Cisco Routers :: RV180 Windows Firewall Settings For Gateway
Sep 30, 2012
I have 2 RV180's connected via Gateway to Gateway. It works fine when I have the Windows Firewall turned off on both PC's. Obviously this means that I need to have an exception rule in the Windows Firewall in order to use the Windows Firewall. What exception (inbound/outbound) rules that I need to set in order to use the Gateway to Gateway?
I have an RV180W router and I am trying to use the Windows 2011 SBS. It seems like I setup everything properly in order to use the remote access, but when I try to log on from home, I don't have any luck. According to Window's instructions, here's what I have setup on the router side:, I turned on UPnP. (they say to either do port forwarding, or UPnP, but I found on the Windows SBS that I had to do both in order for it to say it was working).
I just purchased and installed the RV180 at my office. One of my clients requires that I use Cisco VPN Client to connect to their systems. Before I installed the RV180, everything worked just fine. After I installed the RV180, the VPN client disconnects after 5 to 15 minutes, every time.
What firewall settings on the RV180 do I need to enable/disable so that the VPN Client can work w/o disconnecting?
The RV180 is the router at my office. The VPN Client is on my computer, and I'm connecting to a client's system w/the VPN Client.
I have two servers behind the RV180 and a list of ports I would like to open to the public (80, 443, 21, 3389).In that case, I have to setup 8 Access Rules. I am OK in the first time setting up.But later on, if I would like to change the external IP <-> internal IP mapping, I have to change the Access Rules one by one for all related ports.
Does it has a setting for grouping the ports together so that I can set the Access Rules by one time only ?BTW, the summary view of the Access Rules in RV180 is not very clear, I can't differentiate the Rules for different Destination NATs ... I have to click into the details one by one ...
I picked up this RV180 router because it has one of the fastest thru speeds of all the routers tested that I viewed on smallnetbuilder. That and it has the cisco name. I grew tired of purchasing wireless home routers every year after they fail. So far the thing is nice with one exception.
I have one device that is essential on my network called an airave. It is a small device similar to a wireless access point that works on springs voice network. The thing essentially makes a small cell tower inside your house and connects to the sprint network through an Ipsec vpn. I have not ability to change ipsec settings on the device on my end. The device works fine connected to the cable modem or to the old slow dlink. When I first connect the thing it works fine for about 5-10 minutes on the cisco. Then the thing loses connection and I lose my cell phone service. Just to test any port conflicts I made this the the DMZ with no luck.
I have also tried a firmware upgrade. I have not messed with any of the firewall settings or port forwarding since DMZ should in theory fix that. I have assigned the thing a fixed IP address but that does not seem to make a difference. It did not on my old router and is mostly just for my sanity and to facilitate the DMZ.
I have a RV180 router and i am trying to use the Quick VPN Client version 1.4.2.1. It works fine on my Windows 7 pc, and worked successfully once on the windows XP sp3 pc. But now the XP pc will not work.
What looks strange is in the VPN Client Connection Status on the router I see the status is Online, however the XP pc will not ping anything on the network or connect to the RDP pc i want. The QuickVPN Client hangs on "Verifying Network".
I tried the suggestions i saw online:
Disabling Firewall Enabling Firewall Making user name shorter Allowing for PING on WAN (replies all come back fast) Reboot Router Upgraded firmware to 1.0.1.9
I did not adjust the MTU rate as i was not sure what to change it too. AV is AVG 2012.
I have a static IP block and need to route to various servers. I know I can use 1:1 NAT or Access Rules and have success with each. The problem is my mail server. When I use 1:1 NAT, the mail is sent from the correct IP - the address of my mail server - and there is no problem with reverse lookups. However, I cannot block any ports when I use 1:1 NAT. I have tried it every way I can think of and even some suggestions in the forums that did not work. No matter how I set access rules, all port stay open in 1:1 NAT.
If I delete the 1:1 NAT rule and use Access rules to open specific ports, the mail server sends out the mail from the WAN address. The reverse DNS does not match and mail server will bounce the mail.
I purchased a RV180 router, and would like set the Firewall Access Rules as below
- Action: Always Allow - Service: HTTP - Source IP: Any - Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): private ip (192.168.1.xx) - Use Other WAN IP Address: Enable - WAN Destination IP: one of public ip (different of the router WAN ip address) - Action: Always Allow - Service: FTP - Source IP: Any - Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): private ip (192.168.1.xx) - Use Other WAN IP Address: Enable - WAN Destination IP: one of public ip (different of the router WAN ip address)
The firewall access rules no problem within 1 hour after setting. I can access the http / ftp services by the WAN ip address. After several hours, I can't access the services.
I can set the one-to-one NAT rather than use the firewall access rules, but I would like block all other ports, and one-to-one NAT will forward all ports to the private ip address. Administrator > Logging > Firewall Logs , when I enable the settings, where can I get the log of the firewall?
How do I submit an RFE (Request For Enhancement) to the Cisco SBR team to encourage them to implement the missing support for VLAN to VLAN firewall rules that was available in the RVS4000 (See [URL]) and that was supposedly added to a beta release of the RV220W firmware (See [URL])?
I have an RV042 which is being used as an interface to an ISP.The WAN address (public) is obtained via PPPoE.The LAN address (also public) is entered manually from an assigned block of public addresses. This is the internet gateway for other publicly-addresses devices like firewalls, VPN devices, etc.
I have an RV042 to play with as will as one in production that I can access.Because the accesses are both through public addresses, I want to use https to access the device. I've generated a number of questions as I'm not sure the behavior is understandable to me and maybe the behavior isn't even consistent.
- If the firewall is Disabled, the https setting is still available. So, presumably https will work with the firewall enabled or disabled? Is that right?
- I take it that the Remote Management setting and port number are associated with the WAN port. For example, can one set Remote Management ON with port 443 and still access via the LAN on port 80? on port 443?
- If Remote Mangement is OFF then I presume that one cannot access the device through the WAN. Yet, that seems to not be the case. I wonder if the public addresses on this device affect this?
Well, I guess we might forget about the Port number and just ponder the following - Sort of a truth table:
Remote OFF http...........WAN access: NO LAN access: YES https..........WAN access: NO LAN access: YES Remote ON http...........WAN access: YES LAN access: YES https..........WAN access: YES LAN access: YES
This is what it would seem to me to be but it doesn't seem to work that way.
2) Allow all port 80 connections, and forward to 10.4.20.60
3) Allow all port 443 connections, and forward to 10.4.20.60
4) Allow port 22 connections from specific IP addresses, and forward to 10.4.20.60
5) After a remote client has connected using Client to Gateway VPN, allow that remote client to access anything on the LAN
I'm able to do #1-4 above, but I can't get #5 to work. Or I can get #5 to work, but can't implement the restrictions I need in #1-4. Attached are some relevant screenshots. I think the problem is that I have Forwarding rules set up that require me to have a firewall rule to Deny All Traffic from WAN1 (unless I'm specifically allowing it). In the Access Rules screenshot, rule #6 is the problem. If I enable it (thereby denying all WAN1 traffic), then VPN clinents can't access anything on the LAN. However if disable this rule, VPN clinents can access anything on the LAN, but the firewall also opens up all outside connections to SSH, since that's set up in the Forwarding rules. I would have thought that once a remote client is connected using client to gateway VPN, then that client is considered to be on the LAN, as far as the firewall is concerned. Thus a firewall rule (like #6) that is specified for WAN1 shouldn't effect remote VPN clients.
I've got two RV082's connected. Each has a dynamic IP (changes typically every few weeks). I've configured the tunnels on both ends with a local and remote "Remote/Local Security Gateway Type" of "Dynamic IP + Domain Name(FQDN) Authentication".If I look at the VPN Summary tunnel status, it shows an IP address of "mydomain.dyndns.org 0.0.0.0" under the "Remote Gateway" column heading. The Tunnel Test "Connect" button is N/A.I can resolve both of the mydomain.dyndns.org entries on both sides of each VPN using the Diagnostic DNS lookup tool within each router. If I hardwire a fixed IP address for the Local and Remote Gateway everything works just fine. VPN is good.
I just can't seem to get the "mydomain.dyndns.org" function to work. It appears the router can't resolve the dynamic IP from the domain names on each of the routers.
I replace our aging rv082 routers with wireless rv220w routers. The gateway to gateway vpn works great, however I am no longer able to manage our print servers port 80 management page. I can ping any host with success, and I can manage hosts that have a port 10000 or 8000 web interface - but no port 80 ones... I had no issues when using the old rv082 routers...
I picked up a pair of RV220W's and before I spent loads of time at a remote site, I figured I'd go through some VPN testing at home to make sure I could get it setup properly. What this means is I've plugged the Internet uplink into a switch, then from the switch into both routers & configured them (using unique static IP's for each) from there. For what its worth: While I have some IT experience, I don't have strong networking experience.
I setup several VLAN's on the local RV220W, and the end result is to make it so that an asset at the remote site with an IP in any of the ranges (192.168.121.0/24, 192.168.131.0/24, 192.168.141.0/24 and any future VLANs) can communicate with/access resouces at the local site. Likewise, an asset at the local site with an IP in any of the ranges (.121, .131, .141 + any future VLANs) should be able to reach the remote resources (currently just 192.168.181.0/24, but future VLANs as well).
This evening I tried to focus on the relevant VPN pages of the Administration Guide to get the VPN up. Leaving the defaults I got as far as establishing a link between both sites and it seems that things are working right: From the remote site (.181) I can access the local site (.121, .131, .141); and from the local site I can at least ping resources (a laptop) on the remote site. (Yay!)
However, when I physically connected an asset that had a 192.168.121.X, 192.168.131.X and 192.168.141.X IP addresses to the remote RV220W (which is 192.168.181.0/24), I couldn't see it from the remote or local sites.I assume this is expected. But I'm reaching out to the community to see what other possibilities might be available becuase networking is a weak area for me. I figured it might be something like a Static [or Dynamic] Route but I really am not 100% sure.

Can I have use a Gateway-to-Gateway IPSec tunnel whereby a user can surf the Internet using his local Internet connection and at the same time connect through the IPSec tunnel to a remote subnet using RVS4000 routers?
I have two Cisco RV042 Routers, they are being used to connect two offices, i have created a standard gateway to gateway connection, fixed public ip addresses on both sides and everything works fine, except when the tunnel gets disconnected, it does not connect back automatically, i have to log into either router console and click the connect button to get the tunnel working again, this is really annoying since it happens once or twice a day at least.
New hardware here, requesting a bit of your knowledge, We are tryingin to setup a simple gateway to gateway VPN
HomeA Has an RV016 with a public static IP Local Group Security Gateway type is IP Only with the IP Local Security Group Type is Subnet, with the local IP class 192.160.0.0 Remote Security Gateway Type: Dynamic + Email Email address some@emailaddress.com Remote Security Group Type: Subnet IP Address 192.168.1.0 IPSec Setup as default with nice password.
HomeB has an RV082 with a dynamic ADSL link Local Group Security Gateway type is DynamicIP +Email Email address some@emailaddress.com Local Security Group Type is Subnet, with the local IP class 192.160.1.0 Remote Security Gateway Type: IP Only Remote Security Group Type: Subnet IP Address 192.168.0.0 IPSec Setup as default with nice password.
The idea is for HomeB which has a dynamic IP, to reach HomeA, which has a static IP and connect. But they just wont. I have not clue what's wrong, I followed the instructions, maybe i miss interpreted something. I could share the VPN logs for both., Im getting a lot of errors there.
I have a pair of RV082 routers and I'd like to configure gateway to gateway VPN tunnel as described in a cookbook, "How to configure a VPN tunnel that routes all traffic to the Remote Gateway," (file name Small_business_router_tunnel_Branch_to_Main.doc). I followed this cookbook and found that my while the Main office has internet connectivity, the branch subnet doesn't have internet connectivity.
Routing does behave as advertised, where all traffic does go to the main office. However, the 192.168.1.0 subnet in the branch office does not get internet connectivity. I've read in other posts that the Main office router will only provide NAT for the local subnet, not the branch office subnet. Is there a way to configure the RV082 router to provide NAT for all subnets?
If not, which Cisco product will provide the VPN Tunnel connectivity as well as the NAT for all subnets? Can the RV082 be used as part of the final solution or are my RV082s a wasted expenditure?
Following is the configuration that I'd implemented, (real IP and IKE keys are bogus).
Gateway To Gateway Remote Main Office Add a New Tunnel Tunnel No. 1 2 Tunnel Name : n1-2122012_n2-1282012 n1-2122012_n2-1282012 Interface : WAN1 WAN1
I have two Cisco RV8082 Routers which I would like to setup a VPN Tunnel with Gateway to Gateway. One location is a static IP Address. The other location is a dynamic IP address.
I am trying to set up a gateway to gateway VPN connection between a RV042G (central site) and a RV110W (newest firmware) which is used for presentation purposes on various customer's sites. The RV042G has a static IP. The RV110W has different IPs, depending on where it is used.
Basic VPN settings are clear to me (we have another VPN between two RV042G with static IPs). I set up the VPN connection on the RV042G wth the following settings for "Remote Group Setup":
Remote Security Gateway Type : IP + Domain Name (FQDN) Authentication IP by DNS resolved: mydomain.no-ip.org Domain Name: router12345
The value "router12345" is what I have configured in the RV110W as "Host name" in the network settings.
This configuration does not work so I am obviously doing something wrong. Do I have to use "router12345.mydomain.local" instead if I configured "mydomain.local" as the domain name in the RV110Ws network settings? For my tests the RV110W has a WAN-IP of 192.168.178.100 because it is located behind a DSL-Router. The external IP of this DSL-router is 178.0.x.x. The resolved IP from mydomain.no-ip-org is 192.168.178.100 but when I look in the RV042G log I see the requests coming withg the external IP (178.0.x.x). Is this the problem? The last message I see in the log is "no connection has been authorized with policy=PSK".
Or can I use "IP + Email Address (USER FQDN) Authentication" instead (where can I enter this email address in the RV110W?). Or do I have to use "Dynamic IP"?
I exchanged a RV042 v1.2 (Firmware 1.3.13.02) by a new RV042G v3. (Firmware 4.2.1.02).
My problem is now the following: The old RV042 established the Gateway to gateway VPN connection as soon as an IP- address of the remote location was requested. The new RV042G stays on „Waiting for connection“ all the time and does nothing at all. The connection works by clicking „CONNECT“ or by ticking Keep-Alive in the advanced tunnel settings but NOT automatically as before. Is this a firmware issue or have I to configure something additional?
I have an RV180 VPN router.I try to enable the VPN users with PPTP or QuickVPN but is not working.For PPTP sometimes my windows 7 connects to the router, sometimes doesn't connect with a random error message.When it connects, the windows 7 from outside the lan can see the computers from inside the lan but the computers from inside the lan cannot see the windows7 one. This is random also. When i succed to connect, from that computer, the internet is not working anymore.I tried to set the VPN in the same subnet as lan, i tried with different subnet. Is not working.I updated the last firmware. The same.Restore factory settings couple of times, the same.
I noticed if you add more than 10 access rules to the Access Rule table, you are unable to reorder past the first 10.Steps to reproduce:Create 11 rules of the same stream direction, outbound or inbound (...I found the bug with outbound, did not test inbound).try to reorder one of the first 10 rules to the end of the list, either by entering "11" manually, or by pressing the down arrow.System responds that "11" is an invalid number, or that the rule cannot be moved.This issue is not reported in the "Known Issues" section of the release notes for 1.0.1.9.
Which vpn client to use on os x ? (the one included in os x or another?) Which VPN configuration to use on RV180 ? and Which ports to open on RV180 Firewall ? (or any other parameters)
In both cases above, after I started to suspect QOS, I entered a narrow IP range to test and then a MAC to test. Using a VLAN seems to work fine and generate no errors - even a VLAN for the same associated host(s).
I have a support case open about this - didn't get too far yet, but now with a better repro, maybe they will.
I currently have an RV180 in a small business set-up and curently being accessed remotely by laptops (Quick VPN) and Ipads/Android ICS tablets (PPTP). All is working well but I've become concerned about the security risks of PPTP and would like to shift the tablets to IPSec.
1) For a small business are the PPTP risks real?
2) What are the alternatives for Android ICS? I can't find a Quick VPN client for Android.
3) I can't get the core IPSec VPN in Android to connect to the RV180? Is this possible?
I have RV180 configured with two VLANs. First VLAN is untagged and second VLAN is tagged. The purpose is two have two subnets, with the second subnet used for guest access. Both VLANs have DHCP server enabled. First VLAN is 192.168.1.0/24 and the second VLAN is 192.168.2.0/24, When I connect a computer with untagged Ethernet interface, it gets an IP address from DHCP server on the first subnet i.e. 192.168.1.100 and it can successfully access Internet. When I connect a computer with tagged Ethernet interface (I am using VLAN ID 10), it gets an IP address from DHCP server on the second VLAN i.e. 192.168.2.100. So far so good. I can successfully ping hosts on the Internet i.e. ping www.google.com. But I cannot access Internet from the web browser. I captured Wireshark trace and here is what I see...
1. TCP SYN. Source IP 192.168.2.100, destination IP A.B.C.D. Ethernet frame has VLAN tag (VLAN ID 10) 2. TCP SYN ACK. Source IP A.B.C.D, destination IP 192.168.2.100. Ethernet frame has VLAN tag (VLAN ID 10) 3. TCP ACK. Source IP 192.168.2.100, destination IP A.B.C.D. Ethernet frame has VLAN tag (VLAN ID 10) 4. TCP Data. Source IP 192.168.2.100, destination IP A.B.C.D. Ethernet frame has VLAN tag (VLAN ID 10) 5. TCP Data. Source IP A.B.C.D, destination IP 192.168.2.100. Frame is untagged
The problem is at #5. Packet came back from the Web Server. RV180 properly NATed it to the local IP address. But it did not add VLAN tag.
I just recieved a new RV180 yesterday and it will not connect to my switch. Router was updated to the newest firmware, reset to factory settings. I did change the ip and ip range. Router works fine with one computer attached direct. As soon as I connect my sf300-24P to it, the WAN and LAN lights all light up and then go out. Only the WAN will light back up. I have no connectivity to the router. I plug the laptop to the router directly and no LAN lights come on and can not see the router with arp -a.
I'm considering upgrading a small business to the newly released RV180 or RV180W.Does the RV180 series support 6rd (IPv6 rapid deployment?).I see 6rd documented in the other small business routers (e.g. RV110), but I can't find it in the RV180 documentation.
