DHCP Relay Over IPSEC VPN between a PIX and VPN Concentrator

[criitdept]

Dear all,

I am having problems getting DHCP relay working at a remote site

At the Main site i have a Windows 2003 DHCP Server behind a VPN Concentrator 3005

At the remote site i have a Cico PIX 501.

The VPN is workings correctly and can ping from both ends.

Unfortunately no matter what config i put into the Pix i can't get it to relay to the clients.

the config i have tried on the clients is..

dhcprelay server 192.168.1.1 outside

dhcprelay enable inside

dhcprelay setroute inside

and

dhcprelay server Outside_IP outside

dhcprelay enable inside

dhcprelay setroute inside

and also have included tried both with the following lines in the access lists

access-list inside_nat0_outbound permit ip Outside_IP 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

access-list outside_cryptomap_10 permit ip Outside_IP 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

Can anyone help?

Thanks

James

Hi James,

Is there a VPN between the to sites?

[criitdept]

The VPN is working.

I have found a few articles and they have said that i need to setup a GRE VPN over ipsec to allow the dhcp broadcast, unfortunately this requires version 7 of the IOS on the PIX and as i only have a 501, this runs 6.3. so i'm now going to have to rethink my design.

Thanks for your help.

James

We ran into the same issue. Didn't found any solution either. Any hints welcome.
