Tunnels going down at a particular time daily

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 Tzoombie2b0r@$2b!t0moru& address x.x.x.x

crypto isakmp key Lom!LurmlOM!lURMbozodeeclown address x.x.x.x

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.

What are your IOS versions? We had something similar happen when we had 12.4... connecting to 12.3... Do you have the same keepalive configured on both sides? Do you have the problem if you take the keepalive off of your GRE tunnel interfaces? I have also experienced similar issues when using CEF on my public interface.

Hi, here is someting that we use on our tunnels for intermittent EIGRP relationship transitions. You can give it a try. It has to be configured on both ends of the connection.

interface Tunnel22

ip address xxxxxxxxxxxx

ip tcp adjust-mss 1370 - set the mtu without ip header to 1370 (this eliminates fragmentation)

ip hello-interval eigrp xxxx 10 - lower the number of eigrp transitions that are frequent on VPN links

ip hold-time eigrp xxxx 120 - lower the number of eigrp transitions that are frequent on VPN links

tunnel source Loopback100

tunnel destination xxxxxxxxx
