300-730 · Question #95

Refer to the exhibit. An IKEv2 site-to-site tunnel between an ASA and a remote peer is not building successfully. What will fix the problem based on the debug output?

The correct answer is C. Correct crypto access-list on both VPN devices. An IKEv2 site-to-site tunnel fails when crypto ACLs are not mirrored on both peers, producing a traffic selector mismatch during IKE negotiation.

Why each option

An IKEv2 site-to-site tunnel fails when crypto ACLs are not mirrored on both peers, producing a traffic selector mismatch during IKE negotiation.

AEnsure crypto IPsec policy matches on both VPN devices.

IPsec transform-set mismatches produce a phase-2 proposal rejection error, which is a distinct failure mode from the traffic selector error caused by ACL mismatches.

BInstall the correct certificate to validate the peer.

Certificate validation failures generate IKE authentication errors during peer identity verification, not traffic selector errors seen in a crypto ACL debug context.

CCorrect crypto access-list on both VPN devices.Correct

In IKEv2/IPsec, both peers must have mirror-image crypto ACLs defining the same interesting traffic; a mismatch causes a TS_UNACCEPTABLE error because the traffic selectors proposed by one peer do not match what the other peer expects. Correcting the crypto ACLs on both devices aligns the proxy identities and allows the IKE_AUTH exchange to complete successfully.

DSpecify the peer IP address in the tunnel group name.

Specifying the peer IP in the tunnel group name resolves tunnel group lookup failures on the ASA but does not correct a traffic selector mismatch caused by mismatched ACLs.
