Hi! I don't know why this comes up in the logs when I have configured my vpn like so:

crypto dynamic-map L2L_MAP 50 set reverse-route

crypto dynamic-map OUTSIDE_dyn_map 20 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

crypto dynamic-map OUTSIDE_dyn_map 40 set pfs

crypto dynamic-map OUTSIDE_dyn_map 40 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

crypto dynamic-map OUTSIDE_dyn_map 60 set pfs

crypto dynamic-map OUTSIDE_dyn_map 60 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

crypto dynamic-map OUTSIDE_dyn_map 65535 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

crypto dynamic-map OUTSIDE_dyn_map 65535 set security-association lifetime seconds 288000

crypto dynamic-map OUTSIDE_dyn_map 65535 set security-association lifetime kilobytes 4608000

crypto dynamic-map INSIDE_dyn_map 20 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

crypto map L2L_MAP 20 match address IDP_VPN

crypto map L2L_MAP 20 set peer x.x.x.x

crypto map L2L_MAP 20 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

crypto map L2L_MAP 60 set peer x.x.x.x

crypto map L2L_MAP 60 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

crypto map L2L_MAP 80 match address outside_80_cryptomap

crypto map L2L_MAP 80 set peer x.x.x.x

crypto map L2L_MAP 80 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA

crypto map L2L_MAP 65535 ipsec-isakmp dynamic OUTSIDE_dyn_map

crypto map L2L_MAP interface outside

crypto map INSIDE_map 65535 ipsec-isakmp dynamic INSIDE_dyn_map

crypto map INSIDE_map interface inside

I am able to connect successfully via vpn client.  Its just that i cant reach the internal servers...  Any ideas?

i get this error:

Oct 18 2012 00:52:37: %ASA-5-305013: Asymmetric NAT rules matched for forward and reverse flows; Connection for udp src outside:10.10.13.221/137 dst inside:10.10.13.255/137 denied

What is your VPN pool subnet? Pls configure a unique subnet which is not the same subnet as your inside network.

Also have you configure NAT exemption for those traffic?

I now changed it to

ip local pool inshse-vpn-pool2 192.168.6.220-192.168.6.230 mask 255.255.255.0

but i get same looking errors

Oct 18 2012 01:16:20: %ASA-5-305013: Asymmetric NAT rules matched for forward and reverse flows; Connection for udp src outside:192.168.6.220/51119 dst inside:10.10.10.52/53 denied due to NAT reverse path failure

Have you configured NAT exemption for traffic between 10.10.13.0 and 192.168.6.0?

which version of ASA are you running?

The version is 8.2.

I added:

nat (inside) 0 access-list nonatacl

access-list nonatacl extended permit ip 192.168.6.0 255.255.255.0 any

I still get the same error:

Oct 18 2012 01:37:34: %ASA-5-305013: Asymmetric NAT rules matched for forward and reverse flows; Connection for udp src outside:192.168.6.220/64932 dst inside:10.10.10.52/53 denied due to NAT reverse path failure

192.168.6.0/24 should be the destination, not the source.

access-list nonatacl permit ip 10.10.13.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.6.0 255.255.255.0

nat (inside) 0 access-list nonatacl

Then "clear xlate", it should work after that.

I have added:

access-list nonatacl extended permit ip 10.10.13.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.6.0 255.255.255.0

I still get the same error. i get no hits in the acl.

access-list nonatacl line 8 extended permit ip 10.10.13.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.6.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt=0) 0x6ba60382

10.10.13.0 ---> is the inside network

can u pls share the full config, thx
