How to create a site2site with OpenSwan and Cisco ASA 5510

Hi there.
Actually I'm on the same page. I've got the tunnel up and running but when I try to ping from the left site to right site I get response from leftnexthop: Destination host unreachable. And when I check the route table I see this:

Code:

192.168.15.0   left.next.hop 255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 ppp0

I think that here I should see something like ipsec0 or something like that.

Hopefully we can help each other here. I'm still digging to find solution.

Regards,
Odinn Burkni

I'm no routing master, but it seems like I should be able to add the following on the Linux side:

Code:

route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw w.x.y.z dev eth1

where 192.168.1.0 is the CISCO side LAN and w.x.y.z is the CISCO's public IP. But when I run it, I get a SIOCADDRT error.

I've been all over Google, trying various things. From what I've read about openswan, It should take care of the routing for you.

This link was somewhat helpful, though it's openswan<->openswan.

Ok, so it's been a while since this thread was last active but I am in the same boat here and wondering if anyone actually got this resolved? I have the tunnel up but no pings between the two. Thanks in advance...
