VPN on a PIX 501

PPTP is for the client that comes with Windows XP/2000.  Ipsec is the way to go with a RADIUS server.  Here's the code:

where 192.168.1.0/24 = inside net
where 192.168.1.254 = RADIUS server

NOTE: aaa code IS case-sensitive

access-list 100 permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
access-list 100 permit ip 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

ip local pool aaapool 10.10.10.1-10.10.10.254

nat (inside) 0 access-list 100

Let me know if you have any questions.

Tom

If you want to make it simpler, you can do it without RADIUS but I don't recommend it.

Just leave this out:

aaa-server RADIUS (inside) host 192.168.1.254 <shared key> timeout 5
crypto map vpnpeer client authentication RADIUS

Make sure to remove the crypto from the outside interface, make the crypto changes, and then re-apply the crypto to the interface:

For example,

no crypto map vpnpeer interface outside
no crypto map vpnpeer client authentication RADIUS
crypto map vpnpeer interface outside

Tom

Thanks for the fast response. But I dont have a Radius server. There has to be 0 cost on this setup.

Is there a cost for the Radius server?

oops response sent before i read your second.

Tip for the future...I would also remove the passwords when you post your code.  There is software out there that can decipher them.  You mask your IP and all that but you never can be too safe.

Tom

There is no cost if you already own a Windows NT or 2000 server.  It really is a good idea to use it if you can do it.
In Windows NT, it is part of IIS.  In Windows 2000, you can install IAS.

Tom

I did not apply the settings yet.

Just to understand better, I need apply the following: (REM is what i will omit)

where 192.168.1.0/24 = inside net
REM where 192.168.1.254 = RADIUS server

NOTE: aaa code IS case-sensitive

access-list 100 permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
access-list 100 permit ip 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

ip local pool aaapool 10.10.10.1-10.10.10.254

nat (inside) 0 access-list 100

REM aaa-server RADIUS protocol radius
REM aaa-server RADIUS (inside) host 192.168.1.254 <shared key> timeout 5

vpngroup vpn password <password>

Is this correct? Also, will the clients need to use the VPN client or can they use the VPN set in Windows XP?
Thanks.

Just to be clear.  These aren't part of the code, just explanations:

where 192.168.1.0/24 = inside net
REM where 192.168.1.254 = RADIUS server
NOTE: aaa code IS case-sensitive

And, this line is already in the PIX by default so you can leave it alone:

REM aaa-server RADIUS protocol radius


The rest looks good to me.  With this code, the clients will need the Cisco VPN client.

Would you like me to post the PPTP code for use with the Windows XP client?

Tom

Here's the PPTP code, just in case:

access-list 100 permit ip 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
access-list 100 permit ip 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

ip local pool vpnpool 10.10.10.1-10.10.10.254

nat (inside) 0 access-list 100

sysopt connection permit-pptp

vpdn group 1 accept dialin pptp
vpdn group 1 ppp authentication chap
vpdn group 1 ppp authentication mschap
vpdn group 1 ppp encryption mppe 40
vpdn group 1 client configuration address local vpnpool
vpdn group 1 client configuration dns <dns1> <dns2>
vpdn group 1 client configuration wins <wins1> <wins2>
vpdn group 1 pptp echo 60
vpdn group 1 client authentication local
vpdn username <username> password <password>
vpdn enable outside

With this code, you can use the built-in Windows 2000/XP client.

Tom

Thanks Tom. I will try it and post back the results.

Cepolly

I am going for the PPTP configuration.
I have tried the config and everything worked well until i needed to enable vpdn on the outside interface.

I received the following error: 'Can not enable vpdn on the same interface as PPPoE.'

Can this not work with PPPoE?

This is the new config.

Never tried it with PPoE.  I'll see what I can find.  What are you using the PPoE for anyways?

Tom

I checked Cisco and discovered that PPPoE and pptp cannot work together on the same interface.

I am now trying this via the VPN Client ver 4.0.9 option.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Tom

Hi Tom,

I can now connect to the firewall via the VPN Client. However, I am not able to get to the local LAN or ping any device by name or by IP. I enabled the 'allow LAN access' option, but I still am unable to get in. I am now using VPN client version 3.6.

My goal is for users to be able to be on the business network from their remote locations. They need to be able to run Outlook and have Outlook resolve the Exchange server by name or IP.

I added the following line for WINS to help with name resolution internally:

vpngroup vpn3000 wins-server x.x.x.1

I changed the encryption to DES from 3DES. 3DES is not set up on the PIX. I attached the latest config.

What do I need to do to get Local access from a Winxp or win 2000 machine?

Thanks,
Cepolly

Post a 'sh ver' and a 'sh crypto ipsec sa' and a 'sh crypto isakmp sa'.  When the client is connected, double-click the lock tray icon and post the IP that the PIX gives you.

IP address received from VPN connection:

Client IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Server IP Address: x.x.214.194

I tried to look at the VPN status in the PDM and received the following error message:

"VPN connection status information is unavailable since "Easy VPN Remote" is disabled on this PIX. To enable "Easy VPN Remote" go to that screen under the VPN tab."

When I tried to use the PDM to take a look at the VPN config and recieved the following error message:

"PDM does not multiple dynamic crypto maps per interface. Please collapse them into one. Other you will not be able to manage Crypto map via PDM"

I'm not sure what this means.

Clarification:

"PDM does not support multiple dynamic crypto maps per interface. Please collapse them into one. Otherwise you will not be able to manage Crypto map via PDM"

I'll go through your config and get back to you in a bit.

You can't ping anything on the inside net when connected via the VPN client, right?

no I cannot. not by name or IP.

Could this be a split-tunnel issue?

Maybe.  I noticed that you are using access-list nat0 in your nat (inside) 0 but you are using acess-list 101 for your split-tunnel.  Remove the access-list 101 and remove the split tunnel and let me know what happens.

Tom

trying that now...

I removed both entries.
I can still connect. When I run Ipconfig /all, i get the following returned to me:

I still cannot ping by name or IP.

Woot!

That was it. When the lines were added back in, it worked.

I also did a clear crypto 1st.

Thanks Tom very much for all the time.

Best regards,
Carmine

Glad to help.
