RE: [FW1] IP pools



I have a strong hunch:

After enabling IP Pool NAT, you must ARP the addresses used in your IP pool
to your internal interface.  For example, I'm running FW1 on NT, so I have
about 25 entries in my local.arp file - a few for inbound static NATs, and
the rest for the addresses used in my IP NAT pool, using the MAC address of
the internal interface of the firewall.

I bet that'll do the trick.  If not, post again.  Good luck!

Using Ip pool for Secure Remote connection also confused me here

I am using 10.x.x.x for my internal network
Every times I turn on IP pool NAT, my Secure Remote connection does not
work, if I turn it off, it work

Can anybody explain why?

I can't really point you to any docs, other than the 4.1 VPN manuals,
but basically, there are several reasons for using that feature.  Most
of the reasons deal with routing.  For example, lets say your company
has multiple Internet connections, in multiple locations, with a shared
internal WAN between the locations.  If a VPN user came into the network
via location1's firewall, and you did NOT do an internal NAT pool, when
they tried to access resources in location 2's network, the return
packets would go out through location 2's firewall.  Since that firewall
wouldn't have known about the traffic, it would then be dropped, and
hence the VPN would not fully work.  Whew...Did that make any sense?  If
not, let me know and I'll clarify, but the basic idea is that you assign
your VPN users a 10-dot (or whatever) tunnel address so that your route
back can take a specific route and NOT a default route....  Hope this
helps.
