What information should I collect before I open a case for a Dynamic VPN that won’t connect? What logs or files will assist the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) with troubleshooting a Dynamic VPN on a SRX Series device?
After following the steps in Dynamic VPN Resolution Guide, KB17220 - Troubleshoot Dynamic VPN client that is not working, if the Dynamic VPN is still not working, which logs are needed to further troubleshoot the issue with JTAC?
The data to collect on the SRX and ways to capture the data are shown below:
