Tunnels going down

We do have an IPSec tunnels created on a 2621 router. Recently we are facing a problem. The EIGRP relationship (the Tunnels) are going down at a particular time every day (around 10:45 am local time daily)

The configuration on the router is as follows:

Router_IPsec#sh runn

crypto isakmp policy 1

encr 3des

hash md5

authentication pre-share

crypto isakmp key xxxx address x.x.x.x

crypto isakmp key xxxx address x.x.x.x

crypto ipsec transform-set myset-3des-comp esp-3des esp-md5-hmac comp-lzs

Actually this setup is working fine for quite some days and we are even tracking the internet link which has no drops at all. But only the tunnels are going down at times on this router that too like a planned periodic time (daily 10:45 a.m. local time)

Please help me out asap.

Hi,

Sometimes this issue is related to the bandwidth of your tunnel, this is most probably your case here, please try to re-adjust the bandwidth to something higher... e.g.

Router_IPsec(config)# interface tunnel 0

Router_IPsec(config-if)# bandwidth 10000

Router_IPsec(config-if)# interface tunnel 1

Router_IPsec(config-if)# bandwidth 10000

Let me know how it goes after that, and please rate this post if it was useful!

That doesn't make sense to me. Bandwidth is used for metric calculation, and would have no impact on tunnel bouncing... you could set it to 1 or 1000000 and nothing would change other than the route metric.

I have seen something like this before and it was to do with the isakmp policy lifetime... If you do a show crypto isakmp policy, what is the lifetime set to?

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay in response. I just got it rectified recently and the prime issue was with the service provider. Ours is a DSL internet connection and they have got some scheduled switchover task in one of their devices which was affecting. I've got them the time adjusted to the early hours and hence no more interruption to my users.

Regards,

Subhash.

i was also facing same problem with my network, check if someone testing with EIGRP Neighbors at any other location.
