The answer is "isakmp enable outside" are you are set for isakmp udp
500/500 and udp 4500.

The answer is generally yes but it is based on how the question is
worded.
   
  If they say that no NAT-T is allowed then you need to allow isakmp and
esp and
  on the router you need to specify "no crypto ipsec nat-traversal
udp-encapsulation" so
  that the router will communicate with each other via esp and not
nat-t.
   
  Even if the FW is not doing NAT, routers, by default, will use isakmp
and nat-t when
  doing IPSec with another router. You can test and see it for
yourself. The only way
  for it to use esp, to my knowledge, is to use spcify "no crypto ipsec
nat-traversal
  udp-encapsulation" on the router. That's how undertstand it with IOS
version 12.2T.

  UDP 500 is for isakmp
UDP 4500 is for NAT-T or NAT transparency.

If your device behind the FW that is terminating the tunnels needs to
support NAT-T then yes you do need to permit it, but its not part of
ISAKMP, but rather part of the actual data transfer (ESP)

Now, if your not doing NAT on the FW then you need to permit UDP 500 for
isakmp and also ESP for the data transfer.
