IP address for ipsec tunnel

is there any limit on the IP address that I can used for ipsec site-to-site tunnels from fortinet firewall to 3rd party firewall like in AWS cloud.

currently we have site-to-site ipsec using 172.xx.xx.xx/16 as our MPLS network are all in the range 172.16.0.0 to 172.32.0.0/16.

Can we do IP subnet out of this range?

Hi yeowkm99,

 

I don't see any reason why you couldn't not subnet the range 172.x.x.x/16 for the IPSec tunnel.

Hi there is no limit on the IP subnet range.

Make sure the quick mode selectors on both ends are same

eg 172.25.0.0/16 souce, 172.30.0.0/16 destination and 172.25.0.0/16 source, 172.28.0.0/16 destination both with difference WAN IP address.

Hi,
