ASA 5505 VPN One Way Traffic

[Stewart Beam]

I am currently having an issue with two ASA 5505s.  One would be representing a Central office for a small business operating a L2L IPsec VPN using a dynamic map for a remote site that does not have a static IP address.

I stripped the configuration down to the minimal possible for testing to get this working but ran into an issue where although I have my ISAKMP SA and my IPsec SA the tunnel is only passing traffic from my remote site with the dynamic address to the Central site with a static IP address.  The Central site with the static IP address will not pass traffic to the remote site.

During my troubleshooting I came across two different issues.  I could at some points get traffic coming from the Central site to hit my ACL as interesting traffic to the remote site, but it would then not hit the ACL for no NAT.  I just could not figure out why the no NAT ACL wasn't working.  My configuration matched a few configurations I found online, but no joy on getting it to actually bypass NAT to the remote site. 

I have had the same type of set-up working on ISRs with no issue, but I do not have the same amount of experience with ASAs so any help would be appriciated.  The Configurations I am using for the basic testing are below with the Hub being the Static IP site and the Spoke being a dynamic IP address site.

Well I had pretty much given up on this, but today had a few extra minutes so I grabbed some ASAs that I had wiped for a different project, copied my configs back on them and actually ended up with a functional VPN passing traffic in both directions.  The only change that was made from the above configurations was with NAT traversal. 

On the Configurations above the NAT traversal was configured only on the HUB ASA.  When I got the configuration to work correctly it was with the NAT traversal configured only on the Spoke/Remote ASA.  Does anyone know why that made the difference? 

The final configs for both of the devices I used for testing are below.
