Cisco Pix 7.2 Remote Access VPN Configuration

Asked by ncisupport in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Cisco PIX Firewall, IPSec Security Protocol

Tags: PIX, Cisco, Firewall, VPN, remote access

I have been having a considerable amount of headache with a PIX 515 (128MB) firewall.

Here is a snipped dump of my PIX configuration:

PIX Version 7.2(1)

Now, I can connect to the VPN just fine. However, when I try and communicate to any of the 10.1.1.0/24 hosts I am not able to do so. I get the following error in the PIX log:

%PIX-3-713042: IKE Initiator unable to find policy: Intf 1, Src: 10.1.1.10, Dst: 10.13.37.102

It seems to me that there is an issue with the data coming back from the pix through the VPN to my client. In the above example the error was generated when I attempted to SSH from 10.13.37.102 (VPN client) to 10.1.1.10 (a host running SSHD).

I believe this error is because the following line must be applied:

crypto map ras-vpn-crypto-map 1 match address ras-vpn-rules


However, the interesting bit here is that when I enter this line, the PIX takes it without showing a single error. Immediately after I run 'sh run' and the match address line does not show in the config. I have tried rebooting and re-running the command to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
