My end of the tunnel is on an ASAv in AWS. (version 9.14)

However in the the debug logs i see this:

IKEv1 was unsuccessful at setting up a tunnel.  Map Tag = outside_map8.  Map Sequence Number = 3.
Tunnel Manager has failed to establish an L2L SA.  All configured IKE versions failed to establish the tunnel. Map Tag= outside_map8.  Map Sequence Number = 3.

How can the tunnel be up, but yet refuse to pass traffic?

    The tunnel is not up. MM_active means it’s trying to establish. When the tunnel is up, you’ll see MM_Idle

  • You need to show us the tunnel config from both sides so we can see what may be wrong. Without that, we can’t help.

  • @RonTrunk: all my tunnels that are up and passing traffic show "MM_ACTIVE". (from "sh crypto isakmp sa"). where would I see MM_Idle?

  • I'm pulling from memory here, but I think MM_Active on an ASA is equivalent to QM_idle on a router. I don't think MM_idle is a real state. Nov 18, 2022 at 0:27

There were 4 hosts on the remote side of the tunnel. I had accidentally listed them twice in the object group for the NAT rule. Once I corrected that mistake everything worked.

  • Good deal. Glad you figured it out.
