One <important> distinction - AH and ESP are not on 'ports' per se, but
protocols...

i.e. - to allow AH thorugh PIX you *would not* use
conduit permit tcp host w.x.y.z eq AH any                       <replacing
AH w/ 50 will also not work ... well, it will - but will allow

instead, the following would be TWID:
conduit permit ah any any   
        <same for esp, icmp <if allowing all ... >>


<see also http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~rakerman/port-table.html  ... "Note
that certain services such as IPSec and Microsoft's PPTP use non-TCP/UDP
protocols so they are not covered on this page. In particular, PPTP uses GRE
(protocol 47) and IPSec uses ESP (protocol 50) and AH (protocol 51).
Protocol numbers are not the same as port numbers. IANA maintains the
Assigned Internet Protocol Numbers. ">


Thanks!

Subject: IPsec port


I configured my PIX as the IPsec VPN terminator to support DES VPN client.
I have an inbound access-list  on my perimeter router.  Does any one know
the ports I need to open for IPsec VPN traffic on my perimeter router ?
