Description

When attempting to apply IPsec changes on a system with more than around 30 tunnels, the apply process causes a timeout in PHP.

When creating a new Phase 1 entry and then attempting to apply changes, the GUI page loads for 2-3 minutes and then finally ends with a 504 gateway timeout error. In the past, similar actions have taken around 20 seconds.

The change does appear to have taken when going back into the GUI after a while.

Currently running on 21.02.2-RC code on zColo vpn concentrators, along with a patch to fix VTI creation issues after already having 33 ipsec tunnels in place.

Issue is that if I create a new p1 tunnel, and save, and then click 'apply changes', it times out after 2-3 minutes of appearing to load. Attached is screenshot.

There must be more to it than just the number of tunnels. I generated a config with 40 dummy tunnels and it applies the configuration in ~35 seconds without errors several times in a row on 21.05 on new hardware.

I tried on 21.02.2 in a smaller VM (less RAM, lower performance) and it still applied in about 45 seconds.

I would add that it also takes a LONG time to pull ipsec status.
