Hi Russ,

Are you saying you have four of the Edges as managed by SmartCenter and this fifth one is a compatible device and uses a manually installed certificate?

No, they all have fixed IP and all are currently configured as compatible devices. The compatible devices are all configured identically with respect to the IKE configuration.

The fifth Edge has it own VPN rule A -> B and B->A as not all services are required both ways but the encryption configuration is the same.


From the Edge setting up Site to Site encryption, the configuration goes easily and the logs report a sucessful VPN connection. However from NGAI HFA-14 to Edge the traffic is encrypted and the logs indicate the connection on both. However from the Edge to NGAI HFA-14 the Edge reports successful VPN but NGAI reports "different encryption methods!!".


Are they all in the same VPN Community?

I have 4 Edge unit and am configuring a fifth as a compatible device, I have come up against strange behaviour. All the previous Edge units have been configured using a v4 firmware release and then upgraded. This fifth edge unit is running the latest version v5 firmware.

Following the same configuration settings I have with the previous Edge units, I can create a VPN site on the Edge successfully. The Edge report shows the successful configuration.

PC1  -> NGAI     ----------------    Edge   -> PC2
           IKE Stage 1  AES-256/SHA1
           IKE Stage 2  3DES/SHA1

NGAI can remotely administer Edge
PC1 traffic arrives at PC2
traffic from PC2 does not return to PC1
connecting from PC2 to PC1 results in NGAI stopping with "encryption failure : different encryption methods".

Before the Edge Units, we had v4.1 SP6 firewalls and VPN connection problems where about 10 a month, now with the Edge units its 20 a day.
