IPSEC VPN (l2l) not coming up

Hello Community,

 

I have put the following IPSEC config together. It must be wrong because the tunnel is not showing up. 


ASA1

conf t
! rename Management nameif to outsideP2p
conf t
int Management 0/0
nameif outsideP2p

! enable crypto ikev1

! apply crypto map to outside interface
crypto map site-a interface outsideP2p

 

Goal: 

1 - Site to Site VPN between 2 ASA firewalls running 9.12.4.58. Outside interface is the management 0/0 interface. I intended to have a virtual interface like a loopback. I know loopbacks aren't supported on ASAs but my goal is to have a logical interface like what a loopback would be. I want to ping between the two logical interfaces on each ASA. 

2 - Diagram:

logical interfce 10.10.12.1/24< - > ASA1 10.244.7.15 Management 0/0 < - - IPSEC TUNNEL - - > Management 0/0 10.244.7.16 ASA2 < - > 10.10.12.2/24 logical interface. 

Note: "logical interface" is what I used in place of Loopback since Loopbacks aren't supported on ASAs. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated. 

3 - The ASA1 and ASA2 devices are on the same subnet and the same switch. (no routing in between)

4 - Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

 Your problem seems to be the traffic of interest be the same on both sides.

 In order to the tunnel come up, there might be traffic flowing thrugh the interface where the crypto map is applied.

But, with the same network segment,  there will be no traffic.

 Use a different subnet instead 10.10.12.0 both sides, use 10.10.13.0 in one side and 10.10.12.0 in the other side.

 run shpw crypto ipsec sa and see if there will be hits.

This did not work as a solution. I think the first hurdle is getting phase 1 to come up which I was not successful at accomplishing.

Unless you not matching the phase1 parameters, this could pretty well be the problem. No way you could have the same network on both sides.

 If you changed that and not worked, fine, lets see something else,  but surelly you need to fix that.

 Can you share the output of

 show crypto ipsec sa

 show crypto isamak sa

But I dont think you can use management interface for VPN

Management Port Configuration Changes

The  ASA 5500-X Series introduced a shared management port for firewall and  IPS services.,There are certain caveats to follow during migration from  the ASA 5500 Series.

ā€¢  The shared management port cannot be used as a data port. All  through-the-box traffic arriving at the management port will be dropped  implicitly. This cannot be disabled.

ā€¢ The shared management port cannot be used as a part of a high availability configuration.

If  the ASA management port (M0/0) on the ASA 5500 Series appliance was  being used as a data port, the configuration associated with that port  should be moved to one of the gigabit data ports numbered above G0/3.

There are many issue here 

First you use management interface which is not in data plane for vpn, this I think not work

You use same subnet in both Asa that not work, the subnet need to different to make traffic hit acl policy vpn and make Asa initate phase1 and phase2 of ipsec, using same subnet is make Asa not forward traffic through vpn it assume that this IP is direct connect

Also you must initiate traffic using pc connect to ASA not using interface of Asa.

Done. IPSEC still isn't working. Is there a way to build a virtual interface that will come up no matter what on the ASA? Any other interface, I'm going to have to cable something up. That was the reason for trying to use a loopback originally.
