check the settings on the office fw...

It look like you UDP session (IPSec over UDP in your case) has expired.

Also check "crypto isakmp keepalive ..." on the ASA.

thanks for the quick reply,

please find the ASA configuration attached, their is no keepalive is configured & pls explain briefly what i need to check in my office fw

Dear your pfs is disabled in group policies.

please check and type crypt isakmp keepalive as well.

can u pls explain or give the link about the use of this commands pfs & keepalive

FYI: we have L2L vpn, it is working no issues

my issue is RA VPN & my client also facing the same issue, as i said earlier from my home it is working no problem, In my office we using fortigate fw whether any changes needs to be done here

Gandhi,

With regard to your problem - it seems like after an hour the UDP port gets torn down so your IPSec connection gets disconnected.

If you configure keepalive on the tunnel-group that you are connecting to, this will try to keep up the session using keepalive packets from the server to the client.

If your office firewall blocks those keepalive messages then you have to allow those keepalive messages coming in from the ASA.
