Site-to-site between 100D and AWS

Hello Everyone!

 

I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on my issue with IPSec VPN tunnel.

 

I have a pretty simple setup: Local Network (10.110.0.0/16), AWS VPC (172.10.10.0/24), and 100D firewall. I downloaded configs from AWS and build 2 redundant tunnels, which are up and passing "some" traffic. Everything is setup to pass all traffic from and to AWS without any explicit rules. I do interface-based VPN, so static route is setup to send all 172.10.10.20/24 traffic to VPN interface. The problem I'm having is that I can ping from AWS anything on 10.110.0.0 network, but I can't ping any AWS instances from my LAN.

I'm using "diagnose sniffer packet "MY_INTERFACE"" to see what's going on with the traffic and what I found out is, when I ping from my LAN, sniffer shows "279.429024 169.254.X.X -> 172.10.10.222: icmp: echo request" and I don't get any replies. However, if I specify source interface for my pings to be my firewall's local IP, I get replies back and sniffer shows the following "1208.781932 10.110.1.200 -> 172.10.10.222: icmp: echo request, 

1208.821932 172.10.10.222 -> 10.110.1.200: icmp: echo reply".

I have similar tunnels (and they work as expected) from other locations and everything looks the same to me (I didn't setup original firewalls, but I built the network infrastructure in Amazon, so all static routes in Amazon are correct).

 

 

Thank you in advance!

AWS uses ipv4 link-local-address for the  VPN VPC connectors this way they have a ideal of no duplicate ipv4 address.

OK, thanks for the feedback regarding APIPA or non-APIPA.
