Access to the PIX over VPN

[ph0enix]

I have PIX506 & PIX515's configured as a VPN server but when I connect using the VPN client, I can't telnet or SSH into the PIX itself. Is there a way around this? I hate having to RDP into one of the systems on the LAN and telnet to the PIX from there.

Thanks!

Hi

Have you enabled telnet or SSH on your pix ?

Can you post the config related to telnet and SSH here ?

To allow you to access PIX when you're in VPN session, check 2 things:

1. Configure telnet,ssh,http (for https)

Example:

telnet xx.xx.xx.xx yy.yy.yy.yy inside

*xx.xx.xx.xx is your VPN IP Pool address/subnet assigned for VPN

2. Allow management access to PIX

To allow management access to an interface other than the one from which you entered the security appliance when using IPSec VPN, use the "management-access" command in global configuration mode.

firewall(config)# management-access inside

firewall(config)# show management-access

management-access inside
