LT2P on PIX Version 7

paulhughes5
Level 1
Level 1

Hello

I am trying to set up an L2TP VPN server on my PIX to replace a PPTP server running on a router.

I've followed a few guides (although most seem to be for 6.3.x) and used what limited knowledge I have of VPN config on a PIX but I"m still coming up agains some issues.

I have the debug details which I'm hoping someone can use to point me in the right direction.

Hi Paul

I do recomend you to use the dynamic maps the way I was suggesting as this is the right way to configure them on the ASA.

By default Microsoft Windows does not support L2TP connections to servers behind NAT, this is a
Microsoft limitation, not a limitation of the ASA  or any Cisco device. On the following links you can find more information on how to modify the Windows registry for it to connect to a server behind NAT, because changing the registry is dangerous for the computer this has to be done at your own risk:

Hi Paul,

In case of L2TP over IPSEC , you will not be able to connect to a specific tunnel-group. The connection will automatically fall on DefaultRAGroup.

So make sure that under  DefaultRAGroup,  vpn tunnel protocol,l2tp-ipsec is enabled. Also please find the link below  for reference:-

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_configuration_example09186a00807213a7.shtml#pix

I hope it helps.

Thanks,

Shilpa

Just to clarify, I'm not able to put any custom names in, both the tunnel-group and the group-policy need to be defaultRAGroup?

Is the rest of the config in the custom groups ok if I just move it to the default ones?

This is the revised config.  I havent removed the old group yet.  I have noticed I cant get tunnel-group DefaultRAGroup type ipsec-ra into the config as it says its not a valid command (yet its in the config for the other group)

In the log now I get

Jul 01 2011 06:09:27: %PIX-4-713903: Group = DefaultRAGroup, IP = , Freeing previously allocated memory for authorization-dn-attributes

Jul 01 2011 06:09:27: %PIX-5-713119: Group = DefaultRAGroup, IP = , PHASE 1 COMPLETED

Debug seems to have this line in:

[IKEv1]: Group = DefaultRAGroup, IP = 84.93.217.110, peer is not authenticated by xauth - drop connection.

I've tried to follow

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6120/products_tech_note09186a00807e0aca.shtml#solution21

but I'm not sure its the right thing as its made no difference.

Found another forum post from an ASA that said enable nat traversal which I've done and it seems to get a bit further.

I can see in the debug phase 2 completes but then I get:

[IKEv1]: Group = DefaultRAGroup, IP = 84.93.217.110, Connection terminated for peer .  Reason: Peer Terminate  Remote Proxy 84.93.217.110, Local Proxy 10.0.21.254

Jul 01 10:55:34 [IKEv1 DEBUG]: Group = DefaultRAGroup, IP = 84.93.217.110, Active unit receives a delete event for remote peer PN-Mac.

Jul 01 10:55:34 [IKEv1 DEBUG]: Group = DefaultRAGroup, IP = 84.93.217.110, IKE Deleting SA: Remote Proxy 84.93.217.110, Local Proxy 10.0.21.254

Any ideas?

Hi Paul,

Depending on the client you are using it could be failing because the hash is MD5, you should try to use SHA.

Also the way you have configure you dynamic maps will brake the normal VPN client connection if you using one; you should try to change your dynamic maps to look like this:

crypto dynamic-map outside-dyn-map 10 set transform-set TRANS_ESP_3DES_SHA TUN_ESP_3DES_SHA

Using the two transform sets in the same line will ensure that both types of clients could work on the PIX.

Luis Ramirez

I was trying with a Macbook previously and now with a Windows 7 laptop.

I seem to get a different error with the windows one and it doesn't get past phase 1 this time.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the configuration; I can see you did not apply the changes I suggested but I can also see that your PIX is behind a Nat device as it has a privated IP address on the outside. due to a Microsoft limitation the L2TP connection will not work.

There is a bug for this issue you can find more information on this link:

http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCse50772

Hi.

Sorry I did apply the changes you suggested but it didn't make any difference so I reverted back just to be sure that wasn't the cause of the different message I was seeing on Windows vs Mac.

The bug says fixed in 7.2(2) and I'm running 7.2(4), should this not be sorted in that release or is it not something easily fixed?

Id like to hope there is a version where it functions as removing the NAT isn't something I'm going to be able to do unless I can get additional IPs from the ISP (which I doubt).

Hi Paul

I do recomend you to use the dynamic maps the way I was suggesting as this is the right way to configure them on the ASA.

By default Microsoft Windows does not support L2TP connections to servers behind NAT, this is a
Microsoft limitation, not a limitation of the ASA  or any Cisco device. On the following links you can find more information on how to modify the Windows registry for it to connect to a server behind NAT, because changing the registry is dangerous for the computer this has to be done at your own risk:

Ah right.  Good old MS.

Thanks for your help.  I'll have to come up with another solution, even if the reg edit works its a bit of a pain to do it on every PC I need to VPN in from.
