Technical Tip: Phase 2 selector is not showing up on IPSec monitor
| Description | This article describes why one of the Phase 2 selectors is not present in the IPSec monitor. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution | In some cases, an IPSec tunnel may include more than one phase 2 selector. The IPSec monitor can be used to confirm that a tunnel and all Phase 2 selectors are operational. If Phase 2 does not appear when using the IPSec monitor, as it does in the screenshot below:
In the below screenshot it can be seen that there are 3 Phase 2 selectors on this IPSec tunnel:
From the CLI, while checking on the phase1 connection the phase2 selector is still missing:
diagnose vpn tunnel list proxyid_num=2 child_num=0 refcnt=4 ilast=44775664 olast=44775664 ad=/0
When checked under references for this IPSec tunnel, the concerned Phase 2 selector shows up, but that Phase 2 selector is slightly towards right-hand side:
If that is the case, then that Phase 2 selector is repetitive. In the example above the first Phase 2 selector and the third one have the same remote and local subnet. |
