Fortigate Site 2 Site Ipsec vpn confiuration with Cisco router - don't waste time if you are using trail license
Dear All,
I had to configure Site 2 site IPsec tunnel with cisco router with using OSPF protocol so I thought, First do the lab then implement.Â
I was doing lab to configure IPsec tunnel with cisco (CISCO CONFIG (VTI + IPsec + OSPF). but unfortunately Fortigate does not support AES encryption in config phase 1 and 2 setting. on the other side cisco router support AES encryption does not support legacy encryption like DES.

So, Conclusion if you are using Fortigate trail license like 15 days or permanent license so do not practice.  because FortiGate doesn’t support higher encryption if you are using trail license.

Thank you.Â
