We have an ASA 5510 setup with 3 site-to-site tunnels. 2 of the 3 work great and we have no problems sending data back and forth. The third however seems to not be working correctly.

The third tunnel is a tunnel to another company which also uses an ASA 5510, they are using the latest IOS (8.x) for it and we are one full version behind (7.07). We have the tunnel open for two servers: A & B. A is on our side B is on theirs. We use a program that sends HL7 data between the two servers. After 56 minutes the connection between the two servers gets killed and then starts right back up again only to be killed after 56 minutes again. I noticed in the ASA logs the tunnel is getting reset: . Reason: IPSec SA Idle Timeout. What is strange though is this is happening at night when NO real data is being transmitted. Also my SA timeout is set to the default 86400 seconds. Any suggestions?

Much Appreciated!

Under the group policy for you lan 2 lan connection change the vpn-idle-timeout parameter to none. This should fix your issue. You may want to ensure the remote side is configured the same also.
