With ikev1isakmp every ipsec sa is created with a quick mode exchange, which contains the sa, proposal and transform payloads used to negotiate the algorithms see rfc 2408, section 4. The responder states that it is unable to locate a peer, which indicates that it could not find a matching phase 1, which implies that no matching identifier could be located. There are a few different set of things need to be checked. Authentication header ah, which essentially allows authentication of the sender of data, and encapsulating security payload esp, which supports both authentication of the sender and encryption of data as well. Please make sure that in the phase1 settings section, the local id type and remote id type are both specified as name, and in the phase2 settings section, the proposal is not.

So to be able to set the localaddress the way you need, you have to clone the autocreated peer using ip ipsec peer add copyfromfind where dynamic and secretyoursecret or something similar, and then do interface l2tpserver server set useipsecno to remove the dynamically created peer. Ipsec encryption allows you to set up kind of a shielded tunnel no one can tap into your data stream and the data is also encrypted, so even if someone. Phase 1 identifier mismatch when the identifier does not match, the initiator only shows that the authentication failed, but does not give a reason.
