When NAT-T is ON in the IKE-peer configuration on the BIG-IP system, but there is no NATing in the network, IKE negotiation succeeds and brings up SAs correctly. But IPsec (ESP) packets will not pass because of a mismatch in the expected port number (4500 rather than 500) while receiving ESP packets.
IPsec packets are dropped and traffic loss.
NAT_T is ON on the BIG-IP system and there is no NATing in the network.
Do not configure NAT on the BIG-IP system if there is no NATing in the network.
NAT-T is configured but there is no NAT in the network, IPsec now works as expected.
