Hello,

Since past 3-4 days, I have been trying different options to resolve an
issue with a remote site VPN tunnel. I have the tunnel up and working.
I have tried using IPSEC with low,medium and strict security profile.
Since I am using Shiva VPN devices, I have tried using their Shiva
Smart Tunnels too. They all work fine. I can perform all the normal
operations like file copy, establish VNC sessions and browse interent
too. The only problem is with the telnet session from that remote site
to another site which goes through my comapny LAN. The telnet session
works fine from the internal company LAN, but it doesnt work from that
remote site. It starts of well allowing the users to log in, but once
they log in, it freezes up. I am assuming that its the VPN connection,
possibly the encryption or the encapsulation that is causing this
problem. Somewhere in between the tunnel, the data is getting
corrupted. I could be wrong. I need some advice here, as that telnet
application is very crucial for that site to run.

Here are the security profiles that I have tried:

secure-profile IPSEC-Default
        encapsulation v2-esp
        authentication key
        secondary-authentication none
        ike-group 7
        ike-algorithm 3des
        ike-authentication hmac-md5
        ike-crypto-period 2880
        ike-kbyte-limit 0
        aggressive-mode off
        perfect-forward-secrecy off
        ipsec-commitbit disable
        negotiate-higher-security off
        preserve-tos on
        esp-authentication hmac-md5
        ah none
        algorithm aes-128
        tunnel-esp-mode on
        crypto-period 720
        kbyte-limit 100000
        timeout 65
        keep-alive 15
        client-timeout 65
        client-keep-alive 15
        udp-encapsulation 0
        split-tunnel disable

secure-profile S2S-TUNNEL
        encapsulation sst
        authentication key
        preserve-tos on
        public-key-length 512
        algorithm des
        crypto-period 720
        timeout 180
        keep-alive 60
        client-timeout 180
        client-keep-alive 60
        compression on
        protocol 17
        packet-key enable
        split-tunnel disable


thanks
Ankit
