        Choose an appropriate source to match your IPsec Phase 2. For example if the local network is your LAN, when pinging from Diagnostics > Ping, choose "LAN" as the source.

          To add to Jimp's thought: You may also need to allow ping traffic on your firewall. Under Firewall, Rules, IPSec, you may need a rule that states Allow, IPSec, ICMP (echoreq), Source (Remote network), Destination (LAN Address).

          Hope this helps!
