With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Problem with IPSec VPN tunnel to remote site

Asked by techneitsolutions in Networking Hardware Firewalls, IPSec Security Protocol, Network Routers

Tags: Fortigate, 60B

Hi experts,

We need to setup an IPSec VPN tunnel to a remote site. Other remote site hardware is unkown, but we do know the IPSec settings. Phase 1 and Phase 2 have been configured and firewall policies are defined.

In our Fortigate logs we get this during a setup of the tunnel:

error       dpd                   IPsec connection failure on the tunnel to <remote ip>:500       dpd_failure       
notice      negotiate             Initiator: tunnel <remote ip>, transform=ESP_AES, HMAC_SHA1       success
notice       negotiate             Initiator: sent <remote ip> quick mode message #2 (DONE)       success
notice       install_sa             Initiator: tunnel <local ip>/<remote ip> install ipsec sa       
notice       negotiate             Initiator: sent <remote ip> quick mode message #1 (OK)             success       
notice       negotiate             Initiator: parsed <remote ip> main mode message #3 (DONE)       success
notice       negotiate             Initiator: sent <remote ip> main mode message #3 (OK)             success
notice       negotiate             Initiator: sent <remote ip> main mode message #2 (OK)             success
notice       negotiate             Initiator: sent <remote ip> main mode message #1 (OK)             success
notice       delete_phase1_sa       Deleted an Isakmp SA on the tunnel to <remote ip>:500


The dpd_failure message has id 23011. According to fortigate this means:
1.11. Message ID: 23011
Message:       loc_ip=<local_ipaddress> loc_port=<local_port> rem_ip=<> rem_port=<> out_if=<> vpn_tunnel=<ip_address> cookies=<> action=dpd status=dpd_failure msg="IPSec connection failure"
Meaning:       IPSec connection failure.

(see url http://kc.forticare.com/print.asp?id=3271&Lang=1&SID=)

The problem is here we need a deeper analysis of what exactly is going wrong.
dpd_failure = dead peer detected failure, but since it's replying on the first phases, the Fortigate can reach the other site.

Anyone a suggestion?

thanks,
Pieter
