Question

I am using a L2TP/IPSEC connection to connect remotely to my RUT955 router.

But when I check the system log there are a lot of error regarding the L2TP settings.

This will repeat itself every 30-60 seconds.

see the example below:

Thu Jun 20 14:27:18 2019 daemon.info syslog: 13[CFG] received stroke: initiate 'IPsecPol'

Thu Jun 20 14:27:18 2019 daemon.info syslog: 13[IKE] unable to resolve %any, initiate aborted

Thu Jun 20 14:27:18 2019 daemon.info syslog: 13[MGR] tried to checkin and delete nonexisting IKE_SA

 Is there something that I need to do, or something I need to change?

greetings,

Mathijs

Hello,

if IPSec have no connection, every 30s it tries to establish one. If you do not entered right peer address it show this error at every try.

It shouldn't cause any problems.

Is it possible to hide the IPSec messages in the system log?

You can edit /etc/init.d/ipsec script and add lines to function prepare_strongswan_config():

echo "syslog { daemon {default = -1} auth {default = -1} }" >> "$File_strongswan"

Thanks for your answer!

Is there an example how to edit these files?

You need to ssh to router, use vi editor

vi /etc/init.d/ipsec

add line above and save
