Traffic drops during Site to Site VPN tunnel renegotiation

Since the upgrade to 6.2.5.1-26n the pre-shared key renegotiation at the lifetime expiration takes between 3 to 5 minutes. The tunnel will then come back up on its own but the traffic is likely to be dropped in this interval. 

Should you face this issue, you can contact our Technical Support team about DTS#174726 and request the HF#174726-1n for Gen6 or Gen5 appliances.
