New IPsec VPN features

FortiOS 5.6 includes the following IPsec VPN improvements:

  • Including a phase 2 selector is no longer mandatory.
  • Dynamic routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP) is supported over IPsec VPN tunnels.

IPsec VPN features supported by FortiOS 5.6 for FortiGate-7000

FortiOS 5.6 for FortiGate-7000 supports the following IPsec VPN features.

  • Interface-based IPsec VPN (also called route-based IPsec VPN) is supported.
  • Static routes can point at IPsec VPN interfaces.
  • Dynamic routing (RIP, OSPF, BGP) over IPsec VPN tunnels is supported.
  • Remote networks with 16- to 32-bit netmasks are supported.
  • IPsec VPN tunnels must terminate on the primary (master) FPM.
  • Site-to-Site IPsec VPN is supported.
  • Dialup IPsec VPN is supported. The FortiGate-7000 can be the dialup server or client.

FortiOS 5.6 for FortiGate-7000 does not support the following IPsec VPN features.

  • Policy-based IPsec VPN is not supported. Only tunnel or interface mode IPsec VPN is supported.
  • Policy routes cannot be used for communication over IPsec VPN tunnels.
  • Remote networks with 0- to 15-bit netmasks are not supported. Remote networks with 16- to 32-bit netmasks are supported.
  • IPv6 clear-text traffic (IPv6 over IPv4 or IPv6 over IPv6) is not supported.
  • Load balancing IPsec VPN tunnels to multiple FPMs is not supported.
