Hi George,

I don't remember exactly Cisco's commands to configure encryption, but
it seems you config misses encryption settings for IKE negotiation. Your
config on Cisco side should looks like the following:

! This is IKE encryption
crypto isakmp policy 10
  encryption ...
  hash ...
  group ...
  ...
! This is ESP encryption
crypto ipsec transform-set myset ...
!
crypto ipsec profile myprofile
  ...
  set transform-set myset
!
int tun151
 ...
 tunnel protection ipsec profile myprofile

and IKE encryption (isakmp policy) must match "ike" parameter in
connection definition, while ESP encryption (ipsec transform-set) must
match "esp" parameter.

Hope this'll help.

Hi all,
I am using strongswan version 5.3 on aws cloud and trying to set ipsec
with a ciscoasr in customer site. It is not a complex scenario but the
logs are telling me that strongswan is saying 'no proposals chosen'.

It is a ikev1, aes256, sha1 and df group 2.

Below are the configs:

Strongswan
=========
config setup
    charondebug="ike 1, knl 0, cfg 0"
conn BRKTUNEL
    authby=secret
     auto=route
     dpddelay=10
     dpdtimeout=30
     dpdaction=restart
     esp=aes256-sha-modp1024
     ike=aes256-sha-modp1024
     ikelifetime=86400s
     lifetime=1h
     keyexchange=ikev1
     keyingtries=%forever
     rekey=yes
     forceencaps=yes
     # Specifics
     left=2.2.2.2            # Local private ip
     leftsubnet=%dynamic[gre]   # Local VPC Subnet
     leftid=2.2.2.2
     leftfirewall=yes
     rightfirewall=no
     right=1.1.1.1       # Remote Tunnel IP
     rightid=%any
     rightsubnet=%dynamic[gre] # Remote VPC Subnet
     type=tunnel

Customer ASR config
================
crypto isakmp profile abcd
description Default profile

!
crypto ipsec profile ipsec

set isakmp-profile abcd
!
interface Tunnel151

ip tcp adjust-mss 1379
tunnel source 1.1.1.1
tunnel destination 2.2.2.2
tunnel vrf 10
tunnel protection ipsec profile ipsec
ip virtual-reassembly

The debug logs says 'no IKE config found for 1.1.1.1...2.2.2.2,
sending NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN'

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
George
