Usually this means there is a networking issue or you have the wrong DHCP address populated.
Were you able to open a case and sort this out?
Hi,
Eventually i had opened a case with the Support team, and they advised to enable the aggressively and fully recycle expired DHCP leases in advance. Network>DHCP>Advanced settings>Others.
But our issue got resolved automatically when the traffic was shifted from active to standby unit, after that we did not face the VPN ip allocation issue, Please try these two and check.
Hope it helps.
