Site-to-site IPSec VPN configuration issues

[erickarpowicz]

I have a pair of Cisco ASA 5505s that have been installed at their respective sites and I am currently trying to configure them remotely. I am having issues with the Site-to-site VPN functionality as mentioned in the subject. Nothing comes up in any debugging messages as neither ASA recognizes that there is a VPN connection between the two. I'm a bit of a novice but I tried to follow Cisco documentation in this set up with no luck. (Also Site A has a remote IPsec VPN that is currently functioning as intended).

Some more information:

Site A - 208.*.*.* (public), 10.20.1.1 255.255.255.0 (private)

Site B - 69.*.*.* (public), 10.11.1.7 255.255.252.0 (private)

Configs:

More info: I cannot get through phase 1.

I have confirmed that I am using the same PSK on each side, enabled PFS on the side that did not have it and removed redundant cryptomaps (as well as tailored outside_map1 to only use AES-256-SHA). Also, I've reloaded multiple times... Thanks ahead of time.

I think you are missing nat exempt rules for private subnets on both cisco A and B.

Go to firewall and nat configuration and add them there. Then the tunnel will initiate.
