IPSec VPN can't create tunnel

hi,

just try to create the tunnel in CLI (console window or ssh):

conf vpn ipsec phase1-interface

edit new_vpn

...

next

end

conf vpn ipsec phase2-interface

edit new_tunnel

...

next

end

Any existing VPN should give you the idea which parameters are mandatory (interface, proposal,...) and which are not.

Which kind of tunnel are you going to create: main mode, dynamic or static remote gateway,...?

Glad it works for you now.

There's 2 ways to see this:

1 - you really want to understand why and how

2 - you need a result

If you want to go way 1, just open the wizard on the newly created tunnel definition and start deleting one value after the other, until the GUI stops you. Even then, sometimes it's a browser issue, or will not happen if the Fortigate is freshly rebooted. Or some of the parameters used have funny characters, or spaces where the GUI won't accept it (but the CLI will).

And somehow you very often go way 2.

Hi Thanasis,

I am having the same issue, did you ever find a resolution?

Thanks
