      we performed upgrade to 2.2.2 and now IpSec doesn't work.

      Error messages:
      IKE] <109> found 2 matching configs, but none allows XAuthInitPSK authentication using Aggressive Mode

      The problem looks to be the IPSec setting Phase 1 proposal, Negotiation mode become Main after the upgrade.
      Problem is now it can't change to Aggressive.. bug?

      When I try to change it to agressive, below logs appear, but the change was not really saved:

      Suggestions are appreciated!

        The upgrade doesn't change that. Is this for mobile users, or a site to site?

        The log you're getting is what you get when i_dont_care_about_security_and_use_aggressive_mode_psk isn't applied. I seem to recall some circumstances where if you change that while the service is already running, you need to stop, then start (not restart), the IPsec service under Status>Services in order for it to take effect. Try that.

          Was able to fix it:
          Somehow Key Exchange version been changed to Auto, I changed it to ver 1 which i believe that it was, I then was able to change the Negotiation mode to aggressive.

          Thanks for the response!
