Description This article explains how to adjust the negotiation timeout for the IPsec tunnel on a FortiGate device.
Scope FortiOS 6.2 and above
Solution

By default, the FortiGate IPsec negotiation has a 30-second timeout. This means the FortiGate will wait for a response from the peer for no longer than 30 seconds.


In the output below, it can be seen that the FortiGate sent ident_i1send, but did not receive a response from the peer within the 30-second window, resulting in a connection timeout.

diagnose debug app ike -1
