VPN flapping

L4 Transporter

Hi, we have configured a VPN site-to-site between Juniper SSG and PA3020. The tunnel is flapping up/down. The VPN is well-configured and we have configured VPN monitor with Rekey option in the SSG.  How could we know why the tunnel is flapping all the time???  i attached the PA logs

Could you please provide a output of the command

tail lines 300 mp-log ikemgr.log

Run the above command when rekey is happening. Also make sure that lifetime is matching on both side for both phases.

Phase 2 lifetime should be less than phase 1 lifetime.
