    1. I think so, too. Here is an extract from Cisco documentation:

      Verify for incompatible ISAKMP policy
      If the configured ISAKMP policies do not match the proposed policy by the remote peer, the router tries the default policy of 65535. If that does not match either, it fails the ISAKMP negotiation.

      The show crypto isakmp sa command shows the ISAKMP SA to be in MM_NO_STATE, meaning the main-mode failed.
