Cisco RV340 Error connecting clients to L2TP server

Hello

An L2TP server is configured on the Cicso RV340, a separate IPSec profile for clients is set up (screenshots l2tp_server and l2tp_profile)
Clients under Windows connected without problems (client settings in the win_client screenshot).
But clients on MacOS did not connect, which is why the Client - to - Site VPN was configured on the router.

After that, L2TP clients stopped connecting, error 789 from the client's side.
The logs of RV340 contain the following entries (screenshot log_rv340):

Client - to - Site VPN has been disabled, but L2TP clients still won't connect. 

Could it also be related to the fact that the router has a GRE tunnel?

I cannot reset the configuration of the router. it is under construction. Is it possible to fix L2TP connectivity without drastic measures?

can you set the authentication to PAP on the Mac-l2tp-ipsec clients? The server (and the windows clients) uses PAP for auth

 

 

Windows clients use PAP type authentication (win_pap screenshot)

Unfortunately macOS doesn't allow PAP selection. For this reason, Client-to-Site was chosen because MacOS allows VPN Cisco IPSec.

The result should have been:
- L2TP would be used by Windows clients
- C-t-S would be used by MacOS clients

But due to an error when connecting to the L2TP server, now even Windows clients do not work.
