<p>One final update on this.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I got the newest firmware for the router (dated last week), and tried again. This time it went through. Unclear where the problem was exactly, but I'm moving on.</p>

<p>Jason Zhan sent this with a slightly different subject line (thereby creating a new thread):</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>--------------------</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p> If there is NAT between <Zyxel> and <StrongSwan >,suggestion add below parameter in [ipsec.conf]<br>
<br>
[ipsec.conf]<br>
type=tunnel<br>
aggressive=yes<br>
forceencaps=yes<br>
<br>
by the way,most small router use peer ID when configure ipsec ikev1 in graphical<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>--------------------</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The only difference here from what I had is the suggestion "aggressive-yes", I think. I hadn't explicitly specified type, but tunnel is the default. (Just now I set it explicitly and there was no clear change in behavior.) Changing to aggressive mode is
not compatible with the settings on the Zyxel. The Zyxel does have the capability to handle aggressive mode (although I've never tried it), but making this configuration change on the router would have ripple effects into the other remote sites that are working.
I'd like to avoid that.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm afraid that I don't understand the final comment starting with "by the way..."</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm hoping there's some configuration issue here that someone can spot and that can be easily fixed. Changing configuration on the router - taking into account potential issues with other remote machines that are working with the current configuration -
is probably a painful option. The number of different machine types and software providers for which this is already working makes me think that it's a situation that StrongSwan does (or at least should) support if I can get some help sorting out the differences
in parameter settings between the various "swans."</p>

<p>Hi Noel-</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I saw your note about NAT-T, and it matched my understanding for the docs. It seems that NAT-T information is not shared between the peers. I tried adding forceencaps=yes and got the same apparent result. I skipped the config and logs since the earlier
thread had substantially similar configuration and got no reply. Here's the most recent variation that I've tried (with IP numbers redacted).</p>

NAT-T is enabled and enforced when NAT is detected or forced to be used by using forceencaps=yes in ipsec.conf (similiar option in swanctl.conf).<br>
<br>
Your email lacks information. We require logs and configs. You're probably doing something inherently wrong.<br>
