Is it necessary to add explicit rules to allow inbound ISAKMP (UDP 500) and ESP (IP protocol 50) on the WAN interface?

I had a problem with pfsense 2.0.1 failing to accept sessions initiated by a Cisco ASA5505. tcpdump showed the ASA was sending ISAKMP phase 1 and pfsense was not replying. I added a rule to allow UDP 500 in and after that it worked.

Is the same required for ESP?

Does pfsense 2.1 also require this? I have a new site with pfsense 2.1 which hasn't shown this problem (yet), but that could just be through luck.

Thanks,

Brian.
