cannot establish Site to Site VPN....

harsha senaratna · ‎07-30-2012

hi all,

It is required to setup site to site vpn between cisco 7200 and checkpoint firewall.
But tunnel won't establish and following error occured. It's difficult to troubleshoot because other end managed
by different party. In our side udp port 500 opened.

Hi harsha,

Can both ends reach each other?

MKD

harsha senaratna · ‎07-30-2012

hi Mohammed,

Thanks for you quick response. My 7200 resides in DMZ and ping/traceroute disabled by the other end. I dont have a way to check the other end. So I cannot figure out whether I have the reachability or not. But I can reach the global IP's like 4.2.2.2 - Global GNS as well as google.com etc from my 7200 router.

Thanks

Hi Harsha,

It clearly shows a connectivy issue.

I would recommend to you to check on both sides (if possible) and make sure they can reach each other.

Keep us posted.

Please rate any post that you find useful.

mkdccie · ‎07-30-2012

Hi harsha,

According to your posted logs, it looks like its on the very beginning of first step of the vpn tunnel , you must be sure of the connectivity with port UDP 500 at both ends.

Second step will be the parameteres and pre-shared-key,.....

Regards,

MKD

Javier Portuguez · ‎07-30-2012

If they can communicate across the Internet, then check the Phase 1 settings.

Make sure the other side has you as a VPN peer and that it currently runs VPN services (ISAKMP and IPsec enabled on the outside).

harsha senaratna · ‎08-03-2012

hi all,

I could be able to make tunnel with the other side and be able to reach the peer remote network. But once
I remove the crypto map from the interface and re-aply it ,I couldnt establish the tunnel. Then I clear the all security assosiations using "clear crypto sa" and "clear crypto isakmp" in both sides. But still I have the issue.

config:

crypto isakmp policy 3
      encr 3des
      authentication pre-share
      group 2

crypto isakmp key ***** address

crypto ipsec transform-set transform-s2s esp-3des esp-sha-hmac

crypto map Crypto-Map-S2s 1 ipsec-isakmp
      set peer
      set transform-set transform-s2s
      match address ACL

ip access-list extended ACL
permit ip host host

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
crypto map Crypto-Map-S2s

Debug Output:

ISAKMP:(0):peer does not do paranoid keepalives
%CRYPTO-4-IKMP_NO_SA: IKE message from no SA and is not an initialization offer

What is the issue with these.
Thanks

Hi Harsha,

Could you post the show run from the 7200? Please remove any sensitive info.

Also, kindly post the output of the following after you've made a ping from a source host/PC behind the 7200 towards the remote internal IP:

show crypto isakmp sa

show crypto ipsec sa

debug crypto isakmp

debug crypto ipsec

I also have a similar problem. My vpn still not working.

rlyons989 · ‎10-26-2017

So I had this very problem, with the same error messages in the log after doing a debug (see below):

000496: Oct 26 2017 20:16:36.469 UTC: ISAKMP: Error while processing SA request: Failed to initialize SA
000497: Oct 26 2017 20:16:36.469 UTC: ISAKMP: Error while processing KMI message 0, error 2.

In my case, I was doing front-door vrf, so my tunnels were in a different vrf. I was about to reload the router because I had exhausted all other options (configs were fine and identical to other sites that were working fine).

Finally, I tried removing the vrf from the router and re-added it - litterally:

no ip vrf INET

ip vrf INET

...of course this removes all the vrf configuration from interfaces, etc... so that had to get re-added too. Long story short - this completely fixed it!

If you have a similar issue - give it a try. This was on a 4431.
