Site to Site VPN EIGRP problem (Migrate from single 5540 firewall to multi-context 5585 firewall).

[ohforce55]

I had an issue migrating from the single 5540 firewall to the context 5585 firewall.

The configs are the same. The only differences are software version (old one 9.1 and new firewall is 9.7) and the new firewall is a multi-context.. This firewall is for s2s vpn by the way.

The first issue I encountered was that I had the cables connected wrong. If you see the file I attached called new context, g0/2 and g0/3 needed to be swapped and this issue was resolved by changing the allocate interfaces.

The real problem I had was that eigrp.. We have hub routers connect to the firewall but the eigrp didin't even come up.

The below is the output from the Firewall and it seems we were sending out Hello packets but never receiving them on the ASA.

I couldn't find any issue on the configs..... Can anyone help why the eigrp didn't come up?

Please see the attached.

The filename new context is the one I copied to. It is one of the contexts on the new firewall.

Sh tech new is the new firewall (system).

Sh tech enc-wups-ex-vpnasa is the old firewall.

Config on the ASA looks ok to me.

Have you tried enabling some debugs like debug eigrp neighbors ?

If you do not see hello messages coming in you should have a look at the neighbor as well.

You could also try using the neighbor command to force unicast instead of multicast.

Thanks for your reply!

The issue was resolved by rebooting the firewall.. I know it's funny.

After reloading the firewall, eigrp came up.

I'm not sure why.. I don't know it is because I changed the allocate interface?

With the switching of allocate interface, the firewall was in a weird state??

Do you have any idea?
