SonicWall VPN tunnel is up, but no traffic allowed. Where to begin troubleshooting?


I'm have a tunnel between a SonicWall NSA2400 (corp office) and a TZ215W (branch). The VPN link shows to be up, however, traffic counter stays at 0 and I can't ping to the remote network.

It's a site-to-site setup:
-corp office:
--IKE preshare
--IPSec gateways set to 0.0.0.0 (dynamic IP at branch)
--local IKE ID: ~WAN IP~
--Peer ID: ~peer's firewall ID~
--Local net: LAN subnets
--Remote net: 192.168.0.0 - 255.255.0.0
--Phase1: IKEv2 > Group2 > AES-256 > SHA1
--Phase2: ESP > AES-256 > SHA1
--NetBIOS bcast enabled

-branch
--IKE preshare
--IPSec gateways set to ~corp WAN IP~
--local IKE ID: ~firewall ID~
--Peer ID: ~corp WAN IP~
--Local net: LAN subnets
--Remote net: 192.168.0.0 - 255.255.0.0
--Phase1: IKEv2 > Group2 > AES-256 > SHA1
--Phase2: ESP > AES-256 > SHA1
--NetBIOS bcast enabled
--Keep alive enabled

The connection status is as follows

Name    Local                           Remote                          Gateway
corp    192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255   192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255   ~corp VPN Static IP~

Any obvious pieces I'm missing?


Solution

  • Apparently the "obvious piece" I was missing was the fact that I had 192.168.0.0 for both local and remote LANs. I ended up using 192.168.0.0 for the corp site and 10.100.0.0 for the branch, now all is well.
