Cisco VPN Client not working. Strange VPN Adapter behavior.

Jan 03, 2008 2 Replies

I am working with an ASA running 8.x and a Cisco VPN client running



4.6.03.0021. The client connects fine (passes phase 1 and phase2 and traffic flows downstream of the ASA which I have sniffed. It appears as though the traffic it not returned to the client as all sessions timeout.

I have other clients using this same profile without issue. It appears that the clients having the problem all have the following in common:


Physical NIC IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :


Cisco Systems VPN Adapter IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.1.25 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.240 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.1.25


You will notice that the Cisco VPN Adapter is given an IP Address and Mask from the ASA via a configured address pool, but you will notice that virtual adapter is using the same IP address for its interface and gateway.


I have other Cisco VPN client running version 3.6.x and 5.x that do not have this issue. I ruled out the common issues NAT-T, MTU, etc.


I was hoping some one could confirm or deny whether this IP addressing issue may be the culprit and whether this is a known issue for this version of the client. My search of Cisco Bugtraq show no.

just out of curiosity - how can there be an outbound connection on the virtual interface, if there is no gateway on the physical interface?

Check and make sure deterministic network enhancer is checked.
