NAT+VPN Issue posted 12/07/2002
[Chronological Index] [Thread Index] [Top] [Date Prev][Date Next] [Thread Prev][Thread Next]


I have the following scenario:

Host1-Firewall1-VPNRouter1-(IPSEC TUNNEL)-VPNRouter2-Firewall2-Host2

Firewall1 is a non IOS non PIX
VPNRouter1 is IOS
VPNRouter2 is IOS
Firewall2 is PIX


Firewall1 is NAT'ing 1-1 the address of Host1.
VPNRouter1 is NAt'ing both Host1 and Host2 because both networks are
overlapping.
Firewall2 is not performing NAT and has a rule permitting FTP traffic from
Host1 to Host2.

When Host1 tries to open an FTP session to Host2 (its NAT'ed address) the
tunnels creates and the Firewall2 allows the connection. But the FTP does
not opens. The only message I see is the following:

302001: Built inbound TCP connection 103 for faddr 10.96.111.65/5840 gaddr
10.96
.108.65/21 laddr 10.96.108.65/21

302002: Teardown TCP connection 103 faddr 10.96.111.65/5840 gaddr
10.96.108.65/2
1 laddr 10.96.108.65/21 duration 0:00:00 bytes 0 (TCP Reset-O)

What is wierd is that if I try any connection that is succesfull I get the
same message but instead of a (TCP Reset-O) I get a (TCP FINs) message.

If someone has seen this message before. I would really appreciate it. I'm
thinking that probablt the doble NAT in both Firewall1 and VPNRouter1 may
have something to do with the problem. BTW I did a no fixup protocol ftp 21,
just in case but it doesn't work.

Thanks
