  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Can a Sonicwall Hardware VPN Tunnel to a Linksys VPN Router BEFVP41?

Asked by sgarson1 in Network Software Firewalls

Tags: sonicwall, vpn, linksys

I have a Linksys to Linksys Firewall that works fine.  After installing a new Sonicwall, with VPN functionlality, I thought that it might be better to make the AVPN run from Linksys to Sonicwall.  The question is: can it be done or not.

Here is the Linksys Config:
Home Office Linksys Router:
Sonicwall Public UP is 192.168.168.250; Private IP 192.168.200.1
Linksys Router to Internet (VPN device) Private IP 192.168.168.2
Public IP 24.XX.XXX.XX

Remote Network: 192.168.1.0
Linksys Router to Internet (Remote VPN Device) Private ip 192.168.1.1
PUBLIC ip 66.YY.YYY.YYY

The pertinent Remote VPN Settings are:
Remote Secure Group: 192.168.200.0  (this is the WAN IP of the Sonicwall)
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Is this correct?  or should the remote group be the router, which is 192.168.168.2?

Can I run the remote Linksys VPN be connected to the Sonicwall VPN, i.e. are
they compatible?  Or do I need a Sonicwall client or firewall box on the other
side?

The entire remote VPN Settings on the Linksys  are:
Tunnel Name: BCC
Local Secure Group IP 192.168.1.0  Mask 255.255.255.0
Remote Secure Group: IP 192.168.200.0 Mask 255.255.255.0
Remote Security Gateway: IP 24.XX.XXX.XX
Encryption: 3DES
Autherntication: MD5
IKE Key Management
PFS
Pre-shared Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Key Lifetime: 3600 seconds
Phase 1: Agressive Mode
Proposal 1: 3DES Encryption
Authentication: MD5
Group: 768-bit
Key Lifetime: 28800 Seconds
Phase 2: #DES
MD5
PFS: On
Group 768 bit
Key Lifetime: 3600 seconds
Netbios broadcast On
Keep-Alive

How does this translate to the Sonicwall VPN settings that have some different terminology?  I have guessed at the serttings below:

General:
IPSec Keying Mode: IKE using Preshared Key
Name: Warner
IPSec Primary Gateway: 192.168.168.250
IPSec Secondary Gateway: blank
Shared Secret:  BetterCostControl1234
Destination Network: 192.168.1.0 Mask 255.255.255.0

Proposals:
IKE Phase 1:
Exchange: Aggressive Mode
DH Group: Group 1
Encrytion: 3DES
Auth: MD5
Lifetime: 28800

Ipsec Phase 2
Protocol:  ESP or AH ????
Encryption: 3DES
Auth: MD5
Enable Perfect Forward Secrecy
DH Group: Group 1 ???????
Life Time: 28800

Advanced:
Enable Keep Alive
Default LAN Gateway: 192.168.200.1

Thanks for any advice and assistance
