Dear

we have a Symantec Firewall 200 setup behind a managed router. I am trying to connect my VPN client to the symantec appliance, no success. My ISP has opened ISAKMP port 500 TCP/UDP on their router and forwards it to WAN port of my VPN aplliance which is 10.0.0.140 (LAN 10.0.0.42).
Below you can find the log from my VPN client. Communication fails at all time.


Mar 26 15:46:13.703 PC320090 emapi[780]: 100 nsetup Trace: Session Notification enabled.

On the Symantec 200R -

Phase 1 Negotiation=Agressive
Encryption and Authentication Method=ESP 3DES MD5
SA Lifetime=720
Data Volume Limit=100000
Inactivity Timeout=0
Perfect Forward Secrecy=Enabled

On The 200R I have setup VPN dynamic key. Local security Gateway is left blank as described in manual. Remote security gateway is left blank as wel as described in manual.


On the Enterprise VPN Client (V7.0.0 (352-3DES) -

Create a custom IKE Policy with:
Integrety=MD5
Privacy=3DES
Diffie Hellman=Group 1
Expire=720 Minutes

Create a custom VPN Policy with:
Integrity=MD5
Privacy=3DES
Compression=None
Encapsulation=Tunnel
Data Integrity=ESP
Perfect Forward Secrecy=Checked
Diffie Hellman=Group 1
Volume Limit=100000 KB
Lifetime=720 Minutes
Inactivity=0

Define the Gateway with:
Symantec Enterprise Gateway=Unchecked
IKE Policy=Name of Custom Policy
Tunnel VPN Policy=Name of Custom Policy

Gateway ID is the WAN IP of our managed router.

Any help appreciated.

Regards

Horaces
 
Update:

Our ISp has opened ports 50 and 51 (IPSEC) on our router. Since this moment I retrieve some more logging on the Symantec VPN 200R

However, I still can not get the VPN client connect to the VPN 200R.

Any suggestions?
