ASA 5505 cannot create a second VPN tunnel

Hi Guys,

This issue is driving me nuts and would greatly appreciate all your help.

Scenario....

Site A - Asa 5505

Site B - Asa 5505

Site C- Sonicwall firewall.

I can create a vpn tunnel(main mode) from site A to Site C.

I can create a vpn tunnel (main mode)from site B to site C.

If I try to create a second tunnel from site A to Site B nothing happens i.e dubug of crpto isakmp has no output.

Similiarly

If I blow the configs and start again

I can create a tunnel from Site A to site B and Site B to Site C.

When I try to create a second tunnel from Site B to C once again no joy.

By completing above I have proven that individual VPN tunnel between all devices can be created thus eliminating vendor compatibility. The issue is with creating a second tunnel on any of the asa5505 appliances.

The Sonicwall appliance can easily support multiple VPN tunnels.

A Show ver on each asa 5505 would suggest up to 10 vpn tunnels can be established on each device.

Here are sample configs for each asa appliance.

Hi!

This could be a problem with crypto map binding.

When ever u r trying to create 2 tunnels from say A to B & A to C it is working. But at the time of creating tunnel b/w A to B it is failing due to this crypto map binding issue.

try to get the debug logs before creating tunnel b/w A to B, A to C & B to C

Hi

Thansk for your reply. I have checked the binding as indicated. The attached config should confirm "crypto map outside_map interface outside" for two seperate peers.

A to C for single tunnel is fine. B to C for single tunnel is fine. I can define second tunnel-group and crypto map for a second tunnel from either A or B.

Debug crypto isakmp with level 255 shows zero output when I try to ping to interesting traffic at other end . terminal monitor is running so that I can see output.

When establishing 1st tunnel I will see output from debug.

Nothing for second tunnel which would suggest asa 5505 is not even trying to create second tunnel.

If you have any further suggestions on debug commands I would really appreciate it.

Regards

Peter
