Proposal Mismatch

Symptom

The proposals mismatch.

Analysis

Following is the debugging information:

got NOTIFY of type NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN

Or

drop message from A.B.C.D due to notification type NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN

The two parties in the negotiation have no matched proposals.

Solution

For the negotiation in phase 1, you can look up the IKE proposals for a match. For the negotiation in

phase 2, you can check whether the parameters of the IPsec policies applied on the interfaces are
matched, and whether the referred IPsec proposals have a match in protocol, encryption and

authentication algorithms.

Failing to Establish an IPsec Tunnel

Symptom

The expected IPsec tunnel cannot be established.

Analysis

Sometimes this may happen that an IPsec tunnel cannot be established or there is no way to

communicate in the presence of an IPsec tunnel in an unstable network. According to examination results,

however, ACLs of both parties are configured correctly, and proposals are also matched.
In this case, the problem is usually caused by the reboot of one router after the IPsec tunnel is established.

Solution

Use the display ike sa command to check whether both parties have established an SA in phase 1.

Use the display ipsec sa policy command to check whether the IPsec policy on the interface has

established IPsec SA.

If the above two results display that one party has an SA but the other does not, then use the reset

ike sa command to clear SA with error and restart negotiation.

ACL Configuration Error

Symptom

ACL configuration error results in data flow blockage.

Analysis

When multiple devices create different IPsec tunnels early or late, a device may have multiple peers. If the
device is not configured with ACL rule, the peers send packets to it to set up different IPsec tunnels in

different protection granularity respectively. As the priorities of IPsec tunnels are determined by the order

they are established, a device cannot interoperate with other peers in fine granularity when its outbound

packets are first matched with an IPsec tunnel in coarse granularity.
