Hi
I am currently testing a pepwave to cisco over Ipsec VPN. My problem is when i have the pepwave connected to a wired connection for example off a DSL the VPN tunnel works. However when I use the same parameters but with the GSM interface the tunnel does not pass phase 1 with the Malformed payload error
Would you able to share the IPSEC configuration & WAN interface info here ?

Included the Wan Config of the modem as well as a PDF of the tests that i have attempted. 2 of 3 worked, but it’s the third that i need to get functional. thanks for the feedback
You should configure the IPSec as Aggressive mode instead of Main mode since you are getting private IP address on cellular WAN.

Thanks for the response, I tried that already. In Main Mode it completes Phase 1 but drops while in aggressive mode phase 1 fails.
The address that we get is Nat’d out to a public and it’s a 1 to 1 NAT so should it still make a diff?
Main mode will not work unless both sides have a static IP. I recommend to check with your GSM carrier to see if this is supported and get the proper configuration settings. Thanks
