Question regarding site to site VPN

[sfisher899]

Hello,

I hope you may be able to help. I am a little confused regarding the site-to-site VPN tunnel configuration (remote end will be a Cisco PIX).

Best regards

Stephen

I get the following error when attempting to commit using PANOS 4.0

The local gateway IP is 199.55.55.1. The remote network is 172.31.31.0/24. Why I am getting the above ?

Hi Stephen,

It's a bit tough to read your configuration in this format.  Could you please paste in the CLI output?  I think the issue is that you're using 172.31.31.0/24 as an IP address.  .0 isn't a legal address so the commit is failing.  I'll be able to confirm if you can paste in the IKE gateway configuration and the IPSec tunnel configuration.

Thanks,
