Unfortunately which is also our DNS server for VPN and non VPN clients. It seems that this version of Cisco VPN Client uses different DPD algorithm, which is similar to ASA &#8220;semi-periodic&#8221; DPD. I.e. the VPN Client sends its R-U-THERE message to a peer if the peer was idle for approximately ten seconds. The VPN Client may have nothing to send to the peer, but DPD is still sent if the peer is idle.<\/p>\n<p>Hand editing the file to the correct name fixed the problem for me.

ASA may have nothing to send to the peer, but DPD is still sent if the peer is idle. If the VPN session is comletely idle the R-U-THERE messages are sent every seconds. Another caveat is that you cannot disable DPD completely. DPD is always negotiated, even if not configured or disabled in ISAKMP profile with &#8220;no keepalive&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it is possible to configure DPD in ISAKMP profiles. The caveat, however, is that there are no &#8220;periodic&#8221; and &#8220;on-demand&#8221; configuration options. So, the ISAKMP profile will inherit global setting.<\/p>\n<p>I am having the same problem now that we have moved to Anyconnect 4.4 and seeing the exact same issue. This host routes disappears once I disconnect from the VPN. So I believe host tries to reach DNS sever over wrong address. The most common problem with DPD is Windows or network firewall that blocks server to client communications over UDP. Causes the VPN Client to negotiate NAT-T, even if there is no NAT device involved in the connection attempt. This helps with some firewalls&#8217; disconnecting the VPN Client unexpectedly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a condition where you have recurring and persistent ideas that make you do repetitive actions.<\/li>\n<li>Enabling this feature will prevent users from disabling the Windows Web Security service.<\/li>\n<li>This host routes disappears once I disconnect from the VPN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u30ea\u30e2\u30fc\u30c8 \u30a2\u30af\u30bb\u30b9 SSL VPN\uff08Cisco AnyConnect\uff09\u3092\u8a2d\u5b9a\u3059\u308b<\/h2>\n<p>After some number of retransmitted messages, an implementation should assume its peer to be unreachable and delete IPSec and IKE SAs to the peer. I only saw the issue on the mobile Anyconnect clients the PC clients were unaffected. Thanks for that &#8211; I noticed the TLSv1.2 cipher was set to medium &#8211; when all the others were AES128-SHA only (which is what it should be). We have just upgrade to the Cisco recommended release (9.4(2)11) and found this issue only affects the Mobile Anyconnect client.<\/p>\n<p>If I set the logging messages to debugging I can see that the device selects the correct trustpoint, but it doesn&#8217;t extract anything from the certificate.

Specifically, DPD is negotiated via an exchange of the DPD ISAKMP Vendor ID payload, which is sent in the ISAKMP MM messages 3 and 4 or ISAKMP AM messages 1 and 2. DPD Requests are sent as ISAKMP R-U-THERE messages and DPD Responses are sent as ISAKMP R-U-THERE-ACK messages. I have imported the .cer from the CA and the identity certificate has only server authentication as it&#8217;s usage.<\/p>\n<h2>Known Issues<\/h2>\n<p>In this case the router will answer DPD requests with R-U-THERE-ACK, but will not initiate DPD requests with R-U-THERE (&#8220;one-way&#8221; mode). If the peer doesn&#8217;t respond with the R-U-THERE-ACK the router starts retransmitting R-U-THERE messages every seconds with a maximum of five retransmissions. Thus the RFC doesn&#8217;t define specific DPD timers, retry intervals, retry counts or even algorithm to be used to initiate a DPD exchange. Almost everything is left to an implementation. I have confirmed a cause of the unsuccessful name resolution error message that is not as much a DNS issue as a configuration mis-match between preferences.xml and .xml. The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client provides remote users with secure VPN connection.<\/p>\n<h2>Moderators<\/h2>\n<p>Also, this parameter is mentioned in the DDTS CSCso05782. Testing reveals that DPD bahavior is not changed whether you set it to 0 or 1 (at least on Windows XP). I am currently facing a problem regarding AnyConnect authentication with AAA+certificate. The error is related to what AnyConnect administrators changed &#8220;since last time&#8221;. There was a static port address translation of port 443 on ASA internet interface that was directed to some web interface on the internal network.<\/p>\n<h2>DPD in IPSec VPN Client 4.8 &#8211; 5.0.04.0300<\/h2>\n<p>By contrast, with DPD, each peer&#8217;s DPD state is largely independent of the other&#8217;s. A peer is free to request proof of liveliness when it needs it &#8211; not at mandated intervals. This asynchronous property of DPD exchanges allows fewer messages to be sent, and this is how DPD achieves greater scalability.<\/p>\n<p>This basically means that R-U-THERE messages are not sent if the VPN session is completely idle or the peer responds in a timely manner. Connecting to another region (different set of VPN HEs) caused a new file to be downloaded, and then we were able to connect to the original HEs. We don&#8217;t know why the anyconnect.xml file became corrupted, but this fixed the problem in all cases. While I never had a specific answer to the root cause of this issue, the client ended up formatting the computer and reinstalling windows.<\/p>\n<p>IKE peer should send an R-U-THERE query to its peer if it is interested in the liveliness of this peer. An implementation might even define the DPD messages to be at regular intervals following idle periods. An implementation can initiate a DPD exchange (i.e., send an R-U-THERE message) when there has been some period of idleness, followed by the desire to send outbound traffic. Likewise, an entity can initiate a DPD exchange if it has sent outbound IPSec traffic, but not received any inbound IPSec packets in response. A complete DPD exchange (i.e., transmission of R-U-THERE and receipt of corresponding R-U-THERE-ACK) will serve as proof of liveliness until the next idle period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you for your comment, but the issue is anyconnect client assigns this route by using the DHCP server of physical host not the VPN client.
