| Description | This article describes the solution to solve the 'error, payload not encrypted' error received on the IKE debug. |
| Scope | FortiOS. |
| Solution |
This example setup is verified between a VM FortiGate and Forcepoint.
Collect the IKE debug and verify the error using below commands :
diagnose vpn ike log filter dst-addr4 <VPN remote IP address>
ike V=root:0: comes 116.50.59.200:4500->10.229.224.97:4500,ifindex=4,vrf=0,len=40....
It is clear from the IKE log that the two VPN peers are not able to complete phase1 negotiation (phase1 is down).
The AUTH_RESPONSE packet should be encrypted, but when taking a packet capture, the packet is not encrypted. Change the IKE version to V1. An informational message will populate after the 1st message of ISAKMP.
Fix for the issue:
