IPsec tunnel establishment failed

Symptom

The ACLs and IKEv2 proposals are correctly configured on both ends. The two ends cannot establish an IPsec tunnel or cannot communicate through the established IPsec tunnel.

Analysis

The IKEv2 SA or IPsec SAs on either end are lost. The reason might be that the network is unstable and the device reboots.

Solution

  1. Use the display ikev2 sa command to examine whether an IKEv2 SA exists on both ends. If the IKEv2 SA on one end is lost, delete the IKEv2 SA on the other end by using the reset ikev2 sa command and trigger new negotiation. If an IKEv2 SA exists on both ends, go to the next step.

  2. Use the display ipsec sa command to examine whether IPsec SAs exist on both ends. If the IPsec SAs on one end are lost, delete the IPsec SAs on the other end by using the reset ipsec sa command and trigger new negotiation.
