Routing traffic from branch through HQ to vendor

L1 Bithead

example.jpg

 

Currently Im labing a situtation where I'll need to have branch users route to a vendor through HQ via IPsec tunnels. Users at my banch access can acesss Web/HQ services though the HQ firewall, but when accessing the vendor. Logs show from HQ the attempts to the vendor from the branch office. But nothing but incompletes/aged-out. 

 

From HQ, I do see active connections for  phaseII for the branch/vendor connection but of course no encap/decaps.

 

Also I do have redistrabution profiles for Branch and Vendor connections on the HQ firewall.

 

Thoughts?

Just found this, which Im spot on. I do worry that my vendor side might be incorrect

So found I the problem, or "more of a design issue".

 

The dynamic vpn setup on my branch side, is the issue to the vendor. I relized that when settting up a direct connection from branch to vendor. The vendor does not support Nat-T!!!! Doh!!!! Which is why I would see the out bound encaps but no decaps back on the HQ side.

 

Back to the drawing board... Hopefully this stops someone form spinning their wheels
