Continuous initiating IKE_SA

Hello,
We are having some issues with an IPSec VPN between vyos and azure.
While the VPN is still up, vyos is initiating a lot (every 2/3 minutes) of IKE_SA as shown in those logs :

Also we are having frequent (around 1 per day for few minutes) disconnection with that VPN.

    }

Any idea of what could cause this issue ?
Thanks

Hi ale,

Can you try enabling pfs (Perfect Forward Secrecy) and having the same values on both sides?
