Sharing IPsec with Tunnel Protection

Last Updated: March 28, 2013

The Sharing IPsec with Tunnel Protection feature allows an IP Security (IPsec) Security Association Database (SADB) to be shared between two or more generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel interfaces when tunnel protection is used. These tunnel interfaces share a single underlying cryptographic SADB, cryptographic map, and IPsec profile in the Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN) configuration.

If IPsec security association (SA) sessions are not shared in the same IPsec SADB, then an IPsec SA may get associated with an undesired IPsec SADB, and may also get associated with a wrong tunnel interface, causing duplication of IPsec SAs and flapping of tunnel interfaces. If the tunnel interfaces flap (change rapidly and repeatedly between online and offline states), then network connectivity problems occur.


Note
Security threats, as well as the cryptographic technologies to help protect against them, are constantly changing. For more information about the latest Cisco cryptographic recommendations, see the Next Generation Encryption (NGE) white paper.

Prerequisites for Sharing IPsec with Tunnel Protection

  • Before a multipoint GRE (mGRE) and IPsec tunnel can be established, you must define an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) policy by using the crypto isakmp policy command.

Restrictions for Sharing IPsec with Tunnel Protection

  • The tunnel source command on all the tunnel interfaces that use the same tunnel source must be configured using interface type and number, not the tunnel's IP address.
  • All tunnels with the same tunnel source interface must use the same IPsec profile and must have the tunnel protection shared command configured. The only exception is a scenario when there are only peer-to-peer (P2P) GRE tunnel interfaces configured with the same tunnel source in the system, all with unique tunnel destination IP addresses.
  • Different IPsec profile names must be used for shared and unshared tunnels.

    For example, if "tunnel 1" is configured with the tunnel source loopback0 command, and "tunnel 2" and "tunnel 3" are shared using the tunnel source loopback1 command, then use ipsec-profile-1 for tunnel 1 and ipsec-profile-2 for tunnels 2 and 3.

  • A different IPsec profile must be used for each set of shared tunnels.

    For example, if tunnels 1 through 5 use loopback0 as their tunnel source and tunnels 6 through 10 use loopback1, then define the profile ipsec-profile-1 for tunnels 1 through 5 and ipsec-profile-2 for tunnels 6 through 10.

  • It may be desirable to not share an IPsec session between two or more tunnel interfaces using the same tunnel source.

    For example, in a service provider environment, each DMVPN cloud can represent a different customer. It is desirable to lock the connections from a customer to a tunnel interface and not share or allow IPsec sessions from other customers. For such scenarios, Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) profiles can be used to identify and bind customer connections to an ISAKMP profile and use the ISAKMP profile to connect to an IPsec profile. This ISAKMP profile limits the IPsec profile to accept only those connections that matched the corresponding ISAKMP profile. Separate ISAKMP and IPsec profiles can be obtained for each DMVPN cloud (tunnel interface) without sharing the same IPsec SADB.

  • Sharing IPsec is not desired and not supported for a virtual tunnel interface (VTI). A VTI provides a routable interface type for terminating IPsec tunnels and a way to define protection between sites to form an overlay network.

Information About Sharing IPsec with Tunnel Protection

Single IPsec SAs and GRE Tunnel Sessions

In a dual-hub, dual-DMVPN topology, it is possible to have two or more GRE tunnel sessions (same tunnel source and destination, but different tunnel keys) between the two endpoints of the same type. In this case, you should use a single IPsec SA to secure both GRE tunnel sessions. It is not possible to determine the tunnel interface under which an IPsec Quick Mode (QM) request must be processed and bound when two tunnel interfaces use the same tunnel source.

The tunnel protection ipsec profile shared command is used to create a single IPsec SADB for all the tunnel interfaces that use the same profile and tunnel source interface. This configuration allows a single IPsec SA to be used for all GRE tunnels (same tunnel source and destination, but different tunnel keys) between two endpoints of the same type. The tunnel protection ipsec profile shared command also makes IPsec QM processing unambiguous because there is one SADB to process the incoming IPsec QM request for all shared tunnel interfaces as opposed to multiple SADBs (one for each tunnel interface when not shared).

The SA of a QM proposal to a tunnel interface is processed by using the shared SADB and cryptographic map parameters. On the cryptodata plane, the decrypted and GRE decapsulated packets are demultiplexed to the appropriate tunnel interface by the GRE module using a local address, a remote address, and optional tunnel key information.

When the IPsec path maximum transmission unit (MTU) changes, the value of SA MTU in the Quantum Flow Processor (QFP) and the hardware cryptographic engine gets updated and becomes consistent with the IPsec MTU. While the MTU changes, the system may drop some packets and transient %ATTN-3-SYNC_TIMEOUT errors may be displayed on the console.


Note
The tunnel source, tunnel destination, and tunnel key (triplet) must be unique for all tunnel interfaces on a router. For a multipoint GRE (mGRE) interface where the tunnel destination is not configured, the pair (tunnel source and tunnel key) must be unique. Incoming GRE packets are also matched to P2P GRE tunnels first; if there is no match, then they are matched to mGRE tunnels.

How to Configure Sharing IPsec with Tunnel Protection

Sharing an IPsec SADB Between Multiple Tunnel Interfaces in a DMVPN

Perform this task to configure a Cisco IOS router to share an IPsec SADB between multiple tunnel interfaces in a DMVPN.

If your configuration requires more spoke routers in a dual-hub, dual DMVPN topology, repeat the steps listed in this task to configure additional spokes.

SUMMARY STEPS

1.    enable

2.    configure terminal

3.    interface tunnel number

4.   tunnel source {ip-address | interface-type interface-number}

5.    tunnel protection ipsec profile name [shared]

6.    exit

7.    exit


DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
enable


Example:

Router> enable

 

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.
 
Step 2
configure terminal


Example:

Router# configure terminal

 

Enters global configuration mode.

 
Step 3
interface tunnel number


Example:

Router(config)# interface tunnel 5

 

Configures a tunnel interface and enters interface configuration mode.

  • The number argument specifies the number of the tunnel interface that you want to create or configure. There is no limit on the number of tunnel interfaces you can create.
 
Step 4
tunnel source {ip-address | interface-type interface-number}

Example:

Router(config-if)# tunnel source GigabitEthernet 0

 

Sets the source IP address or source interface type number for a tunnel interface.

  • When you are using the tunnel protection ipsec profile command, you must specify an interface, not an IP address for the tunnel source.
 
Step 5
tunnel protection ipsec profile name [shared]


Example:

Router(config-if)# tunnel protection ipsec profile vpnprof shared

 

Associates a tunnel interface with an IPsec profile.

  • The name argument specifies the name of the IPsec profile; this value must match the name specified in the crypto ipsec profile name command.
  • The shared keyword allows IPsec sessions to be shared between multiple tunnel interfaces configured with the same tunnel source IP.
 
Step 6
exit


Example:

Router(config-if)# exit

 

Exits interface configuration mode and enters global configuration mode.

 
Step 7
exit


Example:

Router(config)# exit

 

Exits global configuration mode and enters privileged EXEC mode.

Feature Information

Sharing IPSec with Tunnel Protection

Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5

The Sharing IPsec with Tunnel Protection feature allows an IPsec session to be shared between two or more GRE tunnel interfaces.

In Cisco IOS XE Release 2.5, this feature was introduced on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.

The following command was modified by this feature: tunnel protection ipsec profile shared.

Glossary

GRE--generic routing encapsulation. Tunnels that provide a specific pathway across the shared WAN and encapsulate traffic with new packet headers to ensure delivery to specific destinations. The network is private because traffic can enter a tunnel only at an endpoint. Tunnels do not provide true confidentiality (encryption does), but can carry encrypted traffic.

GRE tunneling can also be used to encapsulate non-IP traffic into IP and send it over the Internet or IP network. The Internet Package Exchange (IPX) and AppleTalk protocols are examples of non-IP traffic.

IKE--Internet Key Exchange. A hybrid protocol that implements Oakley key exchange and Skeme key exchange inside the ISAKMP framework. Although IKE can be used with other protocols, its initial implementation is with IPsec. IKE provides authentication of the IPsec peers, negotiates IPsec keys, and negotiates IPsec security associations.

IPsec--IP Security. A framework of open standards developed by the IETF. IPsec provides security for transmission of sensitive information over unprotected networks such as the Internet. IPsec acts at the network layer, protecting and authenticating IP packets between participating IPsec peers, such as Cisco routers.

ISAKMP--Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol. A protocol framework that defines payload formats, the mechanics of implementing a key exchange protocol, and the negotiation of a security association.

NHRP--Next Hop Resolution Protocol. Protocol that routers, access servers, and hosts can use to discover the addresses of other routers and hosts connected to an NBMA network.

The Cisco implementation of NHRP supports the IETF draft version 11 of NBMA NHRP.

The Cisco implementation of NHRP supports IP Version 4, IPX network layers, and, at the link layer, ATM, Ethernet, SMDS, and multipoint tunnel networks. Although NHRP is available on Ethernet, NHRP need not be implemented over Ethernet media because Ethernet is capable of broadcasting. Ethernet support is unnecessary (and not provided) for IPX.

SA--security association. Describes how two or more entities use security services to communicate securely. For example, an IPsec SA defines the encryption algorithm (if used), the authentication algorithm, and the shared session key to be used during the IPsec connection.

Both IPsec and IKE require and use SAs to identify the parameters of their connections. IKE can negotiate and establish its own SA. The IPsec SA is established either by IKE or by manual user configuration.

transform--List of operations performed on a data flow to provide data authentication, data confidentiality, and data compression. For example, one transform is the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol with the Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC)-Message Digest Algorithm (MD5) authentication algorithm; another transform is the Authentication Header (AH) protocol with the 56-bit DES encryption algorithm and the ESP protocol with the HMAC-Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) authentication algorithm.

tunnel--A secure communication path between two peers, such as two routers. It does not refer to using IPsec in tunnel mode.

VPN--Virtual Private Network. A framework that consists of multiple peers transmitting private data securely to one another over an otherwise public infrastructure. In this framework, inbound and outbound network traffic is protected using protocols that tunnel and encrypt all data. This framework permits networks to extend beyond their local topology, while remote users are provided with the appearance and functionality of a direct network connection.
