Cisco PIX disconnect issue.

[snowspeeder]

Still no replies from anyone but I am still attempting to help myself so here is what I'm doing and here are my results.

One of the trunks that keeps going down is a cisco PIX. So I remove the 86400 lifetime from SA 2. and kept group on 2 "I also tried off".

I get the exact same results.

I will try tonight adding the lifetime back and removing the first lifetime.

Hello,

Racoon really doesn’t want to recieve a FQDN when it’s trying to create a connection with a shared key.
Make sure the Cisco has the line

• isakmp identity address in it’s config.

Don’t forget to set your DH and PFS number at the same number as the Cisco.
In the past i have had problems between pfsense and "cisco´s" with DPD.

Regards
Heiko

I already do. Here is the config of one of my PIX's.

[OK]

[heiko]

can you post your ipsec tunnel config from pfsense-side, are both sides static?

racoon: ERROR: not acceptable Identity Protection mode –> maybe an MD5 or SHA problem in your config?

[snowspeeder]

Heres the config of my tunnel.

[heiko]

it looks OK, why do you choose "aggressive" mode and not main mode, did you try for phase 1 a lifetime "28800" and phase 2 "86400"?
Do you have tested it with SHA not MD5 and what errors shows the pix log?

[snowspeeder]

I choose all of the following because that is what was required by the monowall instructions.

[heiko]

If you have on both sides static ip´s please test this as the  last slight hope, sorry but I haven´t a pix at the moment to duplicate your test

[dotdash]

FWIW, I've had success connecting to PIX's without using no-xauth and no-config-mode
eg-
isakmp key ******** address x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.255

I also didn't have
isakmp identity address
isakmp nat-traversal 20
in my config. Otherwise similar- 6.3(5) on a 506

[Dzus]

I've found a confirmation of what heiko said about the identification mode with a preshared key, in the source code
ipsec_doi.c
/* In main mode with pre-shared key, only address type can be used. */
