   Hi,   
      
   my question is about the "local lan access" using the Cisco VPN client.   
      
   When I establish the VPN, all the traffic is injected in the IPSec VPN.   
   Checking the VPN client status (Status / statistics) I see that:   
   - in "tunnel details", the local LAN is disabled (nothing changes if I   
   enable the "allow local LAN access" in the VPN client profile, as it is   
   overwritten by the VPN gateway administrator)   
   - in "route details", the whole traffic is secured (no local lan routes   
   and 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 in the secured routes)   
      
   However, I do need to access some resources locally and changing the   
   configuration of the VPN gateway (allow the local LAN and add local lan   
   routes) is unfortunately not an option :-((   
      
   Referring to the VPN client documentation, it states: "this feature   
   (local LAN access) works only on one NIC card, the same NIC card as the   
   tunnel". So I added a second NIC and configured the routing to the local   
   resources via this second NIC but no way: when the VPN is established   
   via the primary card still the access to local resources is prevented. I   
   see that the routing table is correct and - when I initiate the traffic   
   - only the arp entry appears showing that the local resource is being   
   contacted via the second card but no IP traffic is initiated on that   
   path ... :-(   
      
   Do you know a possible solution / workaround to access the local   
   resources in this scenario, by using a second NIC card or with whatever   
   else solution?   
      
   Thank you in advance!   
   Best regards.   
   Diego.
