SRX5308 VPN to FVS318v3
Does anybody know if it is possible to set up a VPN connection between a SRX5308 and a FVS318v3? I have succesfully connected 2 FVS318v3's with VPN, but now 1 of them needs to be replaced because th...

Hello Dan,
Thanks for your answer. But unfortunately: I already tried to use the wizard.
On the SRX5308 I see 'IPsec SA Not Established' on the Connection Status-tab.
And on the Monitoring-page on the tab 'VPN Logs':

I hope this helps to solve the problem.
Additional information: On the same side as the SRX5308, there is still an old FVS318v3. If I configure the VPN on this firewall, the VPN is up in no time...

Hi PeterBroersen,
I'm sorry, I clicked "Accept as Solution" accidentally.
Could you compare the parameters of IKE policy and VPN policy on two box? Make sure the all parameters is same except the ip address.
Thanks,
Dan

Hello Dan,
I checked and double-checked all the settings, four times. Everything is exactly the same.
Do you want to see any screenprints of something?

Try changing things like dpd, keep alive, as well as phase one and phase two cryptos. I've not seen problems with netgear stuff connecting with each other, but have seen issues where certain combinations will not work between different brands. Could be a firmware bug and a similar issue causing issues here.
What's the two fvs318s firmware revisions? Are they the same? ie, is the one working on the same firmware as the one that isn't?
Also, you mentioned you replaced the 318 because it could not handle the bandwidth. How much did bandwidth increase to?

Hi,
I am running VPN between different SRX and FVS devices and never had any problems. However, skip the wizzard and set it up maqnually. When things have started to not work like this I have just deleted everything and started all over which have solved the problem. Also, I use the VPN software Shrew Soft to access the firewalls from a single laptop on the road. Shrewsoft works in the same way as router-router so check if you can connect to both routers by shrewsoft-router. That is one way for problem solving.
