Hello Réne,
Yes, that is correct.
Kind regards

Hi Noel
Does this mean that dpddelay and dpdtimeout obsolete?
Sorry, I did not understand the documentation at the first attempt, I think, I
understand now. It is only about the retransmissions. I try to set the global
timeouts sharper.
But the log in the original posting indicates that the remote station is no
longer responding or am I wrong?
Kind regards

Hi Noel
Thank you very much.
With IKEv2 the global ikev2 timeouts are used.
See https://docs.strongswan.org/docs/6.0/config/retransmission.htm
Ok. Does this mean that dpddelay and dpdtimeout obsolete?
What about dpdaction=restart, will this remain in ipsec.conf?
Kind regards

Change charon.retransmit_base, charon.retransmit_jitter,
charon.retransmit_limit, charon.retransmit_timeout, charon.retransmit_tries as
required to achieve the desired timeout.
See https://docs.strongswan.org/docs/6.0/config/retransmission.html for details

2022-10-20 09:34:13 restart ipsec
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The remote side is pinged from once per minute, if this fails two consecutive
times ipsec is restarted on the local side (this is what you see at the end, we
can also remove this).
How should we interpret the log. Does ipsec on the remote side simply no longer
respond? Or is that to be understood differently?
What we also do not understand:
We have
ikelifetime=86400
keylife=1090
fragmentation=yes
mobike=yes
dpddelay=2
dpdtimeout=10
dpdaction=restart
rekeymargin=3m
keyingtries=%forever
keyexchange=ikev2
Why is ipsec not restarted locally with the above dpd-settings?
Best regards
René
