Stateful Failover for IPsec
First Published: September 20, 2004Last Updated: March 28, 2011Stateful failover for IP Security (IPsec) enables a router to continue processing and forwarding IPsec packets after a planned or unplanned outage occurs. Customers employ a backup (secondary) router that automatically takes over the tasks of the active (primary) router if the active router loses connectivity for any reason. This process is transparent to the user and does not require adjustment or reconfiguration of any remote peer.
Stateful failover for IPsec is designed to work in conjunction with stateful switchover (SSO) and Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP). HSRP provides network redundancy for IP networks, ensuring that user traffic immediately and transparently recovers from failures in network edge devices or access circuits. That is, HSRP monitors both the inside and outside interfaces so that if either interface goes down, the whole router is deemed to be down and ownership of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and IPsec security associations (SAs) is passed to the standby router (which transitions to the HSRP active state). SSO allows the active and standby routers to share IKE and IPsec state information so that each router has enough information to become the active router at any time. To configure stateful failover for IPsec, a network administrator should enable HSRP, assign a virtual IP address, and enable the SSO protocol.

Prerequisites for Stateful Failover for IPsec
Complete, Duplicate IPsec and IKE Configuration on the Active and Standby Devices
This document assumes that you have a complete IKE and IPsec configuration. (This document describes only how to add stateful failover to a working IPsec configuration.)
The IKE and IPsec configuration that is set up on the active device must be duplicated on the standby device. That is, the crypto configuration must be identical with respect to Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) policy, ISAKMP keys (preshared), IPsec profiles, IPsec transform sets, all crypto map sets that are used for stateful failover, all access control lists (ACLs) that are used in match address statements on the crypto map sets, all AAA configurations used for crypto, client configuration groups, ip local pools used for crypto, and ISAKMP profiles.
Note
None of the configuration information between the active and standby device is automatically transferred; the user is responsible for ensuring that the crypto configurations match on both devices. If the crypto configurations on both devices do not match, failover from the active device to the standby device will not be successful.
Device Requirements
•
Stateful failover for IPsec requires that your network contains two identical routers that are available to be either the primary or secondary device. Both routers should be the same type of device, have the same CPU and memory, and have either no encryption accelerator or identical encryption accelerators.
•
This feature is currently supported only on a limited number of platforms. To check the latest platform support, go to Cisco Feature Navigator at http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/CFN/jsp/index.jsp.
Restrictions for Stateful Failover for IPsec
When configuring redundancy for a virtual private network (VPN), the following restrictions exist:
•
Both the active and standby devices must run the identical version of the Cisco IOS software, and both the active and standby devices must be connected via hub or switch.
•
The Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and the VPN modules that support stateful failover for IPsec are as follows:
–
The AIM-VPN/BPII-PLUS and AIM-VPN/SSL-1 hardware encryption modules are supported in a Cisco 1841 router.
–
The AIM-VPN/EPII-Plus and AIM-VPN/SSL-2 hardware encryption modules are supported in Cisco 2801, 2811, 2821 and 2851 routers.
–
The AIM-VPN/EPII+ and AIM-VPN/SSL-3 hardware encryption modules are supported in a Cisco 3825 router.
–
The AIM-VPN/HPII+ and AIM-VPN/SSL3 hardware encryption modules are supported in a Cisco 3845 router.
–
The VPN Acceleration Module (VAM) and VAM2 hardware encryption modules are supported in a Cisco 7200 series router.
•
Only "box-to-box" failover is supported; that is, intrachassis failover is currently not supported.
•
WAN interfaces between the active (primary) router and the standby (secondary) router are not supported. (HSRP requires inside interfaces and outside interfaces to be connected via LANs.)
•
Load balancing is not supported; that is, no more than one device in a redundancy group can be active at any given time.
•
Stateful failover of IPsec with Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is not supported.
•
Public key infrastructure (PKI) is not supported when used with stateful failover. (Only preshared keys for IKE are supported.)
•
IKE keepalives are not supported. (Enabling this functionality will cause the connection to be torn down after the standby router assumes ownership control.) However, dead peer detection (DPD) and periodic DPD are supported.
•
IPsec idle timers are not supported when used with stateful failover.
•
A stateful failover crypto map applied to an interface in a virtual route forwarding (VRF) instance is not supported. However, VRF-aware IPsec features are supported when a stateful failover crypto map is applied to an interface in the global VRF.
•
Stateful failover is not compatible or interoperable with the State Synchronization Protocol (SSP) version of stateful failover (which is available in Cisco IOS Release 12.2YX1 and Cisco IOS Release 12.2SU).
Information About Stateful Failover for IPsec
To configure stateful failover for VPNs, you should understand the following concepts:
•
Supported Deployment Scenarios: Stateful Failover for IPsec, page 3
•
IPSec Stateful Failover for Remote Access Connections, page 5
•
Dead Peer Detection with IPsec High Availability
Supported Deployment Scenarios: Stateful Failover for IPsec
It is recommended that you implement IPsec stateful failover in one of the following recommended deployment scenarios—a single interface scenario or a dual interface scenario.
In a single interface scenario, the VPN gateways use one LAN connection for both encrypted traffic arriving from remote peers and decrypted traffic flowing to inside hosts (see Figure 1). The single interface design allows customers to save money on router ports and subnets. This design is typically used if all traffic flowing in and out of the organization does not traverse the VPN routers.
Figure 1 Single Interface Network Topology
In a dual interface scenario, a VPN gateway has more than one interface, enabling traffic to flow in and out of the router via separate interfaces (see Figure 2). This scenario is typically used if traffic flowing in and out of a site must traverse the routers, so the VPN routers will provide the default route out of the network.Figure 2 Dual Interface Network Topology
Table 1 lists the functionality available in both a single interface scenario and a dual interfaces scenario.
IPsec Stateful Failover for Remote Access Connections
The main difference between a remote access and a LAN-to-LAN connection is the use of Xauth and mode-config. IKE Xauth is often used to authenticate the user. IKE mode-config is often used to push security policy from the hub (concentrator) router to the user's IPsec implementation. Mode-config is also typically used to assign an internal company network IP address to a user.
In addition to the differences between a remote access configuration and a LAN-to-LAN configuration, you should note the following remote-access-server-specific functions:
•
Assigned IP address—The IP address can be assigned to the client via one of the following options:
–
Local IP pools. For local IP pools, the administrator must first configure identical local IP address pools on each router in the high availability (HA) pair (via the ip local pool client-address-pool command). This pool name can be applied in one of two places—in a group policy via the crypto isakmp client configuration group group-name (and the submode command pool pool-name) or in a client configuration via the crypto isakmp client configuration address-pool local local-pool command.
–
RADIUS-assigned address. If you are using RADIUS authentication and the RADIUS server returns the Framed-IP-Address attribute, the concentrator will always assign that address to the client. It is recommended that you refer to your RADIUS server vendor's documentation, especially for vendors that allow you to configure address pools on the RADIUS server. Typically those servers require crypto accounting to work properly.
To enable accounting on the HA pair, you should issue the following commands on both Active and Standby devices: aaa accounting network radius-accounting start-stop group radius then apply radius-accounting either to the crypto isakmp profile or the crypto map set.
•
RADIUS NAS-IP address—The HA pair should appear as a single device to the RADIUS server. Thus, both HA routers must communicate with the RADIUS server using the same IP address. However, when communicating with the RADIUS server, the router must use a physical IP address, not a virtual IP (VIP) address as the NAS-IP address of the router. To configure the RADIUS NAS-IP address for the HA pair, you must configure the same loopback address in the HA pair via interface loopback ip address command; thereafter, you must issue the ip radius source-interface loopback command in the HA pair. Finally, add the new loopback IP address to the RADIUS servers configuration so the RADIUS server can process requests from the HA pair.
For additional information on how to configure IPsec stateful failover for a remote access connection, see the section "Configuring IPSec Stateful Failover for an Easy VPN Server: Example" in this document.
Dead Peer Detection with IPsec High Availability
To configure Dead Peer Detection (DPD) with IPsec High Availability (HA), it is recommended that you use a value other than the default (2 seconds). A keepalive time of 10 seconds with 5 retries seems to work well with HA because of the time it takes for the router to get into active mode.
To configure DPD with IPsec HA, use the crypto isakmp keepalive command.

Enabling HSRP: IP Redundancy and a Virtual IP Address
HSRP provides two services—IP redundancy and a VIP address. Each HSRP group may provide either or both of these services. IPsec stateful failover uses the IP redundancy services from only one HSRP standby group. It can use the VIP address from one or more HSRP groups. Use the following task to configure HSRP on the outside and inside interfaces of the router.
Note
Perform this task on both routers (active and standby) and of both interfaces on each router.
Note
You must perform at least one of the prerequisite steps for correct HSRP operation.
Note
Each time an active device relinquishes control to become the standby device, the active device will reload. This functionality ensures that the state of the new standby device synchronizes correctly with the new active device.
Prerequisites for Spanning Tree Protocol and HSRP Stability
If a switch connects the active and standby routers, you must perform one of the following steps to ensure that the correct settings are configured on that switch:
•
Enable the spanning-tree portfast command on every switch port that connects to a HSRP-enabled router interface.
•
Disable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the switch only if your switch does not connect to other switches. Disabling spanning tree in a multi-switch environment may cause network instability.
•
Enable the standby delay minimum [min-delay] reload [reload-delay] command if you do not have access to the switch. The reload-delay argument should be set to a value of at least 120 seconds. This command must be applied to all HSRP interfaces on both routers.
For more information on HSRP instability, see the Avoiding HSRP Instability in a Switching Environment with Various Router Platforms technical note.
Restrictions
•
Both the inside (private) interface and the outside (public) interface must belong to separate HSRP groups, but the HSRP group number can be the same.
•
The state of the inside interface and the outside interface must be the same—both interfaces must be in the active state or standby state; otherwise, the packets will not have a route out of the private network.
•
Standby priorities should be equal on both active and standby routers. If the priorities are not equal, the higher priority router will unnecessarily take over as the active router, negatively affecting uptime.
•
The IP addresses on the HSRP-tracked interfaces of the standby and active routers should both be either lower or higher on one router than the other. In the case of equal priorities (an HA requirement), HSRP will assign the active state on the basis of the IP address. If an addressing scheme exists so that the public IP address of Router A is lower than the public IP address of Router B, but the opposite is true for their private interfaces, an active/standby-standby/active split condition could exist which will break connectivity.

Troubleshooting Tips
To help troubleshoot possible HSRP-related configuration problems, issue any of the following HSRP-related debug commands—debug standby errors, debug standby events, and debug standby packets [terse].
Examples
The following example shows how to configure HSRP on a router:

After you have successfully configured HSRP on both the inside and outside interfaces, you should enable SSO as described the in the section "Enabling SSO" section."
Enabling SSO
Use this task to enable SSO, which is used to transfer IKE and IPsec state information between two routers.
SSO: Interacting with IPsec and IKE
SSO is a method of providing redundancy and synchronization for many Cisco IOS applications and features. SSO is necessary for IPsec and IKE to learn about the redundancy state of the network and to synchronize their internal application state with their redundant peers.
Prerequisites
•
You should configure HSRP before enabling SSO.
•
To avoid losing SCTP communication between peers, be sure to include the following commands to the local address section of the SCTP section of the IPC configuration:
–
retransmit-timeout retran-min [msec] retra-max [msec]
–
path-retransmit max-path-retries

After you have enabled SSO, you should configure reverse route injection (RRI) on a crypto map as shown in the following section.
Configuring Reverse Route Injection on a Crypto Map
You should configure RRI on all existing crypto maps that you want to use with stateful failover. RRI is used with stateful failover so routers on the inside network can learn about the correct path to the current active device. When failover occurs, the new active device injects the RRI routes into its IP routing table and sends out routing updates to its routing peers.
Use one of the following tasks to configure RRI on a dynamic or static crypto map.
•
Configuring RRI on Dynamic Crypto Map, page 13
•
Configuring RRI on a Static Crypto Map, page 14
Configuring RRI on Dynamic Crypto Map
Dynamic crypto map entries, like regular static crypto map entries, are grouped into sets. A set is a group of dynamic crypto map entries all with the same dynamic map name but each with a different dynamic sequence number. Each member of the set may be configured for RRI.

After you have configured RRI, you can enable stateful failover for IPsec and IKE.
Enabling Stateful Failover for IKE and IPsec
Use the following tasks to configure stateful failover for IPsec, IKE, and tunnel protection:
•
Enabling Stateful Failover for IKE, page 15
•
Enabling Stateful Failover for IPSec, page 15
•
Enabling Stateful Failover for Tunnel Protection, page 17
Enabling Stateful Failover for IKE
There is no specific command-line interface (CLI) necessary to enable stateful failover for IKE. It is enabled for a particular VIP address when a stateful failover crypto map is applied to an interface.
Enabling Stateful Failover for IPsec
Use this task to enable stateful failover for IPsec. All IPsec state information is transferred from the active router to the standby router via the SSO redundancy channel that was specified in the task "Enabling SSO."

After you have configured stateful failover, you can use the CLI to protect, verify, and manage your configurations. For more information on completing these tasks, see the sections "Protecting SSO Traffic" and "Managing and Verifying High Availability Information."
Protecting SSO Traffic
Use this task to secure a redundancy group via an IPsec profile. To configure SSO traffic protection, the active and standby devices must be directly connected to each other via Ethernet networks.
The crypto maps that are automatically generated when protecting SSO traffic are applied to each interface, which corresponds to an IP address that was specified via the local-ip command. Traffic that is destined for an IP address that was specified via the remote-ip command is forced out of the crypto-map-configured interface via an automatically created static host route.
Note
If you are certain that the SSO traffic between the redundancy group runs on a physically secure interface, you do not have to configure SSO traffic protection.
