PPTP VPN and PPPOE CLIENT ON PIX 501

Hi,

Can I create a PPTP VPN and a client connection on a PIX 501 with a PPPOE client connection to my ISP. The PPPOE ip is dynamic and the VPN will have a static IP. They gave me a username and password for the VPN and PPPOE. The also gave me a ip for the VPN server.

What needs to happen is that the PPPOE must connect for the VPN to work.

I can only get the PPPOE up, but dont know how to do this with a PPTP VPN together.

Here is my config:

PIX Version 6.3(3)
interface ethernet0 auto
interface ethernet1 100full
nameif ethernet0 outside security0
nameif ethernet1 inside security100
enable password xxxxxxxx encrypted
passwd xxxxxxx encrypted

PIX firewall can not act as a PPTP client, only PC/laptop can act as a PPTP client.

I don't quite understand what you mean by VPN will have static IP? Are you trying to connect to your ISP via PPTP? or you would like to connect to your PIX remotely via PPTP? PIX firewall can be configured as PPTP server, but not as PPTP client.

Hi,

Cool, this answerd my question. Now I know that a PIX can only be a PPTP server.

See for me to use the static IP, that I will get from the PPTP connection to the ISP I have to create it on my Server. I will allow port 1723 to passthrought the PIX then to the server.

Thank you for the info.

OK, that makes sense. But I don't know how the ISP will assign static ip address for your PPTP server, how would the routing work? How would they route the static IP address, and how would you connect that to the ISP?

In any case, if you are going to passthrough PPTP traffic via the PIX, you would need to configure the following:

1) Static port address redirection for TCP/1723

2) "fixup protocol pptp 1723" to allow the PIX to automatically create GRE tunnel after the PPTP control connection.

3) ACL on the outside interface to allow TCP/1723 through.

Please check out the command reference for "fixup protocol pptp 1723":

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

I am going to cancel with the ISP and move to someone els. They have sold the wrong solution, will not catch me out again.

Thank you for the help.
