PIX Site to Site VPN

Sep 17, 2006 4 Replies

I am trying to get a site to site vpn working.



The main PIX is a 515 and the client PIX is a 501.



I have it all configured and the tunnel comes up fine, however, if I try and ping hosts on the main site (515 side) from the remote site (501 side) it doesn't ping until I log onto the host on the main side I am trying to ping, ping the client PC from there, then the client PC can ping that host?



Hope someone understands what I tried to explain there :-)



Regards



This could be caused if one of the two ends has a dynamic IP address, or if the PIXes have been configured to think that they do.

It could also be caused by the access-lists used for the crypto map match address not being symmetric.

Strange, the 515 didn't have the 'crypto map outside_map 20 match address

20' statment, when I added this in it stopped pinging altogether. Saved config, rebooted and everything is working fine now?

Cheers

Before you rebooted did you do "clear cry ipsec sa" and/or "clear isa sa"?
