I have a IKE1 tunnel setup.
Life time for ph1 and ph2 is 8 hours.
For some reason the other end drops at 6 hours .. not sure why.
But the PA keeps the tunnel up. I have confirmed this numerious times screen sharing situation and I can confirm that no packets have come from the other side for over 30 min. My DPD is set 10 2 ... in 20 sec it should have seen no IKE heart beat messages and droped the tunnel.
So my limited understanding of ipsec, is the DPD using interanl - so ike message - to send a heart beat..
Am I wrong ?
If i turn on monitoring which i understand send a icmp from my end to dest, it detects and brings the tunnel down and restarts but this causes an outage - a rekeying doesn't.
in fact if I leave it for 2 hours it fixes it self when the ipsec tunnel on my end renews keys !

Not exactly. DPD is used to monitor Phase 1, not Phase 2, and it's not a persistent heart-beat like communication. The only time DPD will send an R_U_THERE message is during a Phase 2 re-key event.

Okay - that would explain why it doesn't do anything when the tunnel stops working !
Okay so the best thing is to go back to monitoring
