300-730 · Question #49
Refer to the exhibit. What is the problem with the IKEv2 site-to-site VPN tunnel?
The correct answer is B. crypto access list mismatch. The exhibit indicates an IKEv2 site-to-site VPN failure caused by a crypto access list mismatch, where the traffic selectors on each peer do not mirror each other correctly.

Why each option
The exhibit indicates an IKEv2 site-to-site VPN failure caused by a crypto access list mismatch, where the traffic selectors on each peer do not mirror each other correctly.
An incorrect PSK would cause an IKE Phase 1 authentication failure and produce an AUTH_FAILED notification in the IKE exchange, which is a distinctly different failure mode from what a proxy identity or access list mismatch produces.
A crypto access list mismatch means the source and destination subnets defined on one peer do not exactly mirror the reversed subnets on the remote peer. IKEv2 derives its child SA traffic selectors from these ACLs, and any discrepancy causes the IKE_AUTH or CREATE_CHILD_SA exchange to fail with a TS_UNACCEPTABLE notification, which is the type of output visible in exhibit-based VPN troubleshooting scenarios.
An incorrect tunnel group would cause the ASA to apply the wrong policy map at the peer identification stage, resulting in a connection-level failure before traffic selector negotiation even begins.
A crypto policy mismatch refers to incompatible IKE proposal parameters such as encryption or PRF algorithms, which causes IKE_SA_INIT to fail with a NO_PROPOSAL_CHOSEN error - not a traffic selector failure.
An incorrect certificate would cause an authentication failure during the IKE_AUTH exchange when certificate-based authentication is configured, which is unrelated to the traffic selector negotiation failure indicated in the exhibit.
