Explanation

For a site-to-site IPsec VPN, each peer must point to the reachable IP address of the remote VPN endpoint--that is, the IP address on the WAN/Internet-facing interface of the remote router. From the diagram: R1 outside (toward Internet): 192.168.10.1 R2 outside (toward Internet): 192.168.20.2 Site 1: 10.1.0.0/24 Site 2: 10.2.0.0/24 The crypto map on R1 uses: crypto map mymap 10 ipsec-isakmp set transform-set myset match address 101 set peer <REMOTE_PEER_IP> The <REMOTE_PEER_IP> must be the IP address where R1 can actually reach the IPsec peer, which is R2's Internet-facing interface 192.168.20.2. If the peer were configured with a LAN IP such as 10.2.0.1 (site 2's internal gateway), IKE packets would never reach the remote router because that address is not routable over the Therefore, the correct command to bring up the VPN is: set peer 192.168.20.2
