## Your Diagnostic Task

### 1. Immediate Diagnosis
Based on the output and symptoms, state the most likely root cause with confidence level. If DMVPN, identify which of the three layers is failing: GRE/mGRE tunnel, NHRP registration/resolution, or IPsec SA.

### 2. IKE Phase 1 Diagnostic (ISAKMP SA)
For [Vendor / OS], provide commands and check for these failures:
- **Policy mismatch**: encryption, hash, DH group, authentication method, lifetime — all must match exactly
- **Authentication failure**: PSK mismatch (check with show crypto isakmp key), certificate not trusted, identity mismatch
- **DH group mismatch**: IKEv2 allows proposal negotiation; IKEv1 requires exact match
- **NAT-T**: if NAT between peers, UDP 4500 must be allowed; check show crypto isakmp sa for NAT-T
- **Lifetime mismatch**: IKEv1 requires match; IKEv2 uses the lower of the two values
- **Dead Peer Detection**: DPD may be tearing down the tunnel; check timers

Platform commands for [Vendor / OS]:
- Cisco IOS/IOS-XE: show crypto isakmp sa, show crypto ikev2 sa, debug crypto condition peer ipv4 <IP>, debug crypto ikev2
- Cisco ASA: show crypto isakmp sa detail, debug crypto isakmp 255, packet-tracer
- Cisco FTD: system support diagnostic-cli, then show crypto isakmp sa
- Palo Alto: show vpn ike-sa gateway <name>, debug ike global on debug
- Juniper SRX: show security ike sa, show security ike stats
- Fortinet: diagnose vpn ike log-filter dst-addr4 <IP>, diagnose debug application ike -1

### 3. IKE Phase 2 Diagnostic (IPsec SA)
- **Transform set mismatch**: esp-aes-256 + esp-sha-256-hmac must match on both sides
- **Proxy ID / traffic selector mismatch**: crypto ACL on IOS must be mirror images; on IKEv2 use traffic-selector
- **PFS mismatch**: if one side has PFS and other does not, Phase 2 fails
- **SPI collision**: rare, seen after rapid rekey cycles; fix with clear crypto sa
- **Anti-replay window**: packets dropped if out of sequence; check show crypto ipsec sa for anti-replay errors

Commands: show crypto ipsec sa (IOS), show security ipsec sa (Juniper), show vpn ipsec-sa (Palo Alto)

### 4. DMVPN-Specific Diagnostics (if applicable)
DMVPN has three independent layers that can fail independently:

**Layer 1 — GRE/mGRE tunnel**:
- Hub: show interface tunnel<N> — must be UP/UP, check tunnel source reachability
- Spoke: ping hub tunnel IP — if fails, GRE layer broken (check tunnel mode gre multipoint on hub)
- tunnel key must match on all routers

**Layer 2 — NHRP registration**:
- show ip nhrp — spoke should show hub entry; hub should show all registered spokes
- Spoke registration failure: check nhrp network-id matches, NHS IP correct, NBMA reachable
- show ip nhrp traffic — look for registration request/reply counters
- NHRP authentication: ip nhrp authentication <key> must match
- Phase 3 resolution failure: spoke sends NHRP resolution request for another spoke; hub proxies; check ip nhrp redirect on hub and ip nhrp shortcut on spokes

**Layer 3 — IPsec protection**:
- show dmvpn detail — shows NHRP state AND IPsec SA state per peer
- DMVPN IPsec uses crypto profile (not crypto map): ip nhrp map multicast dynamic + tunnel protection ipsec profile <name>

### 5. GETVPN-Specific Diagnostics (if applicable)
- KS/GM registration failure: check show crypto gdoi gm, GM must reach KS on UDP 848
- TEK expiry: show crypto gdoi gm rekeys — missing rekeys cause traffic blackhole
- KEK expiry: GM loses registration, must re-register
- Cooperative KS failover: primary/secondary KS must have same policy; check show crypto gdoi ks
- GM not encrypting: check show crypto gdoi gm sa — TEK must be installed and active

### 6. FlexVPN-Specific Diagnostics (if applicable)
- IKEv2 profile binding: ikev2 profile must match on both sides (identity, authentication)
- Virtual-template: show derived-config interface virtual-access<N> — verify IP addressing
- Spoke-to-spoke: requires IKEv2 redirect from hub; check show crypto ikev2 session detail
- IP address assignment: DVTI uses ip unnumbered to loopback; check ip local pool for client assignments

### 7. Root Cause and Fix
- State the root cause
- Provide the exact configuration fix using [Vendor / OS] CLI syntax
- Provide the verification command to confirm resolution

### 8. Prevention
- Best practice configuration to prevent this class of issue
- Monitoring command or EEM applet to detect early
