Cisco 5506-x dynamic site to site tunnel doesn't works

Question

I am followed ASA-to-ASA Dynamic-to-Static IKEv1/IPsec Configuration Example step by step, currently I am using IP address 10.0.0.1 for the static peer and 10.0.0.2 for the dynamic peer, but seems the tunnel doesn't works:

ASA1(config)# sh cry ipsec sa 

There are no ipsec sas

ASA1(config)# sh cry isakmp sa 

There are no IKEv1 SAs

There are no IKEv2 SAs

ASA2(config)# sh cry ipsec sa 

There are no ipsec sas

ASA2(config)# sh cry isakmp sa 

There are no IKEv1 SAs

There are no IKEv2 SAs

Any ideas?

packet-tracer result:

ASA2(config)# packet-tracer input inside tcp 192.168.2.100 56789 192.168.0.100 443

Result:
input-interface: inside
input-status: up
input-line-status: up
Action: drop
Drop-reason: (no-route) No route to host

Answer 1

On ASA2 (dynamic peer), you did not set the VPN peer - 10.0.0.1 in your crypto map outside_map 1.

Please try the followings on ASA2:

• Remove crypto map outside_map 1 set pfs
• Add crypto map outside_map 1 set peer 10.0.0.1

In addition, on ASA2, you may need to create an interface access-list on inside interface for traffic from ASA2 inside network to reach ASA1 network/subnet at the other end of VPN tunnel.

With dynamic Site-to-Site IPSec VPN, you can initiate the traffic ONLY from dynamic site. Therefore, you need to generate traffic from ASA2 to bring up the tunnel.

If it still does not work, run the packet-tracer command (using CLI) on ASA2 as below and update your question with the output. I will check and update my answer accordingly:

• packet-tracer input inside tcp 192.168.2.100 56789 192.168.0.100 443

Updated answer:

The output of packet-tracer told us that ASA2 did not know where to route/forward the traffic to ASA1 inside network (192.168.0.100 in 192.168.0.0/24) because it does not have anything in its routing table.

Please add the followings for testing purposes in this particular setup/lab, then try packet-tracer (and ping) again few times:

• On ASA2: route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1
• On ASA1: route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.2

In this setup/lab, ASA2 is not an actual dynamic peer as you have static IP address configured on outside interface. therefore, you need a static default route on ASA2, and the same on ASA1.

In the real world/scenario, when ASA2 is a dynamic peer (dynamic IP address on outside interface), ASA2 will/should have its own default route thanks to the command ip address dhcp setroute or ip address pppoe setroute.

I hope it is helpful and you can solve the issue.
