Aggregate dial-up IPsec tunnel

AdrianR · ‎05-31-2024

Hello, I'm testing a configuration using aggregate dial-up IPsec but I'm having trouble getting it to work. The thing is that in the IPsec Tunnels configuration the aggregate "Test" shows up in green,

but when I create the static route in Network -> Static Routes it shows the aggregate "Test" as down in red.

Did I miss something in the configuration that most be done to work?

If I change the VPNs to IPsec site to site not dialup the aggerate shows up (green) in static routes.

Can't use SDWAN because I used up all 512 members already.

Fortigates have Firmware 7.0.15

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I was not sure about the dialup/dynamic situation. So I tested it myself between two FGTs. I haven't configured IKE1 dialup/aggressive more than 10 years so I tested with IKEv2 dynamic, which should be essentially the same.

But when I tried letting both ends automatically pull those static route based on phase2 network selector with "set add-gw-route ena" on client side and "set add-route ena" on the server side, the client side didn't pull the remote subnet route somehow while the server side pulled it into its routing table.

So I abandoned the way and disabled them on both sides:
"set add-gw-route dis" on client
"set add-ruote dis" on server

Instead, I added a static route on both side like below:
<client side>
config router static
edit 0
set dst 192.168.150.0 255.255.255.0 <- server side subnet
set device "agg_tun"
next

end

and server side is specifying the opposite subnet.
And now those static routes are in the routing table properly and my pinging started coming through.

So now I think even auto-route setting should work but I just don't know exactly let the client side pull it.
As a matter of fact, when I combined both; client side=static route, server side=auto "add-route", it worked as well. So, probably it was my misunderstanding the CLI on the client side.

At least I found one way to make it work. So you can try the same.

Hello @AEK I tried with automatic route but in the routing table it stills shows the aggregate as down although the aggregate is up in IP sec.
