IPSec with Multi-Wan

Macom2007

Hi,

i have IPSec working in a Multi-Wan environment except one thing. After primary Gateway gets down, i have to restart racoon manually because of the old SAD and SPD entries. Is there a way to automate this ?

Regards

How did you have it working? Using a failover group as the interface?

We have worked a lot on the failover/failback code this week, it's possible some of the latest fixes (including one I just pushed about 20 minutes ago) will help with this.

Yes, i use a failover group. I am going to get the latest snapshot now to see if your latest changes are fine …

Best regards

It is not working with latest snapshot. After primary wan failure the IPSec tunnel gets refreshed and the SAD gets also fine. But the SPD stays on the old tunnel endpoints.

After a manual restart of racoon on the multi-wan side the tunnel is up after 1 minute.

I am in snapshot :

Maybe it is a timing issue. The logs show that first the IPSec tunnel is reloading and then the DynDns update is performed ?

I got it working. I modified the rc.newipsecdns script in /etc. I added

sleep(15) and
vpn_ipsec_force_reload();
