IPsec site to site Sophos Fortinet not established

Hi all, 

Does someone successfully setup IPsec vpn between Sophos and Fortigate. If somebody can post working configuration I would appreciate.

thank you all

Hi,

Looking at the debug, we can see P1_RETRANSMIT and timeouts. There are no responses from the peer for the 1st message or even the 1st message from peer did not reach FGT. 

 

Check if config is done on the peer and if ISP / any other device is blocking UDP 500.

Is the same result from sophos.by the way the Fg is paired by an other Fg correctly.and i succeed to peer this fortigate with Zyxel firewall.also the sophos with the Zyxel.

So that why i demand the correct configuration to peer sophos with Fg

Seems like we are not getting response from sophos, are you observing same one side traffic in sophos also?

If so can you check with ISP and tell them there is only one way communication.

Hi, 

 

There seems to be an issue with communication between the two devices as we can see alot P1_Retransmits. You need to check if you have two way traffic between the FGT and remote host. 

 

Share the output of this command:

diagnose sniffer packet any "host 196.206.X.X and (port 500 or port 4500)" 4 0 l

 

On FGT, it appears that you are using Private IP on FGT and probably there is NAT in place on some other device. You will have to ensure that there is inbound NATing also configured so the traffic for IPsec is making to the FGT. 

 

Thank you.

Hello yns_sa,

 

As per the logs , FortiGate is acting as the initiator where it starts the VPN negotiation by sending the 1st message of Phase-1. The below is the snippet,

 

ike 0:vpn_sophos:52504: initiator: main mode is sending 1st message...
ike 0:vpn_sophos:52504: cookie 512f40f8c4cd9442/0000000000000000
ike 0:vpn_sophos:52504: out

ike 0:vpn_sophos:52504: sent IKE msg (ident_i1send): 10.10.20.2:500->196.206.X.X:500, len=168, id=512f40f8c4cd9442/0000000000000000

 

However, there are no response from the peer end (i.e. Sophos). Hence the negotiation times out/fails after few retries.

 

ike 0:vpn_sophos:52503: sent IKE msg (P1_RETRANSMIT): 10.10.20.2:500->196.206.X.X:500, len=168, id=f15ecabf7640ef0e/0000000000000000 >>> retry/retransmit

 

ike 0:vpn_sophos:52503: negotiation timeout, deleting
ike 0:vpn_sophos: connection expiring due to phase1 down
ike 0:vpn_sophos: deleting
ike 0:vpn_sophos: deleted

 

There could be two possibilities,

1) Reachability issue between the two sites (FortiGate and Sophos)

2) Sophos not accepting the VPN message from FortiGate (could be due any proposal mismatch).

 

Possibility#1:

  • - Run packet capture at the Sophos to verify whether the VPN message sent from FortiGate is reaching its end or not.  If the messages are not received at the sophos end, then this indicates a connectivity problem between the sites.
  • -Ping Sophos VPN gateway IP- 196.206.X.X from FortiGate and check if it is pingable. If not, run a regular traceroute to 196.206.X.X from FortiGate to identify the hop on which the traffic is failing. Then check with the respective ISP to rectify the connectivity.
  • -Incase, the ping between two sites are successful but the VPN messages on UDP-500 from one end is not reaching the other. Then run a UDP traceroute from a PC behind FortiGate to Sophos IP on UDP port-500 to identify the hop on which the traffic is failing.
  • - You could use "udptrace.exe" tool for running UDP traceroute and it could be downloaded from "https://chrislloyd.co/udptrace/"

Possibility#2:

  • If the VPN messages are reaching the Sophos but it is not responding. Then make sure the phase1 proposals are same on both ends and check the sophos logs for more detailed reason.

ok we see the FGT (re)transmitting messages to the Sophos but we do not see any response. This could mean - as Rambharati wrote - either there is some issue in reachability between FGT and Sopho. It could also mean that some error occured on the Sophos which prevents it from responding. 

This is a weak point in basic IPSec debugging (not Fortinet specific): if there is an error on one side, mostly the opposite site doesn't get the error but only no response from peer or similar.

So you might also check the logs on the sophos to see if it reported any error during negotiation...

One reason why I don't like to debug IPSec ;)

- Seems like you switched from IKEv1 to IKEv2 and FortiGate started receiving response from peer 

- Now the negotiation fails during the Auth phase.

- FortiGate receives "AUTHENTICATION_FAILED" from peer. 

- There could be mismatch in the below parameters,

  • IKE ID
  • Preshared Key
  • Traffic Selectors(i.e. Phase2 proxy-ids)

- By looking at the logs, FortiGate seems to be behind a NAT device and holding a private IP address on its underlay side -10.10.20.2. The chances are high for mismatch in the IKE_ID. In such case either set local-id on FortiGate end or set  Peer-id on the remote end.

- However, compare the above mentioned parameters from the both ends and correct it, if there is any mismatch.

It did match the proposals but it failed to authenticate. Is your psk correct on both sides?
