How do I fix error "overlapping encryption domains"?

Fully overlapping encryption domains are supported, partially overlapping encryption domains isn't. In other words, if you have two firewalls in a MEP configuration they must use exactly the same encryption domain.

Use the command line tool "vpn overlap_encdom" which will give you info on your encryption domains.

A firewall node must be marked as "exportable for securemote" before its topology info is calculated. One possible cause of the error partially overlapping encryption domain can be caused if a firewalled node (perhaps it doesn't even have VPN-1 checked) is marked as exportable in the objects_5_0.C file.

To check this, search for this line:
:exportable (true)

If you find it below an object that shouldn't be exportable, change it to false.
