Hello all,

I've been banging my head against the wall long enough, figured I'd see if I'm just missing the solution. For the life of me I cannot get the VPN to set up on the 9650C phone, but have it working on a multitude of other devices (iPads, android, etc.).

I'm using the L2TP server on the SonicOS 5.3 enhanced on a Sonicwall TZ100 UTM.

I've matched all the settings, but the problem is that it always fails Phase 2. The sonicwall log says that the payload failed verification after decryption, that it's a possible PSK mismatch. To my knowledge the settings match exactly, and since I have other devices, I think it's a peculiarity of the phone itself. Any ideas?

 
Is anything else using the WAN GroupVPN policy on the TZ100? If not here is what I would recommend.

Authentication Method: IKE using Preshared Secret
Proposals IKE
DH Group: 2
Encryption: AES-128
Authentication: MD5
Life Time: 432000

Proposals IPSec
Protocol: ESP
Encryption: AES-128
Authentication: MD5
Life Time: 432000

Advanced:
Uncheck Require authentication of VPN clients by XAUTH
Allow Unauthenticated VPN Access to: LAN Subnets

Clients:
Allow Connections to: This Gateway Only
Check Set Default Route as this Gateway

The whole VPN thing makes my head hurt at the best of times, roll on R8 that's all I'll say :)

Unfortunately the SIP softphones use the same router (iPhone, etc.).

So the settings are:

IKE using PSK

Phase 1:
DH: 2
Encrypt: 3DES
Auth: SHA1
Life: 28800

Phase 2:
Protocol: ESP
Encrypt: AES128
Auth: SHA1

No PFS
NetBIOS is enabled.
Authentication via XAUTH is required.

It works 'okay' for the iPhone. The only problem is sometimes it'll drop the connection randomly. The log on the sonicwall says that it received a PPP TERMINATE request from the client, which is confusing (but I thought unrelated to my issue).
 
then on the phone you'll need to use a different profile. I've had good luck wiht the Juniper profile working with SonicWALL and XAUTH. I have NOT had luck using the Generic profile with XAUTH.
