ASA 5520/5505 VPN tunnel up, but not passing traffic
Hello experts!
I have a 5520 in the core, and a 5505 in the field (currently the only peer). 172.18.4.0/24 is a n Ethernet hop into the core network, which is 10.1.x.x. Other networks directly connected to the core are 10.4.0.0/16, etc. The remote LAN connected to the 5505 is 10.6.0.0/16. There is a tunnel up between them but no traffic is flowing. There is no NAT’ing on the core 5520, but the 5505 does NAT for local Internet access.
Packet tracing in ASDM yields “Flow denied by configured rule”, and points toward the implicit deny on the inside ACL. I have been over and over the crypto maps, and those match perfectly. I’m pretty sure the NAT exempt rules are configured correctly. Can you please help me diagnose this problem?

I don't see any nat rules on the core ASA. Also, on the remote asa your nonat rules make sense except the last acl line.
access-list inside_nat0_outbound extended permit ip 172.18.4.0 255.255.255.0 10.
6.0.0 255.255.0.0
That line will never match because traffic will never hit the inside interface of that asa with a source of 172.18.4.0/24, rather only a destination. This acl line doesn't hurt anything, but it doesn't help.
At a quick glance everything else looks fine with the exception of the nat rules (or lack thereof) on the core side. Both sides need nonat rules.

Okay. I figured since there was no NAT occurring on the core that those commands were not needed. I added NAT exclusions to the core, and also removed the unnecessary line from the branch 5505.
Still, a packet trace on the branch ASA (ICMP from 10.6.0.1 to 172.18.4.1, for instance) shows packets dropped by a configured rule. That rule appears to be the implicit deny on the inside ACL.
Ideas?

Hmm... not exactly sure, but at this point it appears you have no acl at all on the inside interface on the remote side as well as the core side. This means that traffic will be allowed based on security level rules only - high can go to low. As a quick test you could make an acl that is a simple 'permit ip any any' and apply it to the inside interface. If this doesn't correct the issue then it's not really an ACL rule that's causing the issue. Possibly a nat or inspection rule.
