IPSec Configuration


IP Security Protocol (IPSec) is a network layer protocol that provides a process for encrypting and authenticating IP packets sent between VPN peers to VPN devices configured on a tunnel. Using IPSec, you can create an encrypted or authenticated communication path between two endpoints, allowing IP traffic to safely cross public or untrusted networks.

IPSec is a framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity, and data origin authentication between peers that are connected over unprotected networks, such as the Internet. IPSec provides security services at the IP layer. It uses IKE to authenticate IPSec peers, negotiate IPSec keys, and automatically negotiate IPSec security associations.

With CVDM-VPNSM, you can do the following:

Add and edit crypto maps.

Configure IPSec rules, transform sets, and IKE policies to be applied to traffic on your network.

Edit IPSec global settings and apply them to all peers on your network.

You can view the IPSec information configured on the device. Click Setup at the top of the window and click IPSec from the left-most pane to display the main IPSec page (see Figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1 IPSec Page

Configuring Crypto Maps

Crypto maps filter and classify traffic to be protected and define the policy applied to that traffic. IPSec crypto maps define:

Traffic that should be protected using IPSec rules.

IPSec peers to which the protected traffic can be forwarded; these are the peers with which a security association (SA) can be established.

Transform sets that can be used with the protected traffic.

A crypto map comprises crypto map entries (for more information about crypto map entries, see Adding Crypto Map Entries). You apply crypto maps to interfaces against which IP traffic is evaluated. Only one crypto map can be applied to an interface.

You can filter Crypto Maps folder objects in the selector on this page by type of crypto map (static or dynamic) or by the type of VPN connection (site-to-site VPNs or remote access VPNs) on which the crypto maps are configured.

To view information about all the crypto maps configured on your device, click Setup at the top of the window, click IPSec from the left-most pane, and select Crypto Maps from the selector. The main Crypto Maps page is displayed, providing information about all crypto maps configured on the device. You can also do the following:

To display selector objects for crypto map type, select Group by Type from the list in the selector. The static and dynamic objects appear in the Crypto Maps folder.

The Crypto Maps > Static page displays information about static crypto maps. You can only add and edit static crypto maps and add dynamic crypto map references from this page. The Crypto Maps > Dynamic page displays information about dynamic crypto maps; you can only add and edit dynamic crypto maps from this page. Dynamic crypto maps are recommended for networks in which the peers are not always predetermined.

To display selector objects for each connection type, select Group by Connection from the list in the selector. The site-to-site and remote access objects appear in the Crypto Maps folder.

The Crypto Maps > Site to Site page displays information about the crypto maps configured on site-to-site VPN connections; the Crypto Maps > Remote Access page displays information about the crypto maps configured on remote access VPN connections. You cannot add or edit dynamic crypto maps from these pages.

The crypto map pages provide the following information.

Authentication provides the method for identifying users, including username and password, challenge and response, messaging support, and, depending on the security protocol selected, encryption.

A method is a configured server group used for authenticating users. You can configure up to four methods and specify the order in which you want the device to query them.

Step 2 From the Crypto Map Sets table, select the map you want to delete.

Step 3 Click Delete.


Adding Crypto Map Entries

Crypto map entries reference specific transform sets and apply them to the traffic flow. Crypto map entries created for IPSec pull together the various parts used to set up IPSec SAs. Crypto map entries with the same crypto map name but different sequence numbers are grouped together and are applied to an interface against which all traffic passing through the interface is evaluated. The crypto map entries on the peers must be configured with compatible information for that information to be exchanged between peers.

You can add and edit both static and dynamic crypto map entries. For a static crypto map entry, you configure all parameters. A dynamic crypto map entry is a crypto map entry that does not have all its parameters configured. Its missing parameters are dynamically configured to match a peer's requirements, allowing peers to exchange traffic with the VPN device even if the VPN device does not have a crypto map entry configured to meet the requirements of the peer.

Security Association pane

Lifetime (kilobytes)

Value, in kilobytes, to determine how long the SA between VPN devices will exist before it expires. When the data that flows through the IPSec tunnel reaches this value, the SA expires, and the IPSec tunnel between the devices disappears.

The default value is 4608000. The range of values you can use is 2560 to 536870912.

Note You can also apply this value globally. See Configuring Global Settings for more information.

Lifetime (seconds)

Value, in seconds, to determine how long the SA between VPN devices will exist before it expires.

The default value is 3600. The range of values you can use is 120 to 864000.

Idle time (seconds) check box and field

Time, in seconds, that the idle timer will allow an inactive peer to maintain the SA. The range of values you can use is 60 to 86400.

Configuring IKE Settings

Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a protocol used to authenticate IPSec peers, negotiate and distribute encryption keys, and establish IPSec security associations. An IKE policy defines a combination of security parameters used during IKE negotiation. When the IKE negotiation begins, the peer that initiates the negotiation sends all its IKE policies to the remote peer. The remote peer looks for a policy match by comparing its own policies against the policies received from the initiating peers.

IKE preshared keys allow for one or more peers to use individual shared secrets to authenticate encrypted tunnels to a gateway. The same preshared key must be set on the remote peer and any other participating peers.

Click Setup at the top of the window, click IPSec from the left-most pane, and select IKE Settings from the selector to display the main IKE Policies page. This page displays a table that contains the following information:

GUI Element

Encryption column

Encryption algorithm for the policy.

Hash column

Hash algorithm for the policy.

D-H Group column

Diffie-Hellman (D-H) group for the policy. Value can be group1, group2, or group5.

A D-H key is an algorithm that allows two VPN peers who have agreed to policies to exchange information over untrusted and unencrypted networks and develop a shared key.

Authentication column

Authentication list used for the policy.

Lifetime column

Value, in seconds, that the IKE security association (SA) will exist before it expires.

IKE Preshared Keys table

Peer IP Address column

IP address of the peer for which the preshared key is configured.

Subnet Mask column

Subnet mask address of the peer for which the preshared key is configured.

Preshared Key column

Preshared key configured for the peer. The text of the key is not displayed; an asterisk (*) denotes a character in the key.

XAuth column

Indicates whether extended authentication (XAuth) is enabled for the peer.
