Possible to do site to site VPN for ipv4 & ipv6 with only ipv4 service in between?

Hi all, I'm wanting to give a remote site IPv6 service by way of VPN since the local ISP sucks. I have a pre-existing IPv4 site to site (fortigate to fortigate) VPN defined with the 0.0.0.0/0 phase 2 selectors so the firewalls can do their thing themselves. I was hoping perhaps I could set up a second tunnel for IPv6 packets by defining the same remote IPv4 destination on the remote side, a different key and different local ID so the target could tell the tunnels apart, but I'm getting a "-34: Duplicate remote gateway" error when trying to add it.

Is there a way around this issue? I could easily add a second IP address on one side, but not the v4-only side.

Thanks

Hi There!!

According to this: http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/1086/fortigate-ipsec-vpn-50.pdf (Page 173)

"...IPv6 over IPv4 The VPN gateways have IPv4 addresses. The protected networks use IPv6 addresses. The phase 2 configurations at either end use IPv6 selectors..."

I never try it, but i think if you add a phase2 selector with something like this may be work (of course, you have to set address, routes and policys too):

config vpn ipsec phase2-interface

edit tunnel6_p2

set phase1name tunnel6

set proposal 3des-md5

set src-addr-type subnet6

set dst-addr-type subnet6

end

In page 183 in the same doc you have an example :)

Hope it helps!

Thanks so much; your tip got me to a working config. I didn't realize you could have an ipv4 and ipv6 phase 2 side by side on the same phase 1. I simply added a new phase 2 and everything began working. I was trying to add a duplicate phase 1 with different settings previously.
