state>, <event>:  NullState, EV_TM_FAIL-->NullState, NullEvent-->NullState, EV_START_TM-->AM_STANDBY_REKEY, EV_START_TM-->AM_TM_INIT_XAUTH_V6H, EV_RESEND_MSG-->AM_TM_INIT_XAUTH_V6H, NullEvent-->AM_TM_INIT_XAUTH_V6H, EV_ACTIVATE_NEW_SA-->AM_TM_INIT_XAUTH_V6H, NullEvent

%ASA-5-713136: Group = vpnremote, Username = XXX, IP = XXX, IKE session establishment timed out [NullState], aborting!

%ASA-7-713906: fsmDriver returned error

The only thing I have found about this is that it happens when linux user makes unclean disconnect (one user told me he usually disconnect cleanly, but there were times his Internet connection broke; the users don't have problem establishing new connections). I never found how to stop those errors from appearing or perhaps to delete them (if they appear anyway) so that the log can be readable.

I am new in my company, and I am far away from being an expert for ASA, so any help is appreciated.

You can stop the logging on specific syslog messages, as long as you are aware that you turn it off so if you need it for troubleshooting in the future, you can turn it back on.

From your example, if you want to disable logging of this particular messages:

%ASA-5-713137: Group = vpnremote, Username = XXX, IP = XXX, Reaper overriding refCnt [0] and tunnelCnt [0] -- deleting SA!

The highlighted above (713137) is the syslog number, and you can turn off logging for that syslog# by issueing:


no logging message 713137

Hope that helps

Thank you for the answer. I did as you suggested, and so far so good. Hope I will not have any more problems with this log.
