Strange IPSec debug... Anyone ever seen that ?

Hi all,

I have set up easy VPN server from a 837 router running the 12.3(2)XC2 IOS version. and connection from a Cisco VPN client (ver 4.0.1) fails with producing very weird debugs on the router...

IKE Phase 1 seems ok.

IKE phase 2 finds acceptable transforms but refuses to build the SA.

I have attached part of the debug output below, notice the message "IPSEC(validate_transform_proposal): invalid transform proposal flags -- 0x400"...

I've been digging almost everywhere on cisco.com and the rest of the web but could not find any helpful info... therefore big thanks to anyone helping me on this one.

Aurélien

This could be an issue with either the wrong subnet mask given, or, it could be the match of access list that could be including the incorrect IP. By the way, did you do any upgrade of the OS on your cisco box that started giving problem. If so, you could check for the caveats of that particular os.

hi,

thx for your answer. This issue was solved with help of Cisco expert Haseeb Niazi in this forum. It needed PFS removed from the dynamic crypto map. It is now working.

regards,

Aurelien
