[vpn] Nokia Crypto Cluster <-> Cisco 1720

[Raymakers, Guy]

Joel,

I'm using the same setup, some  CC2500 central and some Cisco 1720's remote.
It appears that the IKE negotiations and IKE renewal take some time.
Therefore, I see sometimes that there's a gap of +- 2 a 3 minutes in the
connections between these two systems. I've done some checking on this and
the only explanation I've found is that the Cisco box is setting up a new
IKE SA just before the existing one is expiring. That seems to confuse the
nokia box and that's when the VPN connection is lost for a while. Have you
seen the same behavior ?

Best regards,
Guy

Our company wrote the training materials for the Nokia
products.  I'd be happy to help.  Drop me an email.
The short answer is that you should have no problems---the
CC product line is very compliant with the RFCs, and while
there are certain restrictions in the Cisco commands for
setting this sort of stuff up, none of those will cause any
grief with the Nokia boxes.
