Adding subnets to existing VPN tunnel Fortigate 200D to Cisco ASA

[FGTnewbie]

hello everyone, 

I am a newbie to Fortigate VPN connections. We have a VPN  connection (Fortigate 200D) with our partners usine Cisco ASA. I need to add a second subnet at our end to the VPN and also additional remote subnets to the VPN tunnel. I really need all the help i can get with this. 

Thanks

Sorry, your post slipped, strange. You'll usually find support in the forums if someone has an idea - but still, this is a user's forum a.k.a. "best effort". Fortinet support could have helped you by now I'm sure.

You've found the answer yourself then which is good. Problem solved.

One tiny step from 'desperate' to 'supporting' would be to share the solution. Can I win you over for this?

I initially used a wizard to setup the tunnel. I then converted the tunnel to a custom tunnel and i was able to add the additional subnets

I also learnt two important lessons 

1. Always backup you configuration before making any changes

2. Always double triple check with the configuration on the ASA (ncryptions, suubnets, etc)
