FlexVPN VRF-Aware Remote Access Configuration Example

Introduction

This document provides a sample configuration for a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF)-aware FlexVPN in a remote access scenario. The configuration uses a Cisco IOS® router as the tunnel aggregation device with remote access AnyConnect clients.

Prerequisites

Requirements

In this example configuration, the VPN connections are terminated on a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Provider Edge (PE) device where the tunnel termination point is in an MPLS VPN (the front VRF [FVRF]). After the encrypted traffic is decrypted, the clear text traffic is forwarded into another MPLS VPN (the internal VRF [IVRF]).

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

• Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router with IOS-XE3.7.1 (15.2(4)S1) as the FlexVPN server

• Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client and Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client Version 3.1

• Microsoft Network Policy Server (NPS) RADIUS server

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Radius User Profile Configuration

The key configuration used for the RADIUS profile is the two Cisco vendor-specific attributes (VSA) attribute-value (AV) pairs that put the dynamically created virtual access interface in the IVRF and enable IP on the dynamically created virtual access interface:

ip:interface-config=ip unnumbered loopback100
ip:interface-config=ip vrf forwarding ivrf

In Microsoft NPS, the configuration is in the Network Policy settings as shown in this example:

Caution: The ip vrf forwarding command must come before the ip unnumbered command. If the virtual access interface is cloned from the virtual template, and the ip vrf forwarding command is then applied, any IP configuration is removed from the virtual access interface. Although the tunnel is established, the CEF adjacency for the point-to-point (P2P) interface is incomplete. This is an example of the show adjacency command with an incomplete result:

ASR1k#show adjacency virtual-access 1
Protocol Interface                 Address
IP       Virtual-Access1           point2point(6) (incomplete)

If the CEF adjacency is incomplete, all outbound VPN traffic is dropped.

Verify

Use this section to confirm that your configuration works properly. Verify the derived virtual access interface, then verify the IVRF and FVRF settings.

Derived Virtual Access Interface

Verify that the virtual access interface created is cloned correctly from the virtual template interface and has applied all the per-user attributes downloaded from the RADIUS server:

ASR1K#sh derived-config interface virtual-access 1
Building configuration...Derived configuration : 250 bytes
!
interface Virtual-Access1
 ip vrf forwarding ivrf
 ip unnumbered Loopback100
 tunnel source 7.7.7.7
 tunnel mode ipsec ipv4
 tunnel destination 8.8.8.10
 tunnel vrf fvrf
 tunnel protection ipsec profile AC
 no tunnel protection ipsec initiate
end

Crypto Sessions

Verify the IVRF and FVRF settings with these control plane outputs.

This is an example of the output from the show crypto sessiond detail command:

ASR1K#show crypto session detail
