VPN between Watchguard and ASG

The Watch says it's expecting agressive mode in it's logs, and then I see the following message on the ASG.

Notify Message Type: INVALID_EXCHANGE_TYPE
2009:02:08-21:20:22 (none) pluto[5607]: packet from ***.***.***.***:500: ignoring informational payload, type INVALID_EXCHANGE_TYPE 

Has anyone sucessfully gotten this to work?  I don't see any agressive mode options on the ASG.

  • I searched the KnowledgBase for 'aggressive v7'.  According to the ASC-V9/ASG-V7 Config Guide: "The Aggressive Mode option is not supported by Astaro Security Gateway."

  • Here is the log on the Watchguard box (see below).  I am not sure if this will help or not.  

    If anyone has experience with getting a VPN configured using a Watchguard X1000 (running Fireware) to ASG7 please let me know.  I need to know if the ASG7 not supporting aggressive mode makes or breaks the ability for me to create a VPN.

  • RP, since Main Mode is more secure than Aggressive, I'd be surprised if the WatchGuard wouldn't have that facility.  My guess is that Astaro's choice to NOT offer Aggressive Mode is a conscious one.

  • it does offer main mode but is in use by another VPN so it won't let me use it.  Unfortunately I can't reconfigure the other VPNs either...
  • It won't let you make that selection VPN by VPN?
