</div>
<div class="">Initiator establishes an IKEv2 tunnel with the Responder which operates correctly until the first “reauthenticating IKE_SA” event occurs, i.e. IKE lifetime expires. Using the default value for ikelifetime so this occurs 2.5 - 3 hours after initial
tunnel establishment. After re-authentication completes, the tunnel continues to work correctly except that DNS is now incorrectly configured on the Initiator, causing DNS name resolution failure.</div>

<div class="">/etc/resolv.conf on the Initiator after the tunnel is established, 10.8.194.96 is the correct DNS nameserver. Note there’s a minor configuration bug on the Responder in that it sends the nameserver configuration twice, this does not seem to cause
any operational problems.</div>

<div class="">1. How to prevent Charon from removing the name server configuration from /etc/resolv.conf in the IKA_SA re-authentication case?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2. Why does the up/down script get invoked during IKE_SA re-authentication? When “make before break” is enabled, the up/down script invocation seems backward/awkward. That is, up/down is invoked with an ‘up’ notification at the initial establishment
of the tunnel, then again with a second ‘up’ notification during the “make before break”, then finally with a ‘down’ notification even though the tunnel is up?!?</div>
