Hi,

We just converted the VPN configuration of our firewalls to simplified
mode.
When I install a policy on the firewall cluster, the VPN connections stop
working and I get the following error in the log:

and a little later:

because there is no valid SA - please refer to solution sk19423 in
SecureKnowledge Database for more information

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If I reboot the firewalls, the VPN connection is reestablished and I am
able to reach the other side again!
(I looked in sk19423, but I did not find any good clues there).

We are running a pair of Nokia IP350 in a VRRP cluster, using NG AI R55
HFA-03 on IPSO 3.7 Build 36.
We did not have this problem when using traditional mode VPN.

Any help would be very appreciated!

Regards,

Harald
