VPN and routing between branches

Jul 21, 2005 2 Replies

Hi, I have established a VPN between two ZyWALL 5 routers in two different places. Both are connected to the DSL Internet connection with fixed IP address.



My configuration looks like this:



Branch A



- ZyWALL WAN IP- xxx.xxx.xxx.86



- Key Management - IKE



- Local IP Address - 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.253



- Remote IP Address - 192.168.10.1 - 192.168.10.253



- Encap. - Tunnel



- IPSec Algorithm - ESP DES SHA1



- Secure Gateway Address - xx.xx.xxx.146



- Authentication Method - Pre-Shared Key



- My IP Address - 0.0.0.0



Branch B



- ZyWALL WAN IP- xxx.xxx.xxx.86



- Key Management - IKE



- Local IP Address - 192.168.10.1 - 192.168.10.253



- Remote IP Address - 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.253



- Encap. - Tunnel



- IPSec Algorithm - ESP DES SHA1



- Secure Gateway Address - xx.xx.xxx.86



- Authentication Method - Pre-Shared Key



- My IP Address - 0.0.0.0



I can see that the tunnel between branches is established with success, but cannot reach (i.e. ping) hosts from A to B and opposite.



Why is that?



For any help thanks in advance With best regards Mike

Was it a typo, or do you really have .86 as the address of the Wan and gateway on Branch B? If the latter, then make the WAN IP .146 for starters.

When I setup a Zywall, I used the remote IP subnet, not range ie 192.168.10.0 and 255.255.255.0 I also used MD5 not SHA1.... hth

Hi, I manged tis problem and suceed! It was the matter of upgrading firmwares.

In fact I made a mistake in WAN IP in Branch B
