Contivity to SonicWall VPN

[carlosmcse]

I have a Contivity 1740 on 1 side and a SonicWall TZ170 both systems running the latest firmware. I was able to setup a IPSEC VPN tunnel between both of these devices. The problem is that the SonicWall has a 2 phase authentication, I only have one subnet behind the SonicWall but when I look at the Contivity session status the connected subnets keeps increasing becuas everey 8 hours when the IKE key expires this number increases causing the tunnel to stop working after it reaches about 200 connected subnets. Does anybody have any ideas on how to deal with this second phase connection on the SonicWall? I even disabled the IKE instead of using the default 8hrs i changed to 00:00:00 (disabled) but the Sonicwall keeps connecting.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Perhaps it would be wise to post this in the Sonicwall forum:

Another thought is to make sure that the tunnel is not "nailed up". Allowing the tunnle to tear down when not needed may help clear the bogus networks.
