Description

Testing in 21.05 and 21.09 it's possible to create IPSec tunnels with the same reqid if both VTI and Tunnel mode connections are used.

This usually doesn't seem to be an issue unless one of the tunnels fails to connect.
In the case where the VTI tunnel is down it continually tries to re-establish and each time it does so it triggers the create_child task on the other tunnel with the same reqid.
This results in numerous identical ChildSAs.

    }
}

The VTI connection there uses reqid 1 but the first tunnel mode does too:

Routed Connections:
   con300000{2}:  ROUTED, TUNNEL, reqid 2
   con300000{2}:   192.168.241.0/24|/0 === 192.168.22.0/24|/0
   con200000{1}:  ROUTED, TUNNEL, reqid 1
   con200000{1}:   192.168.241.0/24|/0 === 192.168.126.0/24|/0

Despite the fact the config has it defined as reqid 2:

Routed Connections:
   con300000{2}:  ROUTED, TUNNEL, reqid 2
   con300000{2}:   192.168.241.0/24|/0 === 192.168.22.0/24|/0
   con200000{1}:  ROUTED, TUNNEL, reqid 1
   con200000{1}:   192.168.241.0/24|/0 === 192.168.126.0/24|/0
