hi all! &nbsp;configuring ASA firewall for site-to-site vpn with linksys has taken its toll on me. &nbsp; do i need to create the firewall rules on the ASA? &nbsp;There is a site-to-site guide from cisco site which is pretty straight forward but still, the linksys would show connected but i am not able to ping either sites... linksys site-to-site with another linksys, no problem. &nbsp;any insights from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

issues with cisco asa and Linksys (sit-to-site)

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
