Subject: [Openswan Users] Openswan and Nortel Interop Problem
The connection randomly goes down at renewals for approx one renewal period.
The only way to fix the connection before the next renewal is to manually reset it.
The pattern is always the same.
For a good renewal:
Phase 1 ISAKMP Main Mode SA renews.
Phase 2 IPSec Quick Mode SA renews.
For a failed renewal:
Phase 2 IPSec Quick Mode SA renews.
Phase 1 ISAKMP Main Mode SA renews.
Old Phase 1 expires and connection is torn down.
I've had this problem for the last 9 months or so.
It has persisted through a number of versions of Openswan and the Nortel switches.
I've tried so many different configurations, that I'm almost certain that it must
be a software bug in one of the switches or an incompatibility between them.
I'm currently running the following, testing with 2 Openswans and 2 Nortels.
Openswan 2.4.6/Linux Kernel 2.4.26 and Linux Kernel 2.4.31/Slackware Linux 10.0+
Nortel (Contivity Extranet/VPN) Switch 600+ Revision V05_00.136

# I have tried many combinations of ikelifetime and keylife

# Nortel only has one setting for both of these Rekey Timeout
# and the connection works best if all 3 are equal.
