More info from the vendor:

"Hi Greg,

We are not fully compliant with RFC 3947 but we have remote APs working
in networks which have Aruba switch behind firewall & NAT. In such a
network topology only port 4500 needs to be open. As in my earlier email
I am suspecting that ESP packets are not hitting the switch."


I did ask if these APs are located on the Internet side of the firewall.
We, too, can get these APs working internally on different networks
passing through the firewall.

Hi Gregory,

That's pretty strange, since if you check the NAT-T specs, UDP port 4500
is used in the RFC complant NAT-T.

Try publishing the VPN server in the same way you would publish an
L2TP/IPSec VPN server except leave the the L2TP publishing rules.

HTH,
