ASA to PIX VPN Error 402120

dan.shalinsky · ‎04-22-2008

Hi,

We're getting the error below (about 3000 per day) on an ASA5520 (7.2.2) when it receives L2L VPN traffic from a PIX-525 (6.3(5)140):

%ASA-4-402120: IPSEC: Received an ESP packet (SPI= 0xB8EE870D, sequence number= 0x534B0) from 10.10.50.4 (user= 10.10.50.4) to 10.10.62.4 that failed authentication.

Both ends are running failover mode. Could this be an issue between PIX-OS versions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

we discovered same problem on L2L VPN between two ASA 8.0.4 - %ASA-4-402120: IPSEC: Received an ESP packet...that failed authentication. We have not only log/error decryption issue but there is problem with transmiting a bigger data loads. What can be behind this "faild authentication"? Any infrastructure problem? Both ASA's are physically connected on some switch. Any ideas?

Thank you!

maybe it's this bug:

CSCsd34052

crash in isakmp_receiver thread during rekey from 7.x peer.
