PIX to Router VPN going down

Hello,

I have recently implemented a site to site dynamic to static VPN between a PIX 500 series 6.3(3), and an 871W router. The PIX is the static side, and the 871W is the dynamic side.

I am having the VPN go down every 24ish hours or so. I believe that I need to do something with DPD, but I haven't been able to find exactly what. Here's part of the config of the 871W-

I feel this could be due to the expiration of "Security Association". If there is no user traffic for a duration longer than the SA lifetime, the SA will expire and the new SA will be formed only when there is a user traffic initiated. Look at the logs for more information on why the VPN is breaking.

You can try configuring "keepalives" between the VPN peers so that the VPN is always on and does not timeout.

"crypto isakmp keepalive 10"
