One way traffic over IPSEC tunnel

L0 Member

Hi All,

Just having an issue  with a newly created IPSEC tunnel on a new PA-500.  I have tried 4 different devices at the remote end with the same results, so I'm really thinking my problem is due to mis-configuration at the PA-500 end.

The tunnel comes up fine every time (Green lights), but I can only ever achieve traffic flow from Site B (remote) to Site A (behind PA-500)... not the other way.  I can see the Site A to Site B traffic in the PA monitor going out the tunnel with an allow, but it never seems to find its destination.

To confuse the issue a bit, we're in the process of migrating networks and using the PA-500 as a bit of a middle man between the 2 networks (note the 2 Zone1's), so the topology is:

Site A subnet: 192.168.0.0/16 (though the tunnel is set up for 192.168.0.0/16)

Site B subnet: 192.168.250.0/24

PA-500: Interface = ethernet1/1; Zone = "Zone1" (routes to our new network)

PA-500: Interface = ethernet1/2; Zone = "Internet"

PA-500: Interface = ethernet1/6; Zone = "Zone1" (routes to our existing network)

PA-500: Interface = tunnel.2; Zone = "Rmt1" (bound to the IPSEC tunnel in question)

I'm assuming this isn't a routing issue because it makes it from B to A, but in summary we have (among others) static routes in "Router-1" as follows:

192.168.0.0/16 Interface ethernet1/6 (this is where most of the 192.168 subnets are currently)

192.168.250.0/24 Interface tunnel.2 (so the more direct route goes out the tunnel)

I have security policies as follows:

Source Zone "Rmt1", Destination Zone "Zone1", any, any, any... Allow

Source Zone "Zone1", Destination Zone "Rmt1", any, any, any... Allow

As mentioned before, I can see in the monitor:

"Zone1" -> "Rmt1", 192.168.100.115 -> 192.168.250.10, allow, Ingress = eth1/6, Egress = tunnel2

Trace routes from Site A show the entire path from site A to the PA-500 eth1/6 but they time out after that.

Hopefully I've covered everything.  I must be missing something simple.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve.

What's the output from the following commands?

>show vpn ike-sa

>show vpn ipsec-sa

What does the system logs show when you initiate traffic from remote to pan and vice versa?

What's the output from?

>show routing route

When you ping from remote to PAN, can you execute the following and provide the output?

>show session all filter source x.x.x.x (insert remote ip here)

Hi,


Thanks for the reply.  Below are the answers to your questions.  I've modified IP addresses where applicable for privacy.

Q/ What does the system logs show when you initiate traffic from remote to pan and vice versa?

A/

The "System" log doesn't really output anything different that I can see when initiating connections either way.  However a new message has entered the picture.  This is repeating every 10sec.



IKE phase-1 SA is expired SA: 203.63.68.57[500]-58.96.38.99[500] cookie:xxxxxx.

Hope that answers your questions correctly?  Thanks for looking into it.

Steve.

Hmmmm,

When you initiate that traffic from the system logs, any indication of phase 2 having issues in relationship to proxy ids? I should have been more precise in asking for you to source the IP by utilizing the LAN IP from the remote end. Have you tried bringing down your tunnel and then initiating that continuous ping from 192.168.250.0/24 to the PAN?

>clear vpn ike-sa gateway gw-glh-crs

<clear vpn ipsec-sa tunnel vpn-glh-crs:sub

Look at the system logs soon thereafter. Also, do you have a clean up rule in your security policies? Any chance you can temporarily disable that during your debug of this issue?

Hi Renato,

Thanks very much for your input.  The problem is now resolved, however I'm not really sure what fixed it.  Somewhere along the line with me re-trying differnet models I must have corrected a very simple error that got it working.

Thanks again,

Steve.

Hi,

I am having the same problem here. I really don't get what I am doing wrong.

Best regards,

Adrian
