VPN point to point

Hi.
I have a Pfsense with version 2.7, configure 2 vpn point, they work correctly, but one falls after a while and does not lift if I do not deactivate both points and activate them again.
Someone can tell me what may be going on.
Thank you -

What type of VPN?
What logged when it fails?
What is logged when it tries to come back up?
Steve

I have a pfsence 2.7 with 2 vpn tunnel at the end of the tunnel there is a cisco 881, the tunnel is ipsec.
But one of the tunnels stops working and only resumes if I disable both tunnels and activate them again
I'm going to pass you the log tomorrow so you see it
thank you
-
If there are no logs showing it trying to come back up and failing then perhaps there is no traffic to initiate it.

-
That looks like the same side of the tunnel. Do you have any logs from the other side?
-
Do you want any record on the side of the cisco?
-
Any errors shown. From the pfSense logs it looks like the other side is either not seeing packets we are sending or is rejecting them.

Ok, I'll send them to you tomorrow, because now it's up and working.
-
you can pass me an email where you reverse a full video of the error

You can upload files for me here: https://nc.netgate.com/nextcloud/index.php/s/ai7Km5LsYWZRQMf

I already uploaded the file -
Hmm, nothing instantly jumps out but something that can cause a connection to succeed once then fail is an encryption mismatch at phase2. If it matches phase1 it will initially use that for phase2 in an IKEv2 connection but then fail at rekey. Check that.
It could also be something con figured with more allowed at one end. So pfSense will allow connections that configured with one of the enabled algorithms but the other end might only have one.
If you can copy/paste the complete logs from when it's failing it's much easier to review than a video.

When does it fail, after how long? When it first rekeys?

I pick it up at 7 am and at 14 pm it falls off and I pick it up again manually. If you think I can give you access to see the team as a whole, my English is not very good

Mmm, it looks like the re-auth time is ~7h so that lines up; it fails at re-auth.
Really I would want to see the full log from both sides covering the time where it tries to re-auth and fails.
I would also compare the VPN config from both sides carefully. It looks like one side allows connections the other side would refuse.
The error shown is a key mismatch:

But since it can connect when pfSense establishes the tunnel that appears to be correct. Unless somehow Cisco has multiple keys.Steve

This started after the update of pfsense to 2.7 before the configurations were in des and md5, what generates noise is that the other point works correctly the problem is only this point
