Are they on the same subnet?

 

by: beatmix01Posted on 2005-10-20 at 13:24:05ID: 15128091

The remote location will be on 10.100.1.0 and the home office will be 10.1.1.0

 

by: devsolnsPosted on 2005-10-20 at 13:28:50ID: 15128130

This could be any number of issues..........can you provide the "running configs" for both.  Also are you using the correct ports for IPSec on both?

I see that you have the destination internal network set in the NetOpia, but the obverse is not set on the Fortigate.

I'm not familiar with either device,, but it may be something youo have overlooked.

The desitnation on the Fortigate unit is defined in the firewall policy, not in the IPsec area.  

   edit 25
        set srcintf "internal"
        set dstintf "external"
        set srcaddr "VPNinternal"
        set dstaddr "VPNexternal"
        set action encrypt
        set schedule "always"
        set service "ANY"
        set inbound enable
        set outbound enable
        set vpntunnel "GTN2MIAMI"

VPNinternal= 10.1.1.0 | VPNexternal=10.100.1.0

 

by: beatmix01Posted on 2005-10-21 at 08:53:48ID: 15133389

I figured it out.  I had the wrong destination address on the Netopia router!  Fixed it and the tunnel is up!

 

by: colehillPosted on 2005-10-21 at 16:11:08ID: 15136245

So was mostly right then, it was to do with that address.
