  • 1.  VPN IPsec NSX with Stonesoft

    Posted Nov 28, 2017 11:33 AM

    Hello,

    I am unable to setup a tunnel VPN between a stonesoft and a ESG 6.3.3.

    I already have 3 working IPsec VPN with 2 sonicwall and Azure.

    It seems the stonesoft couln't recognize the ESG as a valid VPN gateway, it doesn't pass the phase 1.

    Please see the log at the Stonesoft side:

    "No rule found for IKE peers XX.XX.XX.XX and XX.XX.XX.XX: Peer IP address mismatch"

    "Sending error notify, no proposal chosen"

    "IKE state start sa negociation R: outgoing ike SA values processing failed: No  proposal Chosen.

    The log at the NSX side:

    Is there a way to have more debug information on the nsg?

    Do you have any idea do help me solve this issue?

    I found this from Stonesoft documentation.

    Stonesoft Next Generation Firewall 5.10.3 does not support integration with Intel Security Controller and deployment on VMware NSX.
