        Yep, looks like a bug.

        The syntax should be like:
        split_network include 10.x.y.z/24;

          what do you have set in your phase 2 for mobile clients for local network? It populates that line from that value.

              You can't do transport mode with mobile clients. I'm not sure why it let you select that.

              Switch to tunnel mode.
