following scenario: | | LAN A | .-------+-------. | Firewall A | | and | | VPN-gateway A | +-------+-------+ |\ | \ | public IP A | ====== inet ====== | | public IP B |/ .-----+------. | Firewall B | +-----+------+ | | NAT public IP B <-> private IP B | | private IP B |/ .-------+-------. | VPN-Gateway B | +-------+-------+ | | LAN B |
now the situation: establishing a VPN connection between LAN A and LAN B works fine. i run this scenario for nearly four years. since release 3.5 the problem occurs that the tunnel on gateway B (the natted one behind the separate firewall) falls down. a 'netstat -rnf encap' then shows Routing tables Encap: Source Port Destination Port Proto SA(Address/Proto/Type/Direction) and no ping comes through although isakmpd is still running! i run a script every 3 minutes that in such case kills isakmpd and restarts it. the failing of the tunnels happens with NAT-T activated as well as without. does that have something to do with any lifetime settings? i dont yet wanna bother you with my isakmpd.conf but i post it of wished. is there anyone who experienced the same or has a clue about that?
