Hi Marc,

Yes, they apply to each IKE_SA individually.
A.M. DpdAction=clear, and multiple interfaces, after one DPD timer expires, it may not clear.
If DpdAction=clear, and single interface, after DPD timer expires, it does clear.

The SA will be automatically restarted.
A.M. after the restart and the interface comes back up, the tunnel indicates ESTABLISHED, but is not useable.

Not sure what you mean.

Tobias
