Fixed In:

Opened: Jul 06, 2016 Severity: 3-Major
Setting max data limit transmitted (in kilobytes) to a very large limit results in a smaller limit, causing SAs to expire too quickly. Values for ike-phase2-lifetime-kilobytes inside ipsec-policy can reach 2^32-1 kilobytes, but will be processed incorrectly, as if the value were smaller.
Negotiated SAs expire too quickly when size lifetime is calculated too small.
When lifetime-kilobytes is large enough, it can act as though it were smaller.
Before the fix, decrease lifetime-kilobytes until properly stable.
The fix should make every value no more than 4294967295 kilobytes work correctly, without becoming some smaller value. (Note this value is 2^32-1.) If the size of ike-phase2-lifetime-kilobytes becomes 64-bit in the future, this will also work, causing a 64-bit value for kilobytes to occur in isakmp negotiation.
