Hello, I'm struggling with two SuSE servers to create an ipsec tunnel between them. One server (ora9i -> 10.20.45.223) is a Linux Enterprise Server8 with freeswan1.98 and kernel 2.4.21, the second (info70 -> 10.20.13.70) is a SuSE Professional 9.1 Server with kernel 2.6.5-7 and freeswan 2.04. The configuration file ipsec.conf (which I attach below) works and the tunnel gets established, but no ipsec0 interface is created for the server with the kernel 2.6, so I can't route packets forward the encrypted interface. anyone knows why no ipsec0 interface exits? or how is supposed I must route encrypted packets? thanks you. /---------/ info70:/tmp # ipsec auto --status 000 interface lo/lo ::1 000 interface lo/lo 127.0.0.1 000 interface eth0/eth0 10.20.13.70 000 interface dummy0/dummy0 172.16.1.1 000 %myid = (none) 000 debug none 000 000 "vpn-central": 172.16.1.1/32===10.20.13.70[@izquierdo]...10.20.45.223[@derecho]===172.16.1.2/32;erouted; eroute owner: #26 000 "vpn-central": ike_life: 3600s; ipsec_life: 300s; rekey_margin:145s; rekey_fuzz: 100%; keyingtries: 3 000 "vpn-central": policy: RSASIG+ENCRYPT+COMPRESS+TUNNEL+PFS+DISABLEARRIVALCHECK; prio: 32,32; interface: eth0; 000 "vpn-central": newest ISAKMP SA: #3; newest IPsec SA: #26; ora9i:~ # ip route show 172.16.1.1 via 10.20.13.70 dev ipsec0 10.20.0.0/16 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.20.45.223 10.20.0.0/16 dev ipsec0 proto kernel scope link src 10.20.45.223 172.16.0.0/16 dev dummy0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.2 info70:/tmp # ip route show 172.16.1.2 via 10.20.45.223 dev eth0 10.20.0.0/16 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 10.20.13.70 172.16.0.0/16 dev dummy0 proto kernel scope link src 172.16.1.1 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link info70: conn vpn-hq type=tunnel leftsubnet=172.16.1.1/32 left=10.20.13.70 leftid=@izquierdo rightid=@derecho right=10.20.45.223 rightsubnet=172.16.1.2/32 auto=add leftrsasigkey=........ rightrsasigkey=..... ora9i: conn vpn-branch type=tunnel leftsubnet=172.16.1.1/32 left=10.20.13.70 leftid=@izquierdo rightid=@derecho right=10.20.45.223 rightsubnet=172.16.1.2/32 auto=start leftrsasigkey=........ rightrsasigkey=..... -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d- s+:+() a- C+++ UBL+++$ P+ L+++ E--- W++ N+ o++ K- w--- O+ M+ V- PS+ PE+ Y++ PGP+>+++ t+ 5 X+$ R- tv-- b+++ DI D++>+++ G++ e- h+(++) !r !z ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
