RE: SPA-IPSEC-2G

Does the tunnel come up, but no traffic passes? There are a few things to try:

1. Disable the Crypto Accelerator and run in software mode to see if you can get the tunnels up and passing traffic. If yes, you may need to experiment with the settings on your Accelerator before re-enabling it (see option 2).
2. Try experimenting with different Phase 2 transforms. I've only seen an issue like this with ISRs on 12.4 using a VPN Accelerator, but essentially I couldn't run 3DES and had to either run AES or just DES before it would work - that or run in software mode.

Hope this helps,

Hello group,

Need help troubleshooting this one. One 7600 was upgraded from 12.2.18SXE1 to 12.2.33SRB2 and now the SPA-IPSEC-2G is not encrypting
the traffic. In fact the module seems healthy but something is missing in the outputs bellow:

------------------------------------------------------------------
7606#show crypto eli

Hardware Encryption : ACTIVE
 Number of hardware crypto engines = 1

 CryptoEngine SPA-IPSEC-2G[3/0] details: state = Active
 Capability :
     IPSEC: DES, 3DES, AES, RSA

 IKE-Session : 0 active, 16383 max, 0 failed
 DH : 0 active, 9999 max, 0 failed
 IPSec-Session : 0 active, 65534 max, 0 failed

What troubleshooting steps should i take ? The SPA is used to accelerate IPSec Virtual Tunnel Interfaces (IPsec VTIs). Here's the
configuration of one tunnel interface:

!
interface Tunnelx
 ip unnumbered Loopbackx
 tunnel source x.x.x.x
 tunnel destination x.x.x.x
 tunnel mode ipsec ipv4
 tunnel protection ipsec profile CRYPTO-IPSEC-PROFILE
 crypto engine gre vpnblade
 crypto engine slot 3/0 inside
!

Thanks.
