VPN iPad ios10 to SRX5308
Before I beat my head against trying to get this VPN going and wonder why it won't work am I wasting my time? I find this article http://kb.netgear.com/25836/How-to-Setup-VPN-with-NETGEAR-Firewall-...

Hi njem
Do not add a vpn connection setup by the VPN Wizard for the iphone.
1.First, create a mode config profile. Go to VPN > Mode Config > Add.
2. Then, create the IKE Policy manually. Go to VPN > IPSec VPN > IKE Policy > Add.
3. Once done, create an IPSEC user. Go to Users > Users > then Add.

ChenX,
Almost there. I followed your steps and on the IOS side it said VPN Connected. On the Netgear side it listed it in the status page but said IPSEC SA Not Established. That may have been because I was trying it from inside the LAN. The exec will be trying it from home. We'll see what happens then.
