The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • 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.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Cisco PIX and Zyxel Zywall Site to site VPN Problem

Asked by SELSupport in Network Software Firewalls, Cisco PIX Firewall, Enterprise Firewalls

Tags: zywall, pix, zyxel, cisco

I have been tasked with setting up a VPN tunnel with a business partner so they can access our systems and vice versa. The range of IPs reachable has been limited on each side to a portion of a subnet. The problem is my firewall is a Cisco PIX, but their firewall is a Zyxel Zywall and is managed by a third party. You can only imagine the blame-shifting! We can get the VPN tunnels up and running, both phase I and phase II, but no data passes between them.
I had to (reluctantly) give the third party company access to my PIX and they have confirmed the configuration. They are now blaming it on an internal router on my network, which I have confirmed not to be the case (with a protocol analyser).
Thing is I was looking at my PIX again and I'm starting to think it is a problem with my side. I can see packets have been decrypted, but none encrypted which would suggest to me that my PIX isn't encapsulating my traffic. Can anyone give me any troubleshooting tips?
My output for the said tunnel for show crypto ipsec sa follows:

    Crypto map tag: mydynamic, local addr: x.x.x.x (to protect the innocent)

      local ident (addr/mask/prot/port): (10.1.2.48/255.255.255.248/0/0)
      remote ident (addr/mask/prot/port): (192.168.20.56/255.255.255.248/0/0)
      current_peer: x.x.x.x (to protect the innocent)

      #pkts encaps: 0, #pkts encrypt: 0, #pkts digest: 0
      #pkts decaps: 36, #pkts decrypt: 36, #pkts verify: 36

Thanks greatly for your help, in advance!
