Pix 501 VPN to Ravlin 3300

I'm not certain, but it looks likely. PIX's IPSec was originally a Ravlin add-in card, so I suspect they haven't deliberately dropped compatability. 3DES, ESP, SHA.

yeah, on paper it looks compatable. So I'll keep my hopes up. If I get it working I'll post my results.

Thanks for the reply,

Hi Bernie,

Cisco and Redcreek ( i.e. Ravlin ) had a "following-out" sometime ago.

I got it working! I used 3des-md5 with a preshared key. You MUST use the command line, PDM messes it all up. Took me a couple tries to find that out...

I used the vpn-sonicwall-pixfw.pdf file I found on cisco's site as a starting point. They have some commented sample configs that were very helpful... just ignore the sonicwall part of it and replace all of the aes-256 and sha stuff with 3des and md5.
