L2TP/IPSec Remote Access VPN

netsysadmin
Level 1
Level 1

Hi everyone,

I have a Cisco 2801 router with IOS version 12.4(3e) and C2801-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M.
I configured 2 site-to-site IPSec VPNs between the router & 2 other devices in France & Germany. Then, I configured an L2TP IPSec remote access VPN using pre-shared keys.

I used Windows Vista to connect to the router and set up an L2TP IPSec remote access VPN. Everything was working fine.

Then, one day, we needed to change the ip address of the outside interface from a public address to a private. In order to keep the 2 site-to-site VPNS working, I configured a loopback interface (Loopback0) with the old public IP address. This also worked. However, the remote access VPN is no longer working. I get an error when trying to connect.

Below are the interesting configuration extracts.

Anyone has any idea what could be wrong?

Hi,

Vista VPN not supported with Nat i.e moving public address to loopback has broken your once working config. The VPN termination must be on a public ip address of the router.

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Peter.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

The interface f0/1 had a public ip address initially and the 2 site-to-site VPNs were functioning normally.

In order to reclaim wasted public IP addresses (because of subnetting), I asked the ISP to change their public IP address into a private one and I changed the IP address on interface f0/1 accordingly.

Then, I created the loopback interface and assigned it the old public IP address of the f0/1 interface and added the following line to the configuration:

crypto map mapVPN  local-address Loopback0

The line above tells the router to use the IP address of interface Loopback0 to establish the VPN mapVPN.

Please note that this change did not affect the existing site-to-site VPNs.

However, the remote access VPN seems to have been affected. I'm not 100% sure that the reason for the remote access VPN not working is the change from public to private IP address.

I suppose that the line added above also tells the router to use the IP address of interface Loopback0 to establish the remote access dynamic VPN.


Hi

Are your sure there is no NAT going on between your VPN client and the

Loopback VPN terminating point? The Microsoft Agile VPN client does not

like NAT at the router however they do have some registry settings they

may help your situation. Have a look at

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926179

The easiest test would be to put your public address back to its original

location and see if the vpn clients can connect.

Regards,

Peter.
