Hi,

We configured remote vpn access in our PA-3020, and we are experiencing some issues with Linux clients. People who are using Global-Protect client work fine, but people who use vpnc client suffer service disruption in SSH or using GIT repositories.

The logs that we have in the system shows this:

  'packet (5) shorter than isakmp header size.'

Does anyone know about this issue and how could we fix it?

Thank you in advance,

Esteban

Hi,

we have the same informational logs. Our configuration is very similar, clients using vpnc clients for connecting trough a tunnel with a PA5050, PANOS 5.0.8, we are near of upgrade to PANOS 6-03, we will see if if the problem persist.

Thank you.

Carlos.

Hello ecardona,


The ISAKMP header is supposed to be 28 bytes, so I think this message is saying that a header received is smaller than 28 bytes.

'packet (5) shorter than isakmp header size.'

Please share output of below command when you are trying to connect via VPNC client

> tail follow yes mp-log ikemgr.log

Thanks.

Hi Mystique,

I really forgot this thread...I gave up, but now when I saw your answer I'm back again with this issue:

Hello Esteban,

Could you take a packet capture on the PAN firewall to verify the ISAKMP header size.

Thanks
