Packet Tracer Phase 9 Type:VPN Subtype:encrypt Result:DR

We have an issue of no traffic flow over IPSec VPN, however the VPN is successfully established between Cisco ASA firewalls in Site A and Site B.

Using packet-tracer, we are trying to find out the path and status of an icmp packet leaving the firewall. For ICMP, you need to specify ICMP type (8) and ICMP code (0). 10.10.10.0/24 subnet presents behind one end of ASA (ASA-A) and 20.20.20.0/24 on the other ASA (ASA-B).

And when your packet gets ‘dropped’ like below, then it usually means that there is a mismatch access-list in one of those ASAs. In my case, it was bit different, ASA-A got several IPSec VPN tunnel with my other branch offices (ASA-C, ASA-D…etc) and by mistake, I added 20.20.20.0/24 in ASA-A on ACL to ASA-C.

I was spending couple of days to fix this issue, so this article might be useful to someone who got similar problem.
