VPN between BCM50e's passes no traffic

[visionscomm]

BIG problem..Can't ping, can't get element manager or anything to even get in remotely...Lis is provided by Roadrunner Bus Class through a fixed IP addresses. Ruled out the ISP as the problem by connectin a Linksys VPN/switch endpoint which supports IPSEC. Replaced BCM and still cannot pass traffic on system. Reviewed all settings and only one incomplete of the two bcm 50's

How are the firewalls configured on the internal router in the BCM 50?

The firewall protects against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks when it is enabled.
Enable Firewall Total Configured Rules: 1
Bypass Triangle Route Vacant Rules: 9

Packet Direction: LAN to LAN / Contivity 221LAN to WANWAN to LANWAN to WAN / Contivity 221
Configured rules for this packet direction are displayed in the summary table below.
Action for packets that don't match firewall rules. Block Forward

For giggles, turn the firewall off and see if you can get through. If so, then turn it back on and build your rules to allow traffic between subnets.

The Contivity 221's are strange creatures sometimes.

 

[visionscomm]

Never ever messed with the firewall..Can you tell me how to do it?

 

[biv343]

Click the little check box next to "enable firewall".

 

[visionscomm]

Yes that would make sense..But it is already blank. I am running out of normal ideas

 

[biv343]

Try setting the default action for LAN/WAN, WAN/LAN, etc from "block" to "forward".

 

[visionscomm]

Yes..That is already set up as well..
