Multiple VPN Phones from same location

[djuplift]

I am trying to configure a Juniper SSG5 to allow multiple VPN phone connections from the same location. Everything works fine with one phone active, as soon as the second phone connects they both stop working correctly.

Has anyone tried to do this with any success?

When you use multiple phones is then not a better idea to use another router?


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

Huh? why would a use a different router for each phone at a single location?

You do not get my point.
IF you have multiple phones on one location then you better use a router to router VPN.

Some routers do not like multiple tunnels from the same external ip address.

I understood your point but that's not really an option that I have for this job.

Also I just solved the problem:

Each phone has to log in with a different XAUTH user account, the rest of the VPN settings are the same on all the phones.

Using there own user name and password is indeed required
The group name and PSK can be the same for every phone.
