LOG MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
Active connection allowed 
exceeded
The IKE process for a new connection failed because the limit 
of simultaneous phase 2 SAs has been reached.
Start Phase 2: Quick Mode Phase 2 Quick Mode has started.
Verifying Remote ID failed: The connection failed during IKE phase 2 because the router 
and the peer’s Local/Remote Addresses don’t match.
Verifying Local ID failed: The connection failed during IKE phase 2 because the router 
and the peer’s Local/Remote Addresses don’t match.
IKE Packet Retransmit The router retransmitted the last packet sent because there 
was no response from the peer.
Failed to send IKE Packet An Ethernet error stopped the router from sending IKE 
packets.
Too many errors! Deleting SA An SA was deleted because there were too many errors.
Phase 1 IKE SA process done The phase 1 IKE SA process has been completed.
Duplicate requests with the 
same cookie
The router received multiple requests from the same peer 
while still processing the first IKE packet from the peer.
IKE Negotiation is in 
process
The router has already started negotiating with the peer for 
the connection, but the IKE process has not finished yet.
No proposal chosen Phase 1 or phase 2 parameters don’t match. Please check all 
protocols / settings. Ex. One device being configured for 
3DES and the other being configured for DES causes the 
connection to fail.
Local / remote IPs of 
incoming request conflict 
with rule <%d>
The security gateway is set to “0.0.0.0” and the router used 
the peer’s “Local Address” as the router’s “Remote Address”. 
This information conflicted with static rule #d; thus the 
connection is not allowed.
Cannot resolve Secure 
Gateway Addr for rule <%d>
The router couldn’t resolve the IP address from the domain 
name that was used for the secure gateway address.
Peer ID: <peer id> <My remote 
type> -<My local type>
The displayed ID information did not match between the two 
ends of the connection.
vs. My Remote <My remote> -
<My remote> 
The displayed ID information did not match between the two 
ends of the connection.
vs. My Local <My local>-<My 
local>
The displayed ID information did not match between the two 
ends of the connection.
Send <packet> A packet was sent.
Recv <packet>  IKE uses ISAKMP to transmit data. Each ISAKMP packet 
contains many different types of payloads. All of them show in 
the LOG. Refer to RFC2408 – ISAKMP for a list of all 
ISAKMP payload types.
Recv <Main or Aggressive> 
Mode request from <IP> 
The router received an IKE negotiation request from the peer 
address specified.
Send <Main or Aggressive> 
Mode request to <IP>
The router started negotiation with the peer.
Invalid IP <Peer local> / 
<Peer local>
The peer’s “Local IP Address” is invalid.
