I would like to connect 2 VPN50 to 1 VPN100 using a site-to-site connection.

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the Site-To-Site VPN connection with multiple Zyxel Zywalls.

I would like to connect 2 VPN50 to 1 VPN100 using a site-to-site connection.

Can someone show me a configuration example. My problem is that 1 VPN 50 works fine with the VPN100, but with the second VPN50 I always get a dial time out error.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    1 gateway and 1 tunnel for every VPN50 on VPN100.
    Also, on VPN50 tunnel should be nailed up, on VPN100 not.
    Do not overlap subnets among sites. Or manage it correctly (NAT)

    If you want two VPN50 connect to VPN100, you need to create two VPN profiles on VPN100 for this scenario.
    Also, you can set different Proposal or Pre-shared key to avoid rule mismatch.
    Be aware that just mMontana mentioned do not overlap subnets among sites.
    If the VPN still down, you can go to Monitor>Log> Select IKE on category field to understand which phase failed.
  • Thank you kindly for the answers.

    I'm afraid there might be an address problem. I used the following addresses:

    VPN100 - VPN Connection 1: Local Policy:  LAN1_SUBNET INTERFACE SUBNET, 10.168.0.0/19
                               Remote Policy: VPN50-1     SUBNET, 10.168.166.0/24

    VPN100 - VPN Connection 2: Local Policy:  LAN1_SUBNET INTERFACE SUBNET, 10.168.0.0/19
                               Remote Policy: VPN50-2     SUBNET, 10.168.133.0/24

    VPN50-1 - VPN Connection: Local Policy:  LAN1_SUBNET INTERFACE SUBNET, 10.168.166.0/24
                              Remote Policy: VPN100      SUBNET, 10.168.0.0/19

    VPN50-2 - VPN Connection: LAN1_SUBNET INTERFACE SUBNET, 10.168.133.0/24
                              Remote Policy: VPN100      SUBNET, 10.168.0.0/19

    Is the addressing given above correct?

    The LOG entries from the VPN100 are:

    IKE - The cookie pair is : 0x45a07b4db5077d02 / 0xf1814d0662645e68
    IKE - [info] Send:
    IKE - The cookie pair is : 0xf1814d0662645e68 / 0x45a07b4db5077d02
    IKE - [info] Recv:
    Security Policy Control - Match default rule, DROP

    somebody knows what i'm doing wrong?
  • These LOG entries are repeated a few times and then there are the following entries:

    IKE - [INIT] Send:[SAr1][KE][NONCE][NOTIFY][NOTIFY][NOTIFY][CERTREQ][VID][VID][VID]
    IKE - [AUTH] Recv:[IDi][CERTREQ][AUTH][SA][TSi][TSr][NOTIFY][NOTIFY][NOTIFY][NOTIFY]
    IKE - [ID] : Tunnel [IKEv2_Tunnel_Site_to_Site_IHL] Phase 2 Remote policy mismatch
    IKE - [SA] : No proposal chosen
    IKE - IPsec SA negotiation failed

  • Thank you very much for your help.
    The link was very helpful. I had a typo in the dns entry in the VPN100. Now everything works fine.
    Thanks again for your help

    If your carrier allows it, you can view your APN settings in one of the following locations: Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Cellular Network. Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options > Mobile Data Network
