      I have pfSense 2.4.4 p2 on two sides of an IPSEC ikev2 tunnel that is using PSK. During phase 2 rekey it takes around 3 mintues for the tunnel to come back up. During that time, the new phase 2 sits there and shows bytes out but no bytes in. I have tried both Tunnel and VTI and both have the same trouble. I am running CARP on one side of the tunnel.

      I tinkered with the settings over and over trying new things. I settled for increasing my Phase 1 and Phase 2 lifetimes to minimize outages. I want to learn more about how to troubleshoot this issue. What other things should I be looking at?

      I have gone as far as to destroy the tunnel setting on both side and restarting several times.

      Thanks

        Hey
        show the logs where you can see what happens during the process of Rekeying

            Looks like this side is doing everything it is supposed to all at second :15.

            What are you seeing that gives you the impression that it is taking 3 minutes?

            Perhaps it has something to do with the way you configured the HA cluster.

            That log right there looks absolutely fine.

              It does pass traffic for 3 minutes. I have a continuous ping running at the time of the rekey. It takes approximately 3 minutes before the traffic passes. On both sides of the tunnel the VPN Status indicates Bytes in as 0.

                  If bytes in is 0 we need to see the other side.

                  Packet capture ICMP on the IPsec interface. Do you see the echo requests going out and no reply?

                    The other side say no bytes in also.

                      The pattern I see everytime is Phase 1 connects. A single Phase 2 comes up. I can ping for a minute through the tunnel. Another Phase 2 comes up. I can not ping. Bytes-in on both sides displays 0. Then 3 minutes later I can ping through the tunnel. Only the second Phase 2 is actually active. The first Phase 1 is never destroyed.

                        If I am using VTI for phase 2 along with CARP would I need to create a VIP for for the tunnel?

                          No. The tunnel interface addresses are specified in the Phase 2 configuration.
