If the packet is on port 8500, then the ethernet, IP, and UDP parts are decoded but not the isakmp part. Is that because of the port number or is it because the packet is not really properly formatted? I can't find a user config option that is set to 500.

Excellent. That was the hint I needed. (I'm somewhat novice at wireshark)
