Hi,

I have tunnel setup. with Strongswan 4.5.3

I am trying to renegotiate the SA using soft-life expiry by sending netlink
message XFRM_MSG_EXPIRE.



Linux receives the netlink message as below:

Command: ip xfrm monitor

Expired src 192.168.67.1 dst 192.168.67.2

     proto esp spi 0x05e547c2 reqid 0 mode transport

     replay-window 0

     sel src 192.168.50.0/24 dst 192.168.51.0/24

     hard 0



Below message is also printed by Strongswan (Pluto running in debug mode)

“received a XFRM_MSG_EXPIRE”



However, I do not see any further messages which indicate update SA or
re-negotiation happening between the two endpoints.

Even packet capture shows that OLD spi being used.


 Is soft-life expiry using netlink message XFRM_MSG_EXPIRE support working
in StrongSwan?



Thanks,

Digambar
