I have set up a platform (consisting of 2x ASR1001X) routers as Flexvpn DVTI hubs to terminate different remote sites (mostly ISR1000, but also older C886s) into different VRFs. The authorization backend is a Freeradius.

Enclosed my Hub Config

and the Spoke site:

crypto ikev2 client flexvpn default

  no backup group
  client connect Tunnel1
!
crypto ikev2 authorization policy default
 no route set interface
 route set remote ipv4 10.240.1.32 255.255.255.255

!
crypto ikev2 profile Flex_IKEv2
 match identity remote fqdn domain ***.com
 identity local email ***@***.com
 authentication remote rsa-sig
 authentication local pre-share key *****
 pki trustpoint TP-VPN
 dpd 60 10 periodic
 aaa authorization user cert list default default
!
crypto ipsec profile default
 set ikev2-profile Flex_IKEv2
!
! 
! 
!
interface Tunnel1
 ip address negotiated
 ip mtu 1400
 ip tcp adjust-mss 1300
 tunnel source GigabitEthernet0/0/1
 tunnel destination dynamic
 tunnel path-mtu-discovery
 tunnel protection ipsec profile default

i excluded the whole PKI/AAA/RADIUS stuff because the plain authentication is working fine.

The story works fine as long as the spoke site has a public IP address on the internet. But as soon as the device is behind a NAT I can't get a tunnel anymore.

The hub router logs following hints

Mar 10 15:59:36.976: IKEv2-ERROR:: A supplied parameter is incorrect
Mar 10 15:59:37.692: IKEv2-ERROR:Couldn't find matching SA: Detected an invalid IKE SPI 

Mar 10 15:59:50.443: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Virtual-Access4, changed state to down
Mar 10 15:59:50.455: IKEv2:% DVTI Vi4 created for profile FLEX-BOX-1 with PSH index 2.

Mar 10 15:59:50.455: IKEv2:IPSec policy validate request sent for profile FLEX-BOX-1 with psh index 2.

Mar 10 15:59:50.456: IKEv2:(SA ID = 2):[IPsec -> IKEv2] Callback received for the validate proposal - FAILED.

as soon as i turn back to a WAN access where the Spoke-Side Router has an non-NAT globally reachable address everything works fine again.

any ideas what this could be or how to isolate the root-cause of my problem?

  • I have done some research and I think the problem is that I have not defined SA on the hub router. I have the "Remote Network" transmitted from the spoke site and accept it via the RADIUS attribute: "Cisco-AVPair = ipsec:route-set=interface". The routing on the spoke router itself is static.

Solved it...

after monitoring some Packets and noticed a lot of retransmissions we solved the issue by setting

crypto ikev2 fragmentation
