IPSec VPN site-to-site does not reconnect after reboot

Hi,

where can I configure Site-to-Site VPN on XGS client (initiate connection side) to establish connection after reboot or after upgrade? I've gone through all VPN settings many times and cannot find any setting, which would mean to me "auto connect" or something like this.

I have XGS-136 with UTM 18.5.2 MR-2-Build380.

Idea?

  • I think this is happening automatically from the rebooted / updated client. Or do you mean a reboot of the "server" side?
    Can't remember that I had to restart this. Hovever I sometimes see issues that the "inside" tunnel / SA is not coming up or loosing some connections.

  • Well, XGS in my case is client, as it is initiating connection. Found in logs a lot of:

    received IKE message with invalid SPI (32B7866C) from other side

    Weird...
    I lookup into config and my surprise, IPSec Policy was set almost every parameter wrong. SHA1 instead of AES in both phases, then DH2 instead of DH21 and so on. I have no idea where wrong parameters came from...

    So, I set them as they should be and it looks not up and running without problems. Funny technology... :)
