Site-to-Site VPN Up but no traffic passing through

David Garcia

Hi, I have setup a Site-to-Site VPN between an ASA and a cisco Router (UC520). The tunnel is up, but no traffic is coming through, although on the ASA I'm seeing the counters for TX and RX increasing. Troubleshooting I found that the router has only pkts encaps but pkts decaps is 0. Does anyone have an idea about what could be happening? Both phase 1 and 2 completes without any problems and the ASA and router. See bellow the sh crypto ipsec sa from router and asa. Thanks, David.

UPDATE: I just confirmed that the traffic is getting to a host in one side of the tunnel (behind ASA). I installed wireshark and I was able to capture the traffic comming from the the other network. But the reply is not getting to the router. See bellow:

UPDATE: I solved this issue. The router by default allowed any connections to the port UDP 500 used for setting up the tunnel. But then when the traffic needed to enter using IPSec that uses ESP (protocol 50) the router blocked that connection and no traffic could get in. So what I did was to add both access lists and the tunnel started to work.

Hope this can help someone with a similar issue.

David

To confirm, does the router allow UDP port 500 only by default?

By default a router would permit everything, unless it has specifically been configured with an ACL to lock down to certain protocols/ports.
