To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Use the crypto isakmp identity command to specify an ISAKMP identity either by IP address or by host name. As a general rule, you should set all identities for peers in the same way—either by IP address or by host name.

Set an ISAKMP identity whenever you specify preshared keys.

Use the address keyword when only one interface (and therefore only one IP address) is used by the peer for IKE negotiations, and the IP address is known.

Use the hostname keyword if more than one interface on the peer might be used for IKE negotiations, or if the IP address for the interface is unknown (such as with dynamically assigned IP addresses).

Description

crypto isakmp identity

Specifies the identity the router uses when participating in the IKE protocol.


crypto isakmp policy

To define an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) policy, use the crypto isakmp policy command in global configuration mode. To delete an IKE policy, use the no form of this command.

crypto isakmp policy priority

no crypto isakmp policy priority

Syntax Description

priority

Value that uniquely identifies the IKE policy and assigns a priority to the policy. Use an integer from 1 to 10000, with 1 being the highest priority and 10000 the lowest.


Defaults

There is a default policy, which always has the lowest priority. The default policy contains default values for the encryption, hash, authentication, Diffie-Hellman group, and lifetime parameters. (The parameter defaults are listed in the "Usage Guidelines" section.) When you create an IKE policy, the default for a particular parameter is used if no value is specified.

Use the crypto isakmp policy command to specify the parameters to use during an IKE negotiation. (These parameters create the IKE security association [SA].)

The crypto isakmp policy command enters ISAKMP policy configuration mode. The following commands are available in this mode to specify the parameters in the policy:

authentication (IKE policy) command—Specifies that the default values are Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (RSA) signatures.

description (IKE policy) command—Creates a description of an IKE policy.

encryption (IKE policy) command—Specifies that the default value is 56-bit DES-CBC.

aes—Specifies that the encrypted IKE messages protected by this suite are encrypted using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 128-bit key.

aes 192—Specifies that the encrypted IKE messages protected by this suite are encrypted using AES with a 192-bit key.

aes 256—Specifies that the encrypted IKE messages protected by this suite are encrypted using AES with a 256-bit key.

group (IKE policy) command—Specifies that the default value is 768-bit Diffie-Hellman.

hash (IKE policy) command—Specifies that the default value is SHA-1.

lifetime (IKE policy) command—Specifies that the default value is 86,400 seconds (1 day).

If you do not specify one of these commands for a policy, the default value is used for that parameter.

To exit ISAKMP policy configuration mode, enter exit.

You can configure multiple IKE policies on each peer participating in IP Security (IPSec). When the IKE negotiation begins, it tries to find a common policy configured on both peers, starting with the highest priority policies as specified on the remote peer.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure two policies for the peer:

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# crypto isakmp policy 15
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# hash md5
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# authentication rsa-sig
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# group 2
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# lifetime 5000
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# exit

RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# crypto isakmp policy 20
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# authentication pre-share
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# lifetime 10000
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-isakmp)# exit

The configuration results in the following policies:

Protection suite priority 15
  encryption algorithm: DES - Data Encryption Standard (56 bit keys)
  hash algorithm: Message Digest 5
  authentication method: Rivest-Shamir-Adelman Signature
  Diffie-Hellman Group: #2 (1024 bit)
  lifetime: 5000 seconds, no volume limit
Protection suite priority 20
  encryption algorithm: DES - Data Encryption Standard (56 bit keys)
  hash algorithm: Secure Hash Standard
  authentication method: Pre-Shared Key
  Diffie-Hellman Group: #1 (768 bit)
  lifetime: 10000 seconds, no volume limit
Default protection suite
  encryption algorithm: DES - Data Encryption Standard (56 bit keys)
  hash algorithm: Secure Hash Standard
  authentication method: Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Signature
  Diffie-Hellman Group: #1 (768 bit)
  lifetime: 86400 seconds, no volume limit

IKE policy 15 is the highest priority, and the default policy is the lowest priority.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

The peers are mapped to an ISAKMP profile when their identities are matched (as given in the identification [ID] payload of the Internet Key Exchange [IKE]) against the identities defined in the ISAKMP profile. To uniquely map to an ISAKMP profile, no two ISAKMP profiles should match the same identity. If the peer identity is matched in two ISAKMP profiles, the configuration is invalid. At least one match identity command must also be defined in the ISAKMP profile for the profile to be complete.

Before you configure an ISAKMP profile, the key rings that are used for the profile should be configured.

The Group-Lock attribute is used if preshared key authentication is used with IKE. When the attribute is enabled, you may enter your extended Xauth username as name/group, name\group, name@group, or name%group. The group that is specified after the delimiter is then compared against the group identifier that is sent during IKE aggressive mode. The groups must match or the connection is rejected.

The Group-Lock attribute is configured on a Cisco IOS XR router or in the RADIUS profile. This attribute has local (gateway) significance only and is not passed to the client.

The username in the local or RADIUS database must be of the following format:

Modification

Release 3.4.0

This command was introduced on the Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.


Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

If split tunneling is not in use (for example, the SPLIT_INCLUDE attribute was not negotiated), you lose not only Internet access, but also access to resources on the local subnetworks. The Include-Local-LAN attribute allows the server to push the attribute to the client, which allows for a nonsplit-tunneling connection to access the local subnetwork at the same time as the client (for example, the connection is to the subnetwork to which the client is directly attached).

The Include-Local-LAN attribute is configured on a Cisco IOS XR router or in the RADIUS profile.

To configure the Include-Local-LAN attribute, use the include-local-lan command.

The following example is an attribute-value (AV) pair for the Include-Local-LAN attribute:

ipsec:include-local-lan=1

You must enable the crypto isakmp client configuration group command, which specifies group policy information that has to be defined or changed, before enabling the include-local-lan command.


NoteThe Include-Local-LAN attribute is applied only by a RADIUS user.

The attribute is applied on a per-user basis after the user is authenticated.

The attribute overrides any similar group attributes.

The Include-Local-LAN attribute is sent to the client device to allow access to the local LAN. Whether the attribute was received for the group or for the user, the priority flag is not used.

TheUser-Include-Local-LAN AAA attribute has the exact same effect but it is defined only on a RADIUS server and not on the router.

Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Mode configuration allows a gateway to download an IP address (and other network-level configuration) to the client as part of an IKE negotiation. Using this exchange, the gateway gives IP addresses to the IKE client as an "inner" IP address encapsulated under IP Security (IPSec). This method provides a known IP address for the client that can be matched against IPSec policy.

Use the isakmp authorization list command with the client authentication list command, which applies extended authentication (Xauth) for IKE interaction.

When you are authorized and respectively authenticated, the reply from the AAA server contains attributes that are used when and if the mode configuration is executed. However, the method list must be defined first for the authorization.

Use the lifetime command to specify how long an IKE SA exists before expiring.

When IKE begins negotiations, it first agrees upon the security parameters for its own session. The agreed-upon parameters are then referenced by an SA at each peer. The SA is retained by each peer until the lifetime of the SA expires. Before an SA expires, it can be reused by subsequent IKE negotiations, which can save time when new IP Security (IPSec) SAs are set up.

To save setup time for IPSec, configure a longer IKE SA lifetime. However, shorter lifetimes limit the exposure to attackers of this SA. The longer an SA is used, the more encrypted traffic can be gathered by an attacker and possibly used in an attack.


Note When your local peer initiates an IKE negotiation between itself and a remote peer, if the lifetimes are not equal, an IKE policy with the shorter lifetime is selected.

Release 3.4.0

This command was introduced on the Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.


Usage Guidelines

To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper task IDs. For detailed information about user groups and task IDs, see the Configuring AAA Services on Cisco IOS XR Software module of the Cisco IOS XR System Security Configuration Guide.

Save password control allows you to save your Xauth password locally on your PC so that after you have initially entered the password, the Save-Password attribute is pushed from the server to the client.


Note If the Easy VPN client is used, the client Cisco IOS XR device saves the XAUTH password locally and not the PC.


On subsequent authentications, you can activate the password by using the tick box on the software client or by adding the username and password to the Cisco IOS XR hardware client profile. The password setting remains until the Save-Password attribute is removed from the server group profile. After the password has been activated, the username and password are sent automatically to the server during Xauth without your intervention.

The Save-Password option is useful only if your password is static; that is, if it is not a one-time password such as one that is generated by a token.

The Save-Password attribute is configured on a Cisco IOS XR router or in the RADIUS profile.

To configure save password control, use the save-password command.

The following example is an attribute-value (AV) pair for the Save-Password attribute:

ipsec:save-password=1

You must enable the crypto isakmp client configuration group command, which specifies group policy information that has to be defined or changed, before enabling the save-password command.


NoteThe Save-Password attribute is applied either from RADIUS or from a local configuration.

The attribute is applied if it is either received for the group or for the user. The priority flag of the ISAKMP profile is not used for this attribute. The attribute is processed for both group and user.

The attribute overrides any similar group attributes.

User-based attributes are available only if RADIUS is used as the database.

The profile for the identity is determined based on the selected virtual interface.

The virtual interface must be predefined by using the set interface command. Otherwise, the IKE SA cannot be established.

When the local endpoint is the IKE responder, the predefined interface is found according to the peer's identity. When the local endpoint is the IKE initiator, the predefined interface is used to find the appropriate ISAKMP profile. Therefore, a virtual interface cannot be predefined in more than one ISAKMP profile.

When the local endpoint is the IKE initiator, the interface, which is configured, is used to select the correct ISAKMP profile.

Table 7 shows the various states that may be displayed in the output of the show crypto isakmp sa command. When an Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) SA exists, it is most likely in its quiescent state (QM_IDLE). For long exchanges, some MM_xxx states may be observed.

Table 7 Mode States 

State: Main Mode Exchange
Explanation

MM_NO_STATE

The ISAKMP SA has been created, but nothing else has happened yet. It is "larval" at this stage—there is no state.

MM_SA_SETUP

The peers have agreed on parameters for the ISAKMP SA.

MM_KEY_EXCH

The peers have exchanged Diffie-Hellman public keys and have generated a shared secret. The ISAKMP SA remains unauthenticated.

MM_KEY_AUTH

The ISAKMP SA has been authenticated. If the router initiated this exchange, this state makes the transition immediately to QM_IDLE, and a quick mode exchange begins.

State: Aggressive Mode Exchange
Explanation

AG_NO_STATE

The ISAKMP SA has been created but nothing else has happened yet. It is "larval" at this stage—there is no state.

AG_INIT_EXCH

The peers have done the first exchange in aggressive mode, but the SA is not authenticated.

AG_AUTH

The ISAKMP SA has been authenticated. If the router initiated this exchange, this state makes the transition immediately to QM_IDLE, and a quick mode exchange begins.

State: Quick Mode Exchange
Explanation

QM_IDLE

The ISAKMP SA is idle. It remains authenticated with its peer and may be used for subsequent quick mode exchanges. It is in a quiescent state.
