VPN IPSec VTI interface with Cisco router

,

Hi,

I currently had established Vy0S VPN ipsec with vti interface with our client (Cisco)
Then we route traffic by BGP peering.

My issue is the link is establish for few hours then ipsec phase 2 suddenly down.

From Cisco log :-

After I do “restart vpn” on Vy0S router the ipsec phase is up but only for few hours.
Please help to advise.

Hi @zakwan ,
Try changing the IKE lifetime.
If that doesn’t help, attach your Cisco and VyOS configs and we’ll see.

Hi Nikolay,

Our client found the issue in their firewall policy. The issue now resolve.

Thank you :ok_hand:t3:
