Having Trouble with Cisco Pix 501 VPN

you may need to post the configs from both devices for verification, but here are the items that need to be checked


1) traffic expecting to go thru vpn tunnel needs to be added to nat 0 statement (nat exemption)
2) acl used to identify "interesting" traffic that will go thru the vpn (used in vpn config) needs to be mirror images of one another when looking at each device
3) isakmp (phase 1) settings need to be the same.  only difference is the connection peer specfied of course
4) ipsec (phase 2) settings need to be the same.

if after checking that, run
debug crypto isakmp  
debug crypto ipsec

verifying some stuff
show crypto isakmp sa
show crypto ipsec sa
show crypto engine connection active

those should help show where along the negotiation process the vpn tunnel is failing.  post the results by attaching a text file if it comes to running the debug process. and another text file with the output of the show commands.

I just looked at the sites 501 Pix PDM

it says its ignoring the following commands


fixup protocol dns maximum-length 512
fixup Protocol tftp 69
timeout -sip-disconnect 0:02:00 sip-invite 0:03:00
aaa-server TACAS+ max-failed-attempts 3
aaa-server TACAS+ deadtime 10
aaa-server RADIUS max-failed-attempts 3
aaa-server RADIUS deadtime 10

ill add the show run in a bit going to the site right now.

Building configuration...
