Hi bzness,
Kindly try to change the SA Lifetime. Let me share these old forum links below that might help as reference:
SA Lifetime Guidelines for VPN Setup
If ever it does not help, delete the existing IKE and VPN policies. Then, use the VPN Wizard to set up a box-to-box VPN between the FVS318G and SRX5308. Refer to the link below as reference guide:
Configuring a Box to Box VPN on ProSAFE/ProSECURE routers using the VPN Wizard

Thanks.
I will check out the SA lifetimes and if that doesn't work, try to delete and set up the VPN again.
Right now it seems the VPN is stable (after I played around with the IP segments in the VPN setup. They are both set to 192.168.x.0, with the selection set to "segment".
The weird thing is that the VPN is established, but I have access to the resources at site A from site B, but not the other way around. Perhaps I need to reboot both routers ???
