Analysis

In IPsec, user IDs are used to identify data flows and to set up different IPsec tunnels for different data

flows. Now, the IP address and username are used as the user ID.
The following is the debugging information:

got NOTIFY of type INVALID_ID_INFORMATION

Or

drop message from A.B.C.D due to notification type INVALID_ID_INFORMATION

Solution

Check that the ACLs in the IPsec policies configured on the interfaces at both ends are compatible.

Configure the ACLs to mirror each other. For more information about ACL mirroring, see "Configuring

IPsec."

Proposal mismatch

Symptom

The proposals mismatch.

Analysis

The following is the debugging information:

got NOTIFY of type NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN

Or

drop message from A.B.C.D due to notification type NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN

The two parties in the negotiation have no matched proposals.

Solution

For the negotiation in phase 1, look up the IKE proposals for a match. For the negotiation in phase 2,

check whether the parameters of the IPsec policies applied on the interfaces are matched, and whether
the referred IPsec proposals have a match in protocol, encryption and authentication algorithms.

Failing to establish an IPsec tunnel

Symptom

The expected IPsec tunnel cannot be established.

Analysis

Sometimes this may happen that an IPsec tunnel cannot be established or there is no way to

communicate in the presence of an IPsec tunnel in an unstable network. According to examination results,

however, ACLs of both parties are configured correctly, and proposals are also matched.
In this case, the problem is usually caused by the reboot of one SecPath after the IPsec tunnel is

established.

Solution

Use the display ike sa command to check whether both parties have established an SA in phase 1.

Use the display ipsec sa policy command to check whether the IPsec policy on the interface has
established IPsec SA.
