Technical Note: Phase 1 negotiation failure when VPN is terminated on a secondary IP

[nvisentin_FTNT]

Description

When the FortiGate is configured to terminate IPsec VPN tunnel on a secondary IP, the local-gw must be configured in the IKE phase 1. Otherwise it will result in a phase 1 negotiation failure. Debug IKE (level -1) will report “no SA proposal chosen” even if all the proposals are properly configured :

Solution

The interface bound to IKE is configured as follows, IPsec VPN is terminated on the secondary IP 172.31.192.205.

FGT1KC # sh sys inter wan1
config system interface
    edit "wan1"
        set vdom "root"
        set ip 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0
        set allowaccess ping
        set snmp-index 31
        set secondary-IP enable
            config secondaryip
                edit 1
                    set ip 172.31.192.205 255.255.252.0
                    set allowaccess ping https ssh http telnet
                next
            end
    next
end

IPsec phase 1 must be configured as follows (dialup phase 1 configuration in this example).

config vpn ipsec phase1-interface
    edit "Dialup_P1"
        set type dynamic
        set interface "wan1"
        set local-gw 172.31.192.205
        set mode aggressive
        set peertype one
        set proposal 3des-sha1 aes128-sha1
        set peerid "LAB"
  set psksecret ENC bWFpbgoVxDP89ru9ni9Ob9ulxYyFlnSrp3I7RRf9caGri/nTK/MhIV5J2MZ7c6+iH3lyXakWgFTaBapVCq+Vtoss3JTdzc4PtBw77AniaifJQzoBtG95vA3EXKHa0m/NfP6fIN9qIJ9axjzuxWYEifeilbXrx506pJhCY/1EdcFMHQRnXvF4vHzEXx3gD1MEskeNZg==
    next
end
