I have an iPsec VPN that's connected to Rackspace, it randomly disconnects every hour/5min/4 hours could be anything. When I ping one if the internal addresses over the VPN one packet will drop it then reconnects itself and receives replies.
Here is what I'm seeing in the logs when it's disconnected:
"S_REF_IpsSitRackspace_0"[1] 89.234.57.186 #159: max number of retransmissions (20) reached STATE_MAIN_I1. No response (or no acceptable response) to our first IKE message
2014:08:29-07:26:48 UTM-1 pluto[19469]: "S_REF_IpsSitRackspace_0"[1] 'IP ADDRESS' #159: starting keying attempt 42 of an unlimited number
2014:08:29-07:26:48 UTM-1 pluto[19469]: "S_REF_IpsSitRackspace_0"[1] IP ADDRESS#162: initiating Main Mode to replace #159
2014:08:29-07:26:48 UTM-1 pluto[19469]: packet from IP ADDRESS:500: ignoring informational payload, type NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN
I have DPD on and NAT tried turning them off doesn't make a difference maybe seemed to stay connected longer but that's all. I turned on probe PSK because I read a Sophos kb about it as well.
VPN is respond only with PSK.
Any clues as to why this is happening? This was originally migrated from a Juniper SRX by a Sophos. Now I can't confirm if this happened on the SRX as we didn't receive alerts, or even if it's chasing a problem other than getting lots of alerts to say it's up and down.
Thanks
