Hello,

I'm trying to get the cisco vpn client to work to an external client from within our internal network. I've open our firewall udp ports 500 4500 & 10000 in/out bound with no success. What do I need to do to the cisco router to allow the client to connect?

Sorry if this is a little light in technical details, if you need any more detail, please let me know.

regards

Mike

Assuming you are connecting from inside to an outside/internet host you might try the Cisco VPN tunneling options. We have to 'adjust' them for some sites.
Also assure protocol 50/IPSEC is open.
 
How would I open 50/IPSEC?

Mike,

Here is what I send or out Firewall support folks and/or outside agencies.

------------------------
DEVICE CONFIGURATION:

Sites/networks/security models would configured their devices to allow VPN traffic (ESP Protocol 50 and UDP Port 500) that originated within their network to pass outside of their enclave

Port(s) used to connect (TCP/UDP): UDP 500 and ESP (Protocol 50) and
TCP 10000 IPSec protocol
-----------------------

Our Network Operations Center manages all security related device I am not allowed to toudch them so can not advise you on how to assure IPSec protocols are open. Maybe someone how knows can assist here??
