Cisco VPN :: ASA 5510 / VPN Tunnel Drops Due To Inactivity?
Dec 12, 2011
I am using a Cisco ASA 5510. Our tunnels always drop due to inactivity, which is a security issue I understand, and it only takes some "interesting traffic" to bring it back up. My problem is that it looks like the interesting traffic has to originate from my side of the tunnel, when our clients send traffic and the tunnel is down due to inactivity it does not come back up. Is there a setting that I am overlooking that will make it come back up no matter who sends traffic? Or, is there a way to make it stay up through inactivity?

I have VPN Gateway to Gateway VPN tunnels set from my central office to four remote sites. The tunnels have always been problematic. Started out with five Linksys RV042 v2 devices these had problems with handshake, sometimes would disconnect during this process and had to click disconnect button on either device and this wouold force the tunnel to rebuild. Recently upgrade central device to a Cisco RV042 v3 device. Good news is that this seems to have corrected the handshake issue but now each of the remote sites are having problems during periods of inactivity losing tunnel. The staff at the remote site indicate that they have to close out application and restart router to rebuild the tunnel.
All tunnels are Gateway to Gateway static IP addresses. They all will connect and behave as expected until they reach a certian period of inactivity. I have searched all over Cisco, Linksys, and Google have seen problems similar but no consistant or logical solutions so I thought since I am slowly upgrading my network from my initial equipment which was truely purchased based on cost alone to adding more Cisco equipment. However since this is among the first of my upgrade moves and the improved equipment is creating more problems than my older less expensive equipment I needed a solution to the problem before submitting additional PO's to upgrade switches and firewall products.

We have a 100 Mbps WAN circuit, we have configured an IPsec tunnel between ASA 5520 and Cisco 3845 Router for our DR site replication via Veeam Backup and Replication, it was working fine before, when we established the 3DES tunnel the traffic for certain subnets is dropped after an hour and it stops the replication, although tunnel remains up and we can access the other subnets, as soon as we clear the crypto SA and ISAKMP sessions on the firewall the traffic starts flowing again and then after an hour the traffic is dropped again.So far the testing and differnet configurations we tried are as under.
Tried with a different MTU size both on firewall and ESXi servers but nothing happened.Their is no QOS configuration.Checked the utilization on both ends its Noram although their are subsequent 100% spikes on Cisco 3845 but on average it remians at 30-40%.

My main issue was trying to connect virtuelly via GNS3 and my router setup on it. I have three Cisco 2621 XM routers set up. They all came with 2 Fast Ethernet ports. However, only one of them has a Serial port. So, what I'm doing is connecting the routers together with the fast ethernet ports using crossover cables. So, I baselined two routers to start with. Very simple AAA, set up IP HTTP server, IP HTTP Secure Server, etc. Privledge lvl 15 access, etc.
I then set my Router A's inside Fa0/1 port with a 192.168.1.0/24 network. The outside port Fa0/0 is 10.0.0.0/30 network.Router B is set up similar, 192. 168. 2. 0/24 insice Fa0/1, Fa0/0 is 10.0.0.0/30 network outside. So, three networks 192.168.1.0, 192.168.2.0, 10.0.0.0 network. [code] I then repeated the same on Router B, just transposing 2.0 network for interesting traffic, and Peer 10.0.0.2 for the Fa0/0 interface on Router A.When I "test" the tunnel, I get an error message. So, since I'm connected to Router B (which was working, had routing, and had Router A's network 1.0 in it's routing table), the error msg says that I need to add a route into the routing table (192.168.1.0). It was there up until I attempted to put the VPN in place. It's like it stopped the routing.
At face value, it looks like this should be working! But when I debug the ospf process, it looks like hello packets aren't tranversing across to the other side. Is it because I just have the 192.xxx.xxx.xxx networks as "interesting" traffic? Can I have multiple networks marked as "interesting"? I thought that's what the peer statements were doing to allow the tunnel to be established.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a random packet drop issue for an IPSec tunnel between two VTIs. For over a month, we didn't see any issue, and starting today, we have up to 30% packet loss across an IPSec tunnel.
After some analysis, I concluded that the packet loss happens somewhere on the path from the uc520 to the 2921. Packet counts show up correctly on the uc520 physical egress interface, but the packet count is low on the ingress interface on the 2921.
Pings outside the tunnel along the same path are fine.
I also cleared the tunnels on both ends and after they reestablished, the issue was still present.
Any pointers on finding where the packets get lost?

I have seen an error in GRE configured between two routers over WAN. i am monitoring the WAN link and GRe tunnel via WhatsupGold NMS and it reported that Gre tunnel having packet loss sometimes and this time it affects the services and traffic passing over tunnel.sh int t101 shows output drops . is that the problem ? i have read that i have to adjust MTC size but i tried to change the tunnel MTU to 1400 but still sh int t101 shows MTU as 1514 ? What could be the problem of output drops in my tunnel link. [code]

I'm on a Mac connecting to a Cisco ASA 5510 with AnyConnect VPN client.
The connection is established and it works for 15-30 seconds, then the connection drops. AnyConnect will reconnect, and then it works fine.
I noticed in the logs that it reconnects with a smaller packet size.

We currently run dual ASA 5510's in A/S config on our main campus. We would like to create a VPN tunnel to a branch campus. Trying to decide between a 5505/5510/5512x, We would like to extend many of the capabilities of our network to the branch campus which will be 20-50 users on a 50mb/10mb internet connection.
Domain login
System Center workstation management
Cisco WCS
Shoretel voip
(Cisco NAC?)
Several different VLANs for wireless guest, student traffic, staff traffic, voip traffic, etc. Which device would be best and should we get the security plus license with it?

I had a pix that had two working tunnels going to one 5510 and one 5520. Today the VPN tunnel to our 5520 stopped working but if I do sh cry isa sa both tunnels have QM_IDLE as the state. (both ends) I tried to debug crypto isakmp 255 but all I get is PEER_REAPER_TIMER and no other output on the pix side.

We have approx 40 branch offices - all of which are connected to a single core site over VPN Tunnels using various gear. At one particular site, we are having issues with the tunnel dropping sporadically throughout the day - some days it happens 10 times, some days it happens none. This just randomly started happening two weeks ago, without any changes taking place. Since it started happening, I have upgraded the code to latest versions, but still the issue persists. This particular site has a 2901 and connects back to a 2951.
Below is the output from:

We had an issue the other day where doing backups through the firewall (don't ask) caused the "control" session to timeout while the backups were still going on over the "data" connection. This broke the backup about two hours into the job. My first thought was that the backup solution vendor should implement some kind of tcp keepalive for the control connection. A packet capture showed they indeed were -- after 2 hours! Ah ha! Busted! How could they choose such a poor choice of TCP keepalive timer for their application that would not be compatible with the 60 minute inactivity timer that so many firewall vendors use (Cisco, Juniper, Checkpoint and Fortinet all use a default 60 minute inactivity timer for TCP)?
Well, a colleague of mine pointed out that there is actually an old RFC that covers this. RFC 1122. It says:
Keep-alive packets MUST only be sent when no data or acknowledgement packets have been received for the connection within an interval. This interval MUST be configurable and MUST default to no less than two hours.
Now I know that RFC is old (October 1989), but that's all I could find. Is there something that supercedes that? Maybe common sense perhaps? I understand not wanting to fill up your connection table because of mis-behaving applications, but I'm just looking for ammunition to use against the backup solution vendor. Surely they're going to point to this RFC.
ASA(config)# timeout conn ?
configure mode commands/options:
0:0:0 | <0:5:0> - <1193:0:0> Idle time after which a TCP connection state
will be closed, default is 1:00:00
<0-0> Specify this value to never time out

Firewall ASA5510. I'm planning to get one of ASA5510 for our office in order to secure our network properly, however we have quite specific routing configuration to allow us failover to the remote location (data center) in case of any disaster with our server. I'd like to find out if I can just install firewall between our ISP Ruter and internet and allow traffic to/from Data Centre. In this situation will I have to change routing configuration on Company Router or do I have to do anything with our Company Router

I have been struggling to come up with the proper config to do a NAT of an incoming VPN tunnel to a VLAN on my network. I have an ASA 5510 with an IPSEC site-to-site tunnel to a partner network of 166.110.0.0/17.I have several VLANs on the ASA interface behind a cat4500 router (192.168.100.024, 172.16.4.0/24, 166.110.128.0/22 etc). The only network that the partner network sees is the 166.110.128.0/22.My problem is that I need to give them access to a node on my 192.168.100.0/24 net, but can't get the admin on the other side to add a route and adjust his tunnel.

I've a asa 5510 on the main site and different ASA 5505 on secundary sites for VPN tunneling between the sites. The problem is that the tunnels are acomplished but no traffic is going over them. What am i doing wrong? For the moment there is a ASA 5505 on the main site managing the tunnels but I want the 5510 to take over the job.

I don't know if this is in the right section, but I cannot set up a vpn tunnel between an asa 5510 and a cisco rv042 router. I believe the problem is because i need to set up a nat exempt rule on the rv042 route but don't know how.

I have our main site using a Cisco 5510 running 8.4.2 code and a remote site using a Cisco 5505 running 8.4.2 code. The main site has a T1 and the remote site is using a DSL connection. About every other day I have to reset the connection at the remote site. The process that I have found that works is to remove the nat statement, clear the cry ips sa and then add back the nat statement. The connection usually comes back up and a few minutes. I am trying to see what is causing this to drop.

I have an ASA 5510 and I am building a site-to-site vpn tunnel, peer on the other end is a sonicwall. I can initiate the tunnel from my end, but when he tries from his end it fails on phase 2 with this error in the logs:
"Rejecting IPSec tunnel: no matching crypto map entry for remote proxy"
Obviously our crypto map's don't match, i have it restricted to specific ports on my end and he had it wide open on his end, but said he is not sure how to restrict it down to specific ports. My question is why would I be able to bring the tunnel up on my end if the crypto map's don't match and he can't bring it up?

I have an ASA 5510 at V8.2(5) with something near 20 site to site VPN tunnels. I am having a problem with 1 tunnel to a RVS4000. The tunnel is completely closed and reset during Phase2. Here is a small snipet at the time of the tunnel reset
x.x.x.x, Username = x.x.x.x, IP = x.x.x.x, Session disconnected. Session Type: IPsec, Duration: 7h:36m:30s, Bytes xmt: 333755, Bytes rcv: 86281, Reason: User Requested
Followed by Group = x.x.x.x, IP = x.x.x.x, Active unit receives a centry expired event for remote peer x.x.x.x.
We use a number of connection oriented sessions and this blowing them out of the water. all other tunnels are up for DAYS to more than a Month.

I got a stange vpn problem, just added a new vpn tunnel to our ASA5510 and then the users report that the traffic through the tunnel is very slow, when I try it myself I get a speed like 50kb/sec to the internal server.If I use our regular tunnel or any other tunnel the speed is just fine. I´ve added the new tunnel in the same way as the other tunnels, that is thorugh ASDM vpn wizzard.

I have a 5510 and a 5505 that I'm attempting to configure a simple VPN tunnel over. I have tried step by step configurations form CISCO ASA configs, as well as every source I can find. I have walked throught the config with IOS commands as well as Wizards. All my packets are dropped at the the inside or outside interface.
When I show SH ISAKMP command all I get are 0's straight down.

I have 2 Cisco 871 set up to vpn in to an ASA 5510. Everything has worked even when the 871 is behind a nat.
We use these routers to send to employees home for temporary use.
The WAN ports on the 871 are configured to pick up an IP via DHCP.
Office ASA 5510 - Public IP address
WAN - Public IP
Internal - 192.168.1.0/24
|
Internet
|
Home Router
WAN - Public IP
Internal - 192.168.1.0/24
|
Cisco 871 picks up 192.168.1.x on WAN port from user's home router
Internal vlan1 192.168.10.x/24
The problem is - this user's home router is using the same subnet as the internal network at the office. Is there anyway to force traffic bound for 192.168.1.x to go over the VPN tunnel? It does this correctly if the 871's WAN port is not also on the same subnet. The vpn tunnel does come up. And I can ping to and from the router, it's just the clients behind the 871 that cannot ping or access the corp network.

We have a ASA 5510 (v8.2.2 with ASDM 6..4.7, 256Mb mem) with a license for 250 VPN Peers. The machine has currently one site-to-site VPN active. I've added a remote-access IPSec VPN for some users but when connecting from the remote site the connection is dropped and the ASA reports %ASA-4-713239 Tunnel Rejected : The maximum tunnel count allowed has been reached.
I've searched for info relating to this message but I found none. Before I plan a restart (it's up for 222 days), is there something I could do on CLI to fix this ?

I am experiencing slow throughput on a L2L IPsec tunnel that we have between one of our offices on the west coast (WC) US and another on the east coast (EC) US. The tunnel endpoint on the WC resides on a 5510 and a 5545x on the EC. The DIA circuit speed on the WC is 45 Mbps and 200 Mbps on the EC. The throughput of this IPsec tunnel is maxing out at approx. 4 – 5 Mbps. The utilization of the DIA circuits at both offices is under 5% when running various FTP test transfers. Both devices have low memory and CPU utilization.
We have a 2nd office on the EC (45 Mbps DIA) which I built a tunnel on a 5510 with the WC office and it is experiencing the same slow throughput. In covering all my bases we have a colocation facility on the WC and in building a tunnel between the 2 WC offices I WAS seeing close to full line rate speeds over the tunnel. Additionally, I built a tunnel between the 2 EC offices and I saw full line rate speeds. With the physical distance between the WC & EC offices I would expect some loss in throughput speeds but I would not expect it to drop as low as 4 – 5 Mbps. In thinking something may be up with the 5510 in our WC office we shipped a 5505 to the WC office and we built the same IPsec tunnels on it and it is experiencing the same.
In working with our support vendor to try and solve the WC <-> EC throughput issue they had me change the MTU, TCP mss, DF-bit, types of encryption/hash on the IPsec tunnel but nothing has resolved it. We are not showing fragmentation or PMTU issues on the tunnel. In contacting the ISP of our WC office they mentioned that they do not have any type or rate limiting in place. Our WC ISP had a CCIE review our configurations but nothing was found.
