Description This article describes a workaround for successfully backing up configurations on an Auvik server hosted across an IPsec tunnel.
Scope FortiOS, FortiGate, IPsec Tunnel, Auvik.
Solution

When an Auvik server is hosted across an IPsec tunnel behind a remote site, local FortiGate uses the default tunnel (IPsec) interface to execute backup commands destined for the Auvik server behind the remote site.

 

When FTP traffic is sent over a site-to-site VPN, the FortiGate uses the egress interface's IP address as the source IP in the packets.

 

Since the IPsec tunnel is assigned with 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 as an IP address under Network -> Interfaces -> WAN -> IPsec tunnel, due to phase 2 selectors under IPsec Tunnel that restrict source and destination subnets in site-to-site VPNs, packets with a source IP of 0.0.0.0 are denied.

To fix this issue, assign an IP address to the IPsec tunnel interface using the article: Configure IP address on an IPSec tunnel interface.
