Re: [FW-1] Checkpoint VPN trouble



Jeff,

I have worked through this issue here.  Check that the remote end has
:IPsec_cluster_nat (true) in their objects.C defined for their gateway
object.


There is a phoneboy on it ... "How to setup a High Availability VPN"

FireWall-1 4.1 SP3 and later have a feature that will force FireWall-1 to only use the Gateway Cluster IP address when it originates packets.
This will be necessary when UDP Encapsulation is used or when talking to a third-party VPN endpoint. To enable this feature in 4.1 SP3 or SP4,
add the following  line to the :props ( section of objects.C (For guidelines on editing objects.C, see How do I Edit Objects.C?).

:IPSec_cluster_nat (true)

Also, this is the default behavior at I think SP5.   One thing that confused us for a long time was when we looked in the log it still showed our
internal RFC
address.  But once we ran snoops we saw that our internal RFC was getting NAT'd to our Gateway Cluster address.  The log was just misleading.

Good luck,
Donna

Subject:  [FW-1] Checkpoint VPN trouble


I am trying to establish a VPN with another company.  Checkpoint/Solaris on
our side, dual Checkpoint/AIX(?) in a cluster on their side.  Rules are
setup as I have for other working VPN's, and an attempt to connect through
the VPN causes key exchange packets to be sent from our side (I see with
tcpdump).

The return packets, however, have a source address of the internal
interface of the remote firewall, rather than the expected external
address.  Does anyone know why this occurs?  They claim to have licensed
the internal address on the remote side.

TIA,
