Hey guys,

I am getting these errors between two Sonicwall's in a site-to-site config and it's becoming really frustrating. Over 22,000 of the same exact two errors per day being logged. Now, I am beginning to believe that these errors are erronneous because the VPN itself works great. Here they are...

Network 1 Logs:
IKE Responder: No match for proposed remote network address
IKE Responder: IPSec proposal does not match (Phase 2)

Netwrok 2 Logs:
IKE Initiator: Start Quick Mode (Phase 2).
IKE Initiator: Received notify. NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN

I have read the big PDF provided by Sonicwall with common error messages and misc messages, and they say that the VPN settings on both sides don't match, even though they do... Perfectly! Exactly the same authentication, encryption, etc for both phase 1 and phase 2. I have checked and re-checked, and have also tried every other possible combination of different types of authentication, encryption, etc and still no joy. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

Side Note: I have multiple other site-to-sites setup that work perfectly with no errors.

That is exactly what the messages mean, but I would bet on an OS/firmware bug, no doubt. I would look on some SonicWall forums...

UPDATE:

Just in case anyone else comes across these errors, here is an answer I recieved from a Sonicwall support ticket...

There is no problem with the configuration of your Site to Site, the problem you are having is related to Standard firmware. To be honest I would just ignore these messages, this wont cause issues with your tunnel and is related to the unit being in transparent mode. If the transparent unit was running Enhanced firmware you wouldnt see this behavior. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Sounds like a load of BS to me as both end of the tunnel have been updated with the latest firmware, but whatever. I will keep trying to find an answer to this, and if I get it figured out, will post back here with the results.

I would downgrade to a known stable (or "mostly stable") firmware level. I really think it is firmware. There are no actual errors---just a bug that reports errors that are not there!
