L2TP connections do not show up on L2TP page [FLEX200]

When I add my own gateway + connection (IKEv1 with PSK) it will not show up on the L2TP page under "VPN Connection:".

When I run the wizard, the created connection is there.

When I create a new connection (exact copy of the wizard one), it will still not show up in the menu.

I am also experiencing some weird symptoms when changing the authentication type on a gateway:

  • I changed an unused gateway from IKEv2 Certificate to PSK and instantly lost access to the device on my always-on site-2-site connection (FLEX50 local ← → FLEX200 remote).
  • Turns out that not just the settings for the edited gateway were reconfigured, but also the settings of the s-2-s gateway had been switched from PSK to Cert!
  • Same happened again yesterday with another pair of gateways – luckily not an active one this time.
  • I don't know why this happens, but I suspect it to be related to the gateways sharing certain settings. Like URL, Certificate, maybe the name (I name them in a certain pattern)?

This really shouldn't happen tho, I was lucky to have another gateway working to gain access again and restored the previous config. 2nd time it happened, I just noticed it by accident – my gateways are named either …PSK or …CERT, so that told me something was wrong.

    L2TP connection should only support Encapsulation: Transport , You can check you select it

    I sent my config for a lab check, I will report back when that's dealt with.
