Question

IPSEC auth-timeout

I am looking to view what the timeout session is for an IPSEC VPN network. I haven't came across anything about this here on the forum other than VPN SSL timeout (https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-SSL-VPN-connection-logout-after-8-hours/ta-p/191322?externalID=FD39435). I'd like to extend the session.

 

Is there a way to view/edit this setting? I'm running a Fortigate 80F with FortiOS 7.2.2. I don't see anything in the GUI to changes this. Probably in the CLI?

Hello,

 

Greetings!

 

For IPSec VPN, there is Idle Timeout option available for Phase 1 settings. Details in the documentation below,

 

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.4.2/administration-guide/790613/phase-1-configuration

 

For Phase2, as mentioned below,

 

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Using-the-IPSec-auto-negotiate-and-keepalive/ta-p/189536

 

Unlike SSL VPN, there is no set logout hours for IPSec Tunnels.

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

 

Have a nice day!

 

Regards,

Klint George
