Hello,



I am having trouble with the VPN Wizard on the Pix 501. I am attempting to setup a (what I beleive to be) simple connection between two Pix 501 devices via VPN. The scenario looks like this:


192.168.1.X-->Pix 501 w/Static IP from ISP-->Pix 501 w/Static IP from ISP-->192.168.2.X

The above scenario seems simple enough, but can't seem to get the VPN wizard to setup the link correctly. I am about to do it the manual way (via many command lines) unless someone can give me some insight into what exactly it means when the VPN wizard talks about "Traffic to be protected"? Thanks.

"Traffic to be protected" is the traffic that will be sent through the VPN tunnel.

: 192.168.1.X-->Pix 501 w/Static IP from ISP-->Pix 501 w/Static IP from : ISP-->192.168.2.X

In the case of the first PIX, it would be source 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.0 destination 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0

in the case of the second PIX, reverse the source and destination.

You will also need to ensure that address translation is turned off for that traffic. I seem to recall there's a radio button in the VPN Wizard to take care of that, but I don't use the VPN Wizard much so I don't recall the exact mechanism.
