Hi ,
Was trying to find the right board for this discussion. Please redirect to the right board if possible.
We enabled NetPath to monitor a 443 service over a site-to-site VPN between our ASA 5516-X and client's Checkpoint 80.30. As soon as we enable the probe we noticed a very strange traffic coming from the far-end and then the tunnel would flap at random times causing outages to production. It was very hard to find why this was happening but after some painstaking investigations we found that it was definitely the Probe causing it and we replicated it by shutting it down and restarting it to make sure this was the root cause.
The site-to-site tunnel is working fine otherwise and we have no other problems and it happens only after we start the probe. Any ideas on why this would happen? Any help would be appreciated. I have put the logs below and masked the IP addresses only.
