STATUS_IPSEC_DOSP_STATE_LOOKUP_FAILED

The defensive state table has no usable entry for this packet

STATUS_IPSEC_DOSP_STATE_LOOKUP_FAILED means that the IPsec denial-of-service protection path could not find the state it needed to process the packet. This is a state-correlation result; it does not by itself prove that the packet is malformed or that a cryptographic check failed.

Look for timing and lifecycle issues: a state entry may have expired, been removed after a policy change, never have been created because earlier negotiation was blocked, or be unavailable because traffic arrived through a different path. It is particularly useful to correlate this status with preceding DoS, negotiation and SA events for the same peer.

What to verify

  • Correlate the event with prior packets and state-creation attempts for the same peer.
  • Check policy reload, service restart, rekey, and expiry timing.
  • Record direction and interface because state may be scoped by processing path.
  • Do not assume a missing DoS state is the same as a missing IPsec SA.
