Hi,

I have Cisco 5505 on version 9.1 and Customer got Draytek Vigor 3200.

We are trying to establish IPsec VPN but tunnels are not comming up and getting this logs on running command debug crypto ikev1 5.

Hi,

I hope you're doing great

The messages that you are getting mean that the security appliance has received a duplicate of a previous Phase 1 packet, and will transmit the last message. This message could indicate a network performance or connectivity issue where the peer is not receiving sent packets in a timely manner. You need to make sure that the remote peer ip address is correct and the pre-shared key is matching exactly the same on both sites. Also, make sure that there is not anything in the middle blocking isakmp (UDP 500). Please try to collect the following information:

Are you able to get the debugs from the remote site?

Please send the VPN configuration of both sites for this specific tunnel.

Do you have any other L2L tunnel active on the ASA?

Please let me know if both sites are directly connected to the Internet and also if they have static or dynamic IP address on the outside.

Please also try to take a “show crypto ikev1 sa” to see what message is the ASA waiting for.

You could also take a capture from peer to peer on the outside to check if there is bidirectional communication. For instance:

capture vpn interface (outside) match ip host (local peer) host (remote peer).

Then you initiate the VPN tunnel and collect the output with the command “show capture vpn”. You also import it into Wireshark to get more details.

Please get back to me if you have any question.

Luis.
