Tags: #Firmware Update #VPN #L2TP/IPsec
Model: ER707-M2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3

I have a number of ER605v1 running 1.3.1 still out in the field, and they now home back to an ER707M2 which is running 1.2.2.  All is good.  Upgrading the ER707M2 to 1.2.3 (Oct-2024) today caused the VPN tunnels to never come up, downgrading to 1.2.2 brings it right back.  No other changes.

 

ER707M2 is the server, ER605v1 are the clients.

@Clive_A 

 

Apologies for not mentioning that the sites were under controller management and not standalone.  Each site is being managed by a 5.13.22 linux controller in a Docker container (running on various platforms, not that it matters).  I didn't mention it initially as it was only the ER707 firmware that produced change, regardless, I have provided screen shots of my controller setups for the server and clients after getting the 'Cannot Recreate' note from the dev team.  Looking forward to hearing back.
