Missing Configuration Name

[will2liv]

I'm trying to troubleshoot an ipsec vpn connection on two devices. I'm opening the command prompt from diagnostics.

I first run the following command to get a list of connections
swanctl --list-conns

One device lists the connection as con1 and the other lists it as con1000

The second command I try is:
swanctl --initiate --ike con1
swanctl --initiate --ike con1000

On both devices I get the error:
initiate failed: missing configuration name

Now if I run the next following command, it connects the tunnel.
swanctl --initiate --child con1
swanctl --initiate --child con1000

Any ideas why the phase 1 step is showing the "Missing Configuration Name" error?
