    Hello, Your VPN is configured to use DPD (Dead Peer Dectection). DPD generates keepalive packets at regular interval and wait an answer from the remote peer. If no there' s no answer, the local device tear down the IPSec session. First, check BOTH devices about DPD settings (retry count and retry interval). Even if it' s not recommended you can also try to disable DPD (on both side). Regards, HA

    Keep in mind , 9 out of 10 times, DPD is enabled and negoiated during the ipsec setup. I don' t think that' s the reason for the ESP error. DPD is mutual-neg before the ESP SA and with in IKE setup and with the vendor capabilities. Also if the DPD keepalive interval are not set correctly , they can reflect lost of neighborship.

    Hi, The IPSec Phase2 is going down BECAUSE the DPD fails. It' s written in the log... In fact, some platform, like Checkpoint, doesn' t support DPD. As said before, DPD keepalive timers must be configured correctly... Regards, HA

    Hi... I' m having issues with dial-up vpn connections dropping. You mentioned that " DPD timers must be configured correctly" . Can you please elaborate on that? How would I determine the " correct" settings? My thought would be that setting retry 10 and interval 15, one side or the other would have to miss 10 probes over a 2 1/2 minute time span for dpd to fail. Is that not correct?
