Site-Site VPN PIX501 and CISCO Router

mactej6228
Level 1
Level 1

Hello Experts,

I'm having a test lab at home, I configure a site-to-site vpn using Cisco PIX501 and CISCO2691 router, for the configurations i just some links on the internet because my background on VPN configuration is not too well, for the routers configuration i follow this link:

www.firewall.cx/cisco-technical-knowledgebase/cisco-routers/867-cisco-router-site-to-site-ipsec-vpn.html

and for the pIX configuration I just use the VPN wizard of pix. Done all the confgurations but ping is unsuccessful. Hope you can help me with this, don't know what needs to be done here (Troubleshooting).

Attached here is my router's configuration, topology as well as the pix configuration. Hope you can help me w/ this. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mark,

I went through the Config of the ASA

I can see that the Nat exempt is stil missing there

please add the following

access-list nonat permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.21.1.0 255.255.255.0

nat nside) 0 access-list nonat

Then try it should work

Thanks

Hi Mark,

Now the config seems to be fine.

Let me know if the ping is working or not.

If it is not working then try to take the capture on the Pix

please follow the link to apply the capture

Hello bro,

Thanks for your reply, it ain't gonna work still when I ping from the router to PIX, it gave me this output "U.U.U.U".  By the way bro, below are the steps that I consider in configuring this ipsec site-to-site vpn,

please correct if where i got wrong on the configuration, my knowledge on vpn is still minimal, this will help me understand more. Response are highly appreciated.

For Simplicity sake we'll consider this Topology:

        PIX501 --------- Internet ---------- C2691(R1) 

    ip behind pix: 192.168.1.0 /24             ip behind R1: 172.21.1.0 /24

    internet facing ip: 1.1.1.1 /30               Internet facing ip: 2.2.2.2 /30        

Ipsec S2S vpn tunnel config:

@PIX

Step 1. Configure nat.

    PIX(Config)# nat (INSIDE) 1 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

    PIX(Config)# nat (OUTSIDE) 1 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.252

Step 2. Default route.

    PIX(Config)# route OUTSIDE 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.2 1

Step 3. IKE Phase 1. [main mode]

    PIX(Config)# isakmp enable outside

    PIX(Config)# crypto isakmp policy 1

    PIX(config-crypto-policy)# authentication pre-share

    PIX(config-crypto-policy)# hash sha

    PIX(config-crypto-policy)# group 2

    PIX(config-crypto-policy)# encryption 3des

    PIX(config-crypto-policy)# exit

    PIX(config)# crypto isakmp key cisco address 2.2.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.252

    PIX(config)#

Step 4. IKE Phase2, IPsec Policy to use in IPsec TUnnel. [Quick Mode]

    PIX(config)#  crypto ipsec transform-set MYSET esp-sha-hmac esp-3des

Step 5. Mapping the policy above.

    PIX(config)# crypto map MYMAP 10 ipsec-isakmp

    PIX(config)# crypto map MYMAP 10 set transform-set MYSET

    PIX(config)# crypto map MYMAP 10 set peer 2.2.2.2

    PIX(config)# access-list TO_ENCRYPT_TRAFFIC extended  permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 172.21.1.0 255.255.255.0

   PIX(config)# crypto map MYMAP 10 match address TO_ENCRYPT_TRAFFIC

   PIX(config)#  

Step 6. Apply To interface

    PIX(config)# crypto map MYMAP interface OUTSIDE

Note: THe same configuration on R1

Hi Bro

Both sides of the LAN have the same segment 192.168.1.0/24???? If yes, then this is called overlapping network, which Cisco has a solution for this.

By the way, some of the steps you've listed above is wrong.

Please paste here the latest show run for both router and FW.

Hi Mark,

I went through the configuration and found that there is some misconfigration on the router as well as on the pix

Changes that are required on the Pix

no nat (INSIDE) 0 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

You dont need the access-lsit 50

You dont need access-list 90 as well

no access-list OUTSIDE_access_in extended permit ip network2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

so you need to remove this as well as the access-group from the outside interface

make sure that the sysopt connection permit-vpn is there .

you can caheck it using the command

show run all sysopt

and the rest of the configs are fine on the pix

Changes that are required on the router

no ip nat inside source list 10 interface FastEthernet0/0 overload

ip access-list extended 113

5 deny ip 172.21.1.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

10 permit ip 172.21.1.0 0.0.0.255 any

ip nat inside source list 113 interface fa0/0 overload.

Try this it should work.

If That doesn't wrk then upload the new the config after making the changes

Thanks Raj

Hello Kumar,

Still can't go through, Unsuccesful pings. See my configs:

Hi Mark/Ram,

Thanks for pointing the route.

I overlooked that part.

However the phase 1 policy on the router is correct as SHA is the default and that's the reason it is not showing in the config

However in the ASA config we actually dont need to remove this as it is not in use.

no crypto ipsec transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA esp-3des esp-sha-hmac

no crypto map OUTSIDE_map 1 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

the crypto map that is bind is not the OUTSIDE_map

So actually only need to remove the Route

The only changes that we need is

On Router

no ip route 172.21.1.0 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.1

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 2.2.2.1

Config change that is required on the ASA

no route OUTSIDE 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.1 1 


route OUTSIDE 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.1.1.XXXX
