Cisco 871 ? (VPN Site to Site Using SDM) 2

[ryancfields]

Hey I was wondering if anyone has set up Cisco 871's using site to site VPN. I am having a really hard time using the SDM utility. I set the interfaces up and have been trying forever to get it to work. The tunnel never goes up.

Post up the configs for review.

My experience with the SDM is that it is a good tool for monitoring and it can be helpful for creating ACL's but otherwise you should rely on the CLI to do the complicated stuff like VPN's. Here is a quick example
crypto ipsec transform-set VPN1 esp-3des esp-sha-hmac
crypto isakmp key SOMEPASSWORD address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
crypto map VPN1 1 ipsec-isakmp
set peer IPADDRESSOFPEER
set transform-set VPN1
match address 199


access-list 199 permit ip x.x.x.x 0.0.0.255 y.y.y.y 0.0.0.255


interface FastEthernet0/0
crypto map VPN1

Actually I got it taken care of I worked on it and found that I needed the services to be available to people also outside the company so I had to have port forwarding.

Thanks for you help!
