Hi All

I have FreeBSD-11.1-STABLE (r327786) + strongswan-5.6.2_1

Then IKEv1 configured and two ipsec interfaces connected to 
Cisco-routers works fine at first sight

You need both leftsubnet=0.0.0.0/0 and rightsubnet=0.0.0.0/0 configured 
at strongswan to protocols like OSPF works properly.

I'll try to do more tests later.


Thanks Andrey!
