Question

PIX 501 - VPN and NAT broke

Asked by: nwru

I recently have changed ISPs in a branch office. There was a VPN between the offices that worked before the switch, but I can't seem to get it working again. I have NAT working again, but only on a single computer(192.168.30.150). As you can see, I had 6 IPs to play with before, but now I only have 2, so I had to change things up a bit. There have been no hardware changes. I'll try to give as much relevant information as I can.

So this simple ISP change has turned into a big ordeal. Where it stands now is that no traffic can go between the two private networks over the VPN, whereas it could before. Only 192.168.30.150 can get on the the Internet through NAT and no other machines can and they all could before too. I was able to SSH to the PIX after changing only the ip address and route commands. I was able to Remote Desktop to 192.168.30.150 via port 3389 after changing the global and static commands. I'm no Cisco expert and I've been trying to figure this out for 16 hours straight, so I'm burnt out and desperate. Please advise. Thanks.

>Only 192.168.30.150 can get on the the Internet through NAT and no other machines can and they all could before too.
Do you still have a nat (inside) statement?
nat (inside) 1 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0

For the VPN, try:
clear cry isa

sho cry is sa
(looking for QM_IDLE with peer ip)
sho access-list
(looking for hit count increases on vpntohq line)

I like to use two different acls for two different processes. One for nat and one for the crypto map match:

access-list nat_zero permit ip 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
access-list vpntohq permit ip 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
nat (inside) 0 access-list nat_zero
crypto map map1 69 match address vpntohq
crypto map map1 interface outside

Now you can use sho access-list to see hitcounts on each process for easier troubleshooting.

Instead of use the same crypto map entries for both peers (even though it's really the same peer), I would do this:

crypto map map1 69 ipsec-isakmp
crypto map map1 69 match address vpntohq
crypto map map1 69 set peer 167.x.x.230
crypto map map1 69 set transform-set set1
crypto map map1 70 ipsec-isakmp
crypto map map1 70 match address vpntohq
crypto map map1 70 set peer 167.x.x.242
crypto map map1 70 set transform-set set1

You can also try adding (on the pix)

sysopt connect permit-ipsec

So vpntohq is indeed getting hit, but I don't know what to make of it.

sysopt connect permit-ipsec didn't seem to do anything. clear cry isa just took out my isakmp statements. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or not.

by: nwruPosted on 2005-06-23 at 05:58:03ID: 14283497

and the nat statement is still there. I tried changing it to:

nat (inside) 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0 0

to no avail. I just changed it back to:

nat (inside) 1 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 0 0

just now.

Let's see you complete PIX config as it is right now..

From sho cry is sa:
MM_NO_STATE
Did you ever see it go to:
MM_KEY_EXCHANGE
Or any other state?

The MM_NO_STATE often points to a mismatch in the pre-shared keys. You might want to re-enter the keys..

by: nwruPosted on 2005-06-23 at 06:21:34ID: 14283697

I have not seen the "sho cry is sa" in any other state than MM_NO_STATE. I will try resetting the keys in a minute. This is right after a fresh reload:

With the hitcounts on the acls increasing, it appears to be a key problem, or something on the router...
Try:
debug cry is sa

OIC the problem...
>ip address outside 68.x.x.217 255.255.255.252
>static (inside,outside) 68.x.x.217 192.168.30.150 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

You have the whole IP address of the outside interface mapped to an inside host. BIG NO-NO...
You must remove the static line... we'll get you new static's for port redirect for ssh/rdp after we get everything else working...

no static (inside,outside) 68.x.x.217 192.168.30.150 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
clear xlate

Unfortunately, I need the SSH and RDP to config the PIX, as I am not on location and can't access it any other way. Any way around this? I figured that I would still be able to SSH in, but apparently not.

by: nwruPosted on 2005-06-23 at 07:49:40ID: 14284605

I changed the:
static (inside,outside) 68.x.x.217 192.168.30.150 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0
to:
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 3389 192.168.30.150 3389 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

Does that help at all?

by: nwruPosted on 2005-06-23 at 07:57:37ID: 14284689

I think I might have it. I do have connectivity now, but am getting about 50% packet loss. I'll try to narrow this down a bit.

by: nwruPosted on 2005-06-23 at 08:57:05ID: 14285437

I fixed the packet loss problem by putting all of the crypto map commands back together into "69." Perhaps they need to be together?

In any case, the only differences between the above config and the current config are that static command and the crypto map thing. Perhaps a well-timed reload helped get the VPN back into shape too.

My wild guess is that the PIX would go "hey, lets have a VPN party, please RSVP", the router in HQ would go "allright", and the response would get routed right to 192.168.30.150, who would just throw it out, because he's anti-social.

Anyways, your expertise is greatly appreciated lrmoore. You're a life saver(and a job saver). Thanks again.

by: lrmoorePosted on 2005-06-23 at 10:53:09ID: 14286681

Woohoo!
Sorry about the delay. Been busy with real job....

Glad to hear that your're working, and good report on the packet loss. I didn't realize that would happen...

- Cheers!
