Hi!



I have the following config:



Cisco 1721 Watchguard III 3500 Watchguard Firebox 1000 C 2611



10.0.0.240 PAT to Public Ip PAT to Public IP 192.168.1.216


In short, a simple VPN between two Cisco routers from network 10.0.0.0 to 192.168.1.0. Access lists, IPs and policies are all setup correctly. Ports UDP 500 and 4500 are forwarded on the two firewalls doing PAT.



The isakmp sa negotiation fails with the following debug:

Any ideas out there on what I need to change in the Firebox's to get them to pass the request for the negotiation to the cisco routers? As a side note, a VPN setup to a public IP succeeds if the vpn tunnel is brought up from behind the firewall device, but not if brought up from the public side.



Any and all ideas are appreciated!



Thanks,



Michael
