IPSEC ikev2-send-p2-delete

GnContente — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 19:45:58 GMT

Hi all, I have a IKEv2 IPSEC from PA to PA Firewall with tunnel monitoring enabled on one end. The tunnel suddenly went and the peer with no tunnel monitor is sending every 4 seconds a ikev2-send-p2-delete.

What could be the reasons behind this behaviour?

Regards

@GnContente,

Have you looked at your ikemgr.log file and verified that you aren't seeing a key delete or anything like that? That would be the first place to start looking.

less mp-log ikemgr.log

As i mention initially, this repeats every 4 seconds. Both phases are up on both ends of the tunnel, however on the side of the tunnel were tunnel monitor is enabled, the tunnel interface is down and there is no decaps

On the other end apart from not having tunnel monitor enabled everything appears to be fine, i see packets encap and decap

This tunnel was working fine until it started to behave wierd.

@GnContente,

selector VPN-PH2_BRB-P_T1018 src is ambiguous, using the first one of the expanded addresses

I'd look at your Peer and Local identification configuration and make sure that they actually match on both ends, or the proxy configuration if you have one.
