9650 VPN Phone with Watchguard 1

[TheSmash]

So, I finally got the boss to buy a 9650 (for himself!) which I'm trying to set up as a VPN phone with a Watchguard X2500.

Got is set up on the system fine (once I'd worked out the MUTE 27238 #!). So went for the VPN setup. What an arse you have to enter a line into the 46xxsettings.txt to allow you just to enable VPN on the phone. Oh well, seems a bit pointless.

I notice that the VPN menu is a little different to the 46xx handsets so it took some time learning the new interface. Now I can't seem to get it to connect up. I get through Exchanging Keys, Building VPN tunnel and then it fails with "No response to IKE Phase 2".

I'm using Juniper/Netscreen with PSK and sort of followed the setup which was posted on here (which I go working a year ago with a 5610 handset). but no joy.

Has anyone else got any good success stories with the 96xx handsets in VPN mode? Any pointers?

I appreciate any suggestions.

The first one sets it on or off.

The second line enables you view or modify the option.

Just pick the one you want. Anything with a ## in front gets ignored.

Mike,
I know the ## ignores.
I just don't get what the "SET NVVPNMODE 1" is for?
the "## Set VPN Mode On (On Boot)" is what turns it on?

Set vpn mode on is just text and not an option
The option to turn it on is the nvvpnmode option.

I didn't use this. I manually added the line;

SET VPNPROC 2

Into the 46xxsettings.txt file. When the handset booted up I enabled the VPN on the handset.

Ok... now its asking for VPN username? All the documentation I can find refers to this, but never says how to setup of what the default is...
What is the user name and password by default? or where do i set this up?

Try vpn (876)
This can be set in the 46xxsettings.txt too

Put this in the text file:

SET NVVPNCODE 876

This will make the code VPN (876)
