Non-Meraki Peer to vMX Site to Site VPN

[vMXNoob]

Hello all,

Question for you all I have created a non-meraki S2S VPN - I have control of both sides - The VPN is IKEv1

Phase 1 - Matches both sides

Phase 2 Matches both sides

PSK matches 

Remote IDs are correct each end 

Subnets are correct each side 

What ever i do i keep getting the following message on the quick mode (phase 2)

received INVALID_ID_INFORMATION error notify

The the VPN will show green in the meraki portal - but cannot pass any traffic

(The vmx) is in azure and nat'd as expected but i can see all the traffic pass to the device if i start a packet capture 

Any tips?

For the remote ID on the third party you  have the vMXs internal IP specified or whatever you've specified in the Local ID field?

[vMXNoob]

Yes I did as I previously noticed when initially configuring the vpn the logs on the remote side were stating that the id was incorrect as I had the external ip when I changed it to the internal it brought up phase 1 of the sa’s

If the PSK includes extended characters - try making a simple ASCII PSK and see if that makes any difference.

Try simplifying down to using a single subnet combination and see if that makes any difference.

Keep removing complexity until you get it working, and then building it back up again.

I have tried the psk to a simple configuration and single subnets still getting the following

received INVALID_ID_INFORMATION error notify

both devices are behind nat - but have captured packets and can see that they are talking to one another 🙂
