Thanks, I've updated the config with the following:
keylife=20m ikelifetime=2h
I'll see how that goes.
In the mean time, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try setting lower keyexpiry time on other endpoint.

Hello,
I'm cross posting this from the OpenSwan mailing list, in case someone here can help.
We have two sites connected via OpenSwan 2.6.32-9 on CentOS 5, sharing 6 /24 subnets each (so 12 in total).
The problem we're having is completely randomly, be it in the middle of the day, or in the middle of the night (so I don't believe it's traffic related), certain (and sometimes all) routes will drop. They usually recover after a few minutes, but it's still long enough for our monitoring to detect downtime.
The configuration we have on each device is:
conn site-a keyingtries=0 keylife=1h ikelifetime=8h left=1.1.1.1 right=2.2.2.2
leftsubnets={x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24}
rightsubnets={x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24,x.x.x.x/24} pfs=yes auto=start authby=secret dpddelay=30 dpdtimeout=120 dpdaction=hold phase2alg=aes256-sha1;modp1536 phase2=esp ike=aes256-sha1;modp1536
It's mirrored exactly the same on the other side.
I have tried changing the dead peer detection timeout to something high (5 minutes), and removing it completely (which I believe defaults it to 30 seconds), neither of which made any difference.
I can't see any very obvious errors in the logs, however the most recent drop out produced the following message around the same time:
Feb 10 00:53:09 site-b-vpn pluto[30584]: "site-a/5x5" #39: max number of retransmissions (2) reached STATE_QUICK_I1 Feb 10 00:53:09 site-b-vpn pluto[30584]: "site-a/5x5" #39: starting keying attempt 2 of an unlimited number Feb 10 00:53:09 site-b-vpn pluto[30584]: "site-a/5x5" #95: initiating Quick Mode PSK+ENCRYPT+TUNNEL+PFS+UP+IKEv2ALLOW+SAREFTRACK to replace #39 {using isakmp#52 msgid:119495de proposal=AES(12)_256-SHA1(2)_160 pfsgroup=OAKLEY_GROUP_MODP1536}
and also

Before we move to another solution, does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be? Running a constant ping between the two hosts doesn't drop *any* packets (even when the IPSec connection itself drops out).
Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
