When external VPN connections are attempted, they are dropped because there already exists a symbolic link.

The most relevant symptom is the last one, where it describes seeing ARP requests leaving the Check Point gateway trying to resolve a MAC address of the Cisco peer's IP. Note: This scenario solution deals with a specific situation which sometimes occurs when a user makes a common mistake while creating a static route on the Check Point VPN gateway. tcpdump on the external interface (interface leading to the Internet) of the Check Point Security Gateway shows: "X.X.X.X tell Y.Y.Y.Y where X.X.X.X is the IP of the Cisco Peer and Y.Y.Y.Y is the IP of the Check Point external interface".Cisco side is able to initiate traffic and get a successful response from Check Point firewall.Both parties are getting a ping timed out error when they ping their peer's encryption domain.SmartView Tracker shows the error message: "Encryption failure: No response from peer" when Check Point Security Gateway initiates a ping, or sends other traffic to the Cisco encryption domain.Title: Site to Site VPN between Check Point and Cisco fails with "encryption failure: no response from peer" The scenarios that we have encountered and dealt with are detailed below.

There are quite a number of scenarios, in which you may encounter the "Encryption failure: no response from peer" error. Scenario 3: VPN between Check Point Security Gateway and Cisco ASA/PIX fails: "No valid SA"
