i just had a weird behavior. i have several ipsec tunnels for clients using the ncp secure entry client.
they all have tunnels configured with certificates and a dynamic peer ip. yesterday i created two new tunnels but forgot to check the nat-t checkbox. and some of the users couldn't get a connection via rdp. my understanding was that it shouldn't impact other vpn tunnels as they established the connection to the correct tunnel with nat-t enabled. i don't know if its really the nat-t checkbox but it was the only difference to the other tunnels i configured.
pan os version is 8.0.5 and app version is 793-4594.
is this a design failure?

Hi,
Sorry I think a bit more clarity is required.
If NAT-T is required, but not enabled, the ipsec/phase2 should not stand up at all and your users wouldn't be able to get at anything (not simply RDP). NAT-T should impact the establishment of your new tunnels, I don't see how (short of a very unusual bug) that it would affect encap traffic inside another tunnel.
Thanks,
Shannon

Hi Shannon,
thank you for your help.
to answer your questions.
1. i could not test the new tunnels, because i was not at customers side and i can not use the ncp client anymore (have no license)
2. could also not be tested
3. yes even a ping does'nt go through the tunnel. But there were other tunnels that were not affected and worked properly.
4. i compared the configuration of other tunnels to the new tunnels and this was the only difference. as soon as i disabled the new tunnels everything worked just fine again.
5. the tunnels using ncp as client are all dynamic
Kind Regards,
Gregor
