Hi -

Anybody have any success/advice connecting strongswan to an end-of-life Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator?

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Ted

Hi -

I am struggling to successfully connect to a Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator with Strongswan from an EC2 within a VPC. The peer will provide several specific boxes through the IP and my local will expose two.

The security association is established however the connection doesn’t appear to get fully established, getting stuck on QUICK_MODE.

Details of the configuration from the VPN 3000 Concentrator:

Peer Interface: PEER_EXTERNAL_IP
Connection: Bi-directional
Digital Certificate: None (Use Preshared Keys)
Certificate Transmission: Identity certificate only
Preshared Key: XXXX
Authentication: ESP/MD5/HMAC-128
Encryption: 3DES-168
IKE Proposal IKE-3DES-MD5
Filter: None
IPSec NAT-T: Not checked
Bandwidth Policy: None
Routing: None
Diffie Helman : Group 2
IKE Phase 1: 1440 Minutes
IKE Phase 2: 3600 Seconds
Aggressive Mode: No

Any ideas?
