it seems to me you have attached the wrong config file!!

 

by: globalonline2Posted on 2009-10-22 at 09:37:20ID: 25636134

Sorry, quite right,

Your VPN pool of addresses is the same as your internal subnet.  I would recommend changing it to something different.  It's likely causing routing issues.  It can't return traffic back to the VPN users since the subnet is directly connected on the inside.  In addition to that I wouldn't recommend using 192.168.1.x as a VPN pool since most home setups use that subnet in most cases as well.

 

by: globalonline2Posted on 2009-10-23 at 06:37:12ID: 25644255

Thanks for your response.  I went ahead and reloaded factory-default, created a different subnet for the VPNPool and added a static route to connect them.  Pretty much a straight up standard config it seems.  But no RCV traffic.  I've attached the new config.  Thanks!

remove this line
route inside 192.168.5.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1
this line is saying that if you need to find 192.168.5.0/24 your next hop is 192.168.1.1 which is not the case.
add this line
crypto dynamic-map outside_dyn_map 20 set reverse-route
this should take care of inserting static entries into the routing table pointing out of your outside interface for remote vpn clients establishing a vpn connection.
when the vpn is up do a show route to check the routing table

if you want vpn traffic to bypass acl add
sysopt connection permitipsec
otherwise set up acl allowing vpn traffic

 

by: globalonline2Posted on 2009-10-23 at 07:22:26ID: 25644706

Thanks for your help.  Made your recommended changes.  Still no connection internally, VPN client and ASA show 0 RCV.  Here is sh route:

Result of the command: "sh route"

S    0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [1/0] via XXX.XXX.28.74, outside
C    192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 is directly connected, inside
S    192.168.5.10 255.255.255.255 [1/0] via XXX.XXX.28.74, outside
C    XXX.XXX.28.72 255.255.255.252 is directly connected, outside

Additionally, when I try to ping any internal device from the CLI of the ASA I get ????  I can ping the inside int okay.

 

by: globalonline2Posted on 2009-10-23 at 11:49:18ID: 25647201

I also tried the sysopt path to no avail.  Any other ideas?
