Remote Access VPN user cannot access LAN (Cisco VPN client connecting to Pix 501)
I'm trying to allow remote access VPN access to our LAN, using a Pix501 and Cisco VPN Client 4.8.
The LAN has 172.16.27.0/24 and the router is on 172.16.27.254.
I'm struggling with specifying an appropriate pool for local addresses to be used by remote VPN clients. I tried 172.16.27.129-134 but somehow remote clients are then unable to connect to anything on the LAN. The log tells me that the connection is being accepted, but the traffic back to the remote client does not seem to get there, even though 172.16.27.0/24 -> 172.16.27.128/29 is exempt from NAT.
I was wondering that because this exemption is for within the subnet, it may not work, and I also read somewhere that you should not allocate IP addresses to remote clients that are also on your LAN, i.e. that you have to use a different subnet.
That's why I created a second remote access VPN, this time allocating 172.17.1.0/28 to remote clients, but that doesn't work either. A remote client cannot see anything on the 172.16.27.x network.
I've tried enabling and disabling split tunnelling, I've tried enabling and disabling Allow Local LAN Access in the VPN client, but I'm stuck.
How does the Pix know to route 172.17.1.x traffic to 172.16.27.x ? Do I need to add a route somewhere?

It works!! Thanks so much!
And fortunately the PIX didn't reload after isakmp nat-traversal.
This may be pushing it, but can you explain in broad terms what was wrong? I used PDM's VPN wizard with pretty much standard settings, and as far as I can tell there were no overlapping IP pools and the pools were correctly assigned to the vpn group? Was it that emea-it-remote and emea-it-pub were using the same subnet but defined as different pools? (Strange you can't define subnet masks for these IP pools)

Great! Glad to hear it didn't suddenly reboot on you!
>...can you explain in broad terms what was wrong?
One of the biggest things was using "permit ip any" in your crypto ACL(s), ie:
access-list outside_cryptomap_dyn_100 permit ip any 172.17.1.0 255.255.255.224
Other things to keep in mind: when using split-tunneling, use a separate ACL for specifying "split-tunnel <ACL>" in vpngroups, and this ACL must be a "duplicate" of your 'nat 0' ACL if only one line (or an entry thereof if multiple lines long in the 'nat 0' ACL). And "isakmp nat-traversal" is a must, as mentioned previously.
>(Strange you can't define subnet masks for these IP pools)
Actually the PIX will let you specify a mask, eg:
ip local pool mypool_A 10.2.2.1-10.2.2.10 mask 255.255.255.240
BUT, make absolutely sure your crypto ACLs ('nat 0' & split-tunnel ACLs) use the same subnet mask so the traffic is matched correctly.
Notice that one of the previous pools' IP range didn't match up with the subnet masks you were using:
ip local pool emea-it-pub 172.17.1.11-172.17.1.20 --> in your 'nat 0' ACL you used the mask 255.255.255.240 which does *not* include these IPs, but your "outside_cryptomap_dyn_100
With subnet mask 255.255.255.240, the valid range of usable IPs for the subnet which includes 172.17.1.11 is:
172.17.1.1 - 172.17.1.14. The next subnet's IP range is: 172.17.1.17-.30 (.16 is the subnet address, .31 is broadcast).
Notice I used 172.17.1.1-30 with a 255.255.255.0 mask: that's fine, since all these IPs fall within the correct range (.1-.254).
cheers
