Ipsec/l2tp remote access stops working after reboot (when vrrp is present in the configuration).
Closed, WontfixPublicBUG

Description

Hello.

Not sure if this is a bug per se, or different configuration is needed for it to work. I have only noticed it after upgrading to 1.1.8 from 1.1.7 (which involved a reboot) The same behaviour happens on 1.1.7 and 1.1.8.

Steps to reproduce on clean vyos installation:

  1. load & commit basic config that has ipsec/l2tp remote access configured
interfaces {
    ethernet eth0 {
        address 192.168.1.100/24
        duplex auto 
        smp_affinity auto
        speed auto
    loopback lo {
    }
  }
}
protocols {
    static {
        route 0.0.0.0/0 {
            next-hop 192.168.1.1 {
            }
        }
    }
}
system {
    config-management {
        commit-revisions 20
    }
    console {
        device ttyS0 {
            speed 9600
        }
    }
    host-name vyos
    login {
        user vyos {
            authentication {
                encrypted-password $1$5HsQse2v$VQLh5eeEp4ZzGmCG/PRBA1
                plaintext-password ""

  1. Ipsec/l2tp remote access works fine (tested on Windows 10 and IOS) at this stage.
  1. load & commit config that has only vrrp added to the previous configuration.

  1. Ipsec/l2tp remote access works fine (tested on Windows 10 and IOS) at this stage. I can restart vpn or vrrp services and I can always reconnect without a problem.
  1. reboot vyos system
  1. suddenly it is impossible to connect via l2tp/ipsec. restarting vpn or vrrp services does not help.
