The sa duration command specifies the ISAKMP SA duration for an IKE proposal.
The undo sa duration command restores the default setting.
By default, the lifetime is 86400 seconds.
This command is supported only on the NetEngine 8000 F1A.
When the duration expires, update of the ISAKMP SA automatically starts. IKE negotiation requires DH calculation, which takes a long time. Therefore, set the duration to a value longer than 10 minutes to make sure that the update of ISAKMP SA does not affect secure communication.
Before the set duration expires, a new SA is negotiated to replace the original SA. The original SA is still in use if the negotiation of a new SA is not complete. When the new SA is established, it is used immediately. The original SA is automatically cleared.
