Hello All,
I am running a Checkpoint cluster on R80.40 and I am trying to connect a VPN to AWS with BGP. The AWS side was built by a third party and I am working on getting it verified. I have downloaded the config file from AWS for my version of checkpoint. I have configured it to the letter except for Dead Peer Detection DPD. I do not think I need this to get the tunnel going? I have been using
tcpdump -nni any port 500 or esp and host <enter_peer_ip_here>
to watch the tunnel. I can see phase 1 gets setup and then it fails at phase 2. I say fails loosely as the logs just keep referencing phase 2. It feels a lot like I'm just shooting in the dark as I didn't setup the AWS side and I am not clear on any log locations that might help with this on my firewalls. Are there any techniques that I should be using to troubleshoot this or logs I can look at that might give me some more information? Here are some of the log data that I am seeing now from the command above. I'm not 100% sure what I should be looking for here as I do not have a reference for the log syntax. Really looking for a life line here anything would probably help at this pont.
