Unable to establish VPN tunnel between ASA 5505 and PIX 515E
Posted on 2008-10-10
We have two offices in the same building. We have a cable run between the two offices. Security policy dictates that we encrypt the data that passes between the two offices. We have a Cisco PIX 515E in Office A and a Cisco ASA 5505 in Office B. They are directly connected with a cat5 cable.... so they're on the same subnet.
I've been unable to get a tunnel working between the two devices - all of the encryption and key exchange settings and PFS settings match - and I've tried several different combinations of DES, 3DES, AES, etc. but it makes no difference. I'm seeing nothing on the PIX when I run 'debug crypto isakmp'.
I have IPSEC rules at each end that match all ip and icmp traffic from the relevant inside networks to the remote side's inside network and visa versa.
I used the wizards to build the config.
Is it a problem that they're on the same subnet?

Thanks for the link. I've done a bit of reading and I *think* the problem is down to the fact that the VPN tunnel it not going over the 'out' interface of the PIX, but a tertiary interface. I've not routed the traffic out of this interface, so it's probably attempting to go out of the 'out' interface as this is the default route.
Gonna give the routing and NAT a closer look in the morning.

okay, so it was routing. Basically, if the traffic doesn't flow properly before implementing the ipsec, the ipsec isn't going to establish.
