Cisco ASA VPN Tunnel Encaps Decaps

If you look below, you can see going over a tunnel that the decaps are at 0 and the encaps are at 21. This means it is encrypting the data and sending it but has not received anything to decrypt in return. The same goes for the opposite.

To view this info you would use the command “sh ipsec sa peer x.x.x.x

At this point the tunnel is up so Phase 1 can be ruled out. I would check for ACL and NAT misconfigurations. Also check to make sure that the other end is routing properly through the tunnel
