Error << probable authentication failure (mismatch of preshared secrets?): malformed payload in packet>>
Problem Synopsis:
Not able to establish connection.
 
Cause:
Preshared key mismatch.
 
For example
Preshared key specified at local end does not match with the one specified at the remote end 
 
Resolution:
To establish the connection successfully, same preshared key is to be specified at both the ends.
 
Change the preshared keys and try to establish the connection again.
