@cmb:
Go back to IKEv2 on both sides. Then stop and start strongswan on both sides to make sure it definitely clears out the old IKEv1. That should do it. If you still can't pass traffic, post back what your IPsec status screen looks like. If it doesn't work, PM me if we can arrange remote access or Gotomeeting to check it out.
Thanks for your reply,
I have finally managed to make it work but unfortunately i have still had to revert back to 2.1.5,
basically for IPSEC between 2.2, i had to create the tunnels all over again and disable cisco unity puglin, Also the tunnels only manged to start up for me in IKE V1,
the reason i reverted back to 2.1.5 is because after disabling Cisco unity plugin, all my tunnels to our HO's Hub wouldn't start up. (they still use Cisco units)
unfortunately i didn't have enough time to fiddle with this more as i already had appx 8 hours downtime and cannot push this anymore.
thanks for your help again. i will definitely update to 2.2 once these outstanding issues have been address.
