PIX to Endian VPN Tunnel

tlago

Level 1

I have a L2L VPN tunnel setup to a supplier running an Endian FW, it is very basic, on our side we have a Cisco PIX 515E running

Cisco PIX Security Appliance Software Version 8.0(4) 
Device Manager Version 6.1(5)5

The tunnel works, however it only stays up for one minute or so, then drops and the tunnel is re established, here is the tunnel config from the Cisco PIX:

crypto ipsec transform-set cl-vpn esp-aes-256 esp-sha-hmac 
crypto ipsec transform-set ESP-AES-256-MD5 esp-aes-256 esp-md5-hmac

crypto ipsec transform-set ESP-DES-MD5 esp-des esp-md5-hmac 
crypto ipsec transform-set ESP-AES-192-MD5 esp-aes-192 esp-md5-hmac

Here is the ACL for the crypto map:

Here is the output from the debug when the traffic drops and the tunnel is re established:

Like I said, the tunnel works fine for a minute or so, if you run a constant ping, it will send between 50-60 packets, then drop 2, and pick right up again, it's fine for icmp, but its hell on other protocols.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim,


The VPN configuration looks correct - I would check the following things:

1)  make sure the other side doesn't have any 'health monitoring' for our tunnel, that has caused issues in the past

2)  Make sure the other side is encrypting the same traffic (and not restricting ports/protocols) as that has caused issues in the past.

After that, I would get a 'debug crypto ipsec 255' from when the issue occurs (you're getting a 'no proposal chosen' - but we don't know what they're proposing'.  This may generate quite a bit of output, so be prepared to capture it.
