vpn rounting issue

firestartest

Hi

I have a set up that requires a vpn client to terminate a session on a router.

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.2

Network A is 192.168.5.0 and the client sits on network B on 131.6.100.0. The 2 routers that connect the networks have dual ethernet interfaces. and have 192.168.100.1 and 192.168.100.2 as the point to point link ethernet1/0

The client connects and obtains an IP address from the pool. When I try to connect or ping a device on the 192.168.5.0 network I get no reply.

If I add a default route on the router at Network A

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.2

that points to network router B everything works.

Why do I need this default route or have I configured this the wrong way?

Heres router A config.

I believe that it is due to the router forwarding the packet to the best supernet route available, (which is the behavior that ip classess sets) instead of looking to see if the destination address is one from the pool.

When you did not have the default route, the best supernet route is on the fe0/0 interface. When you added the default route to use e1/0 then the crypto map is applied and the response is sent properly.

What version of IOS is running, and what feature set is used?

You could use route maps to force the traffic destined for the pool address seen on the fe0/0 interface to be sent to the e1/0 interface instead of adding entries to the route table.

I have noticed that in every example config on Cisco website, they always have a default route confured on the headend device. But my setup is a LAN to LAN link that does not need a default route.
