Hi,
I have a hopefully fairly basic question regarding configuring some static NAT entries on a remote site 887 router which also has a IPSec tunnel configured back to our main office. I am fairly new to networking so forgive me if I ask some really silly questions!
I have been asked to configure some mobile phone "boost" boxes, which will take a mobile phone and send the traffic over the Internet - this is required because of the poor signal at the branch. These boxes connect via Ethernet to the local network and need a direct connection to the Internet and also certain UDP and TCP ports opening up.
There is only one local subnet on site and the ACL for the crypto map dictates that all traffic from this network to our head office go over the tunnel. What I wanted to do was create another vlan, give this a different subnet. Assign these mobile boost boxes DHCP reservations (there is no interface to them so they cannot be configured) and then allow them to break out to the Internet locally rather than send the traffic back to our head office and have to open up ports on our main ASA firewall.
From my research I came across this article (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080094634.shtml
So I went ahead and created a separate vlan and DHCP reservation and then also followed the guidelines outlined above about using a route-map to stop the traffic being sent down the tunnel and then configured static NAT statements for each of the four ports these boost boxes need to work. I configure the ip nat inside/outside on the relevant ports (vlan 3 for inside, dialer 1 for outside)
The configuration can be seen below for the NAT part;

! create route map

! static nat

ip nat inside source static udp 192.168.1.2 4500 85.233.188.47 4500 route-map POLICY-NAT extendable
Unfortunately this didn't work as expected, and soon after I configured this the VPN tunnel went down. Am I right in thinking that UDP port 500 is also the same port used by ISAKMP so by doing this configuration it effectively breaks IPSec?
Am I along the right lines in terms of configuration? And if not can anyone point me in the direction of anything that may help at all please?
Many thanks in advance
Brian
