IPsec tunnel problems between Cisco router and WatchGuard Firebox

Hello,

I have a problem to establish a VPN connection between these two boxes. As a Cisco I use a 1721 router with the c1700-k8sy7-mz.122-15.T5.bin IOS.

A tunnel can be established only from Cisco box to WatchGuard Firebox. When Watchguard tries to establish a VPN connection, I get an error message on the Cisco

Aug 7 10:20:22.175: IPSEC(validate_proposal_request): proposal part #1,

(key eng. msg.) INBOUND local= 195.91.44.100, remote= 62.217.33.200,

Aug 7 10:20:22.175: IPSEC(validate_transform_proposal): invalid transform proposal flags -- 0x2

I have checked the transform-set settings on both devices and they were the same. Then I have changed the transorm-set from

crypto ipsec transform-set sycon-set esp-des esp-sha-hmac

to

crypto ipsec transform-set sycon-set esp-des esp-md5-hmac

but got the same error message.

The configuration on the router is simple

crypto isakmp policy 1

hash md5

authentication pre-share

crypto isakmp key xxxxxxx address xx.xxx.33.200

crypto ipsec transform-set sycon-set esp-des esp-md5-hmac

access-list 110 permit ip xxx.xxxx.199.0 0.0.0.255 xxxx.26.90.0 0.0.0.255

If there is a problem with the transform-set, can someone explain me what are flags in "invalid transform proposal flags -- 0x2 " error message and their meaning?

I was in the belief, that when there is a problem with a tranform-set, I will get error message like this

IPSec (validate_proposal): transform proposal

(port 3, trans 2, hmac_alg 2) not supported

Thank you.

Peter
