Do a guidbedit or dbedit and change Setting
"ike_use_largest_possible_subnets" to "false" .

If that doesn't work:

Configure the "max_subnet_for_range" table in $FWDIR/lib/user.def on the
management (SmartCenter) - always backup files before editing.

Table name and format:

max_subnet_for_range = {
<first_IP_in_range, last_IP_in_the_range; subnet_mask>,
<first_IP_in_range, last_IP_in_the_range; subnet_mask>,
...
<first_IP_in_range, last_IP_in_the_range; subnet_mask>
};

The network and subnet for IKE negotiation will be determined according
to the table above. Host's IP will be matched on a relevant entry in
this table, entry's subnet will be used for negotiation.
For ranges not specified in the table, the subnet mask will be
determined as if ike_use_largest_possible_subnets were set to "true",
wherever is relevant.

The "ike_use_largest_possible_subnets true" setting is there to cut down
on the number of phase 2 key exchanges but it can cause problems.
