Hi,

I have a PIX 506e and i have setup a remote VPN client on the PIX. I
have setup up the group name, password and VPN IP Pool. I already have
VPN site to site over IPsec on IKE. When i try to connect using the VPN
Client i get a

32 11:47:36.634 09/18/06 Sev=Warning/3 IKE/0xA300004B

Received a NOTIFY message with an invalid protocol id (0)

What is the problem??


thanks

Can we see your config ? (Remove any sensitive info 1st obviously)

The VPN client connects fine to the PIX but there are no decrypted
packets and a lot of bypass.

The pool with a mask of .224 ends at .95 not .96 .
I would suggest that you use a netmask of 255.255.255.0,
and make sure that the first and last addresses implied by the
netmask are not listed in the pool.

In your first line, you permit out the full 192.168.2/24, but in
the two lines above you only allow yout 192.168.2.0 - 192.168.2.31 .
Is that really what you want? If you have made a deliberate decision
to confine "hosts that are allowed to contact those services"
to that address range, then take note that that address range includes
the PIX inside interface, which would you wouldn't normally want to
include if you are being particular about what goes out where.

If you have allocated a group of hosts starting from HOST_PC
and extending to HOST_PC + 63, and that's what you want to allow
to access those services, then I would suggest that it is better
form to hide the details of the permitted hosts inside an
object-group; that way later you they don't have to be contiguous.

That denies traffic to the VPN_pool . However, the sysopt you
use later allows the VPN to ignore the access lists.

With the information you gave, we cannot tell whether
HO_VPN_NET or VPN_RM encompasses VPN_POOL . If one of the two
does, notice the netmask inconsistancy compared to the pool
definition.

Don't try nat 0 against the outside interface: if it does anything
at all, it surely won't be whatever you intended. Instead just
rely upon the fact that nat (inside) 0 is automatically applied
"in reverse" for incoming traffic.

no global (outside) 3 policy...

Why is your fixed peer using ESP-DES-SHA but your dynamics
are using ESP-DES-MD5 ? PIX 6.3 does not support ESP-DES-SHA
by the way (if I recall correctly.) It's better to list several
transforms in the set, strongest first; then if somehow there
becomes a mismatch in support, they can fall back to another transform.

DES SHA is stronger than DES MD5, so it would be better if it
were a lower policy number.

Everything else implies that HO_VPN_NET is outside, but here you
have it on the inside.

??? You are allowing accidents of DHCP address allocation to
determine whether a particular host is allowed particular kinds
of inside or outside access (because of the various .224 you use
against inside addresses in places) ?

And if there are fixed hosts at HOST_PC then they overlap with
your dhcpd address pool, unless HOST_PC is in a completely
different IP range -- but if it is in a completely different
range then the situation can't work without an 'ip route' statement.
