client-access-rule through crl configure Commands


client-access-rule

To configure rules that limit the remote access client types and versions that can connect via IPSec through the security appliance, use the client-access-rule command in group-policy configuration mode. To delete a rule, use the no form of this command.

To delete all rules, use the no client-access-rule command with only the priority argument. This deletes all configured rules, including a null rule created by issuing the client-access-rule none command.

When there are no client access rules, users inherit any rules that exist in the default group policy. To prevent users from inheriting client access rules, use the client-access-rule none command. The result of doing so is that all client types and versions can connect.

client-access-rule priority {permit | deny} type type version version | none

no client-access-rule priority [{permit | deny} type type version version]

Syntax Description

deny

Denies connections for devices of a particular type and/or version.

none

Allows no client access rules. Sets client-access-rule to a null value, thereby allowing no restriction. Prevents inheriting a value from a default or specified group policy.

permit

Permits connections for devices of a particular type and/or version.

priority

Determines the priority of the rule. The rule with the lowest integer has the highest priority. Therefore, the rule with the lowest integer that matches a client type and/or version is the rule that applies. If a lower priority rule contradicts, the security appliance ignores it.

type type

Identifies device types via free-form strings, for example VPN 3002. A string must match exactly its appearance in the show vpn-sessiondb remote display, except that you can use the * character as a wildcard.

version version

Identifies the device version via free-form strings, for example 7.0(1). A string must match exactly its appearance in the show vpn-sessiondb remote display, except that you can use the * character as a wildcard.


Defaults

By default, there are no access rules.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Construct rules according to these caveats:

If you do not define any rules, the security appliance permits all connection types.

When a client matches none of the rules, the security appliance denies the connection. This means that if you define a deny rule, you must also define at least one permit rule, or the security appliance denies all connections.

For both software and hardware clients, type and version must match exactly their appearance in the show vpn-sessiondb remote display.

The * character is a wildcard, which you can use multiple times in each rule. For example, client-access-rule 3 deny type * version 3.* creates a priority 3 client access rule that denies all client types running release versions 3.x software.

You can construct a maximum of 25 rules per group policy.

There is a limit of 255 characters for an entire set of rules.

You can use n/a for clients that do not send client type and/or version.

Examples

The following example shows how to create client access rules for the group policy named FirstGroup. These rules permit VPN Clients running software version 4.1, while denying all VPN 3002 hardware clients:

hostname(config)# group-policy FirstGroup attributes
hostname(config-group-policy)# client-access-rule 1 d t VPN3002 v *
hostname(config-group-policy)# client-access-rule 2 p * v 4.1

client-firewall

To set personal firewall policies that the security appliance pushes to the VPN client during IKE tunnel negotiation, use the client-firewall command in group-policy configuration mode. To delete a firewall policy, use the no form of this command.

To delete all firewall policies, use the no client-firewall command without arguments. This deletes all configured firewall policies, including a null policy created by issuing the client-firewall none command.

When there are no firewall policies, users inherit any that exist in the default or other group policy. To prevent users from inheriting such firewall policies, use the client-firewall none command.

client-update

To issue a client-update for all active remote VPN software and hardware clients and security appliances configured as Auto Update clients, on all tunnel-groups or for a particular tunnel group, use the client-update command in privileged EXEC mode.

To configure and change client-update parameters at the global level, including VPN software and hardware clients and security appliances configured as Auto Update clients, use the client-update command in global configuration mode.

To configure and change client-update tunnel-group IPSec-attributes parameters for VPN software and hardware clients, use the client-update command in tunnel-group ipsec-attributes configuration mode.

If the client is already running a software version on the list of revision numbers, it does not need to update its software. If the client is not running a software version on the list, it should update.

To disable a client update, use the no form of this command.

Global configuration mode command:

client-update {enable | component {asdm | image} | device-id dev_string |
family family_name | type type} url url-string rev-nums rev-nums}

Tunnel-group ipsec-attributes configuration


Command History

Modification

7.0(1)

This command was introduced.

7.1(1)

Added tunnel-group ipsec-attributes configuration mode.

7.2(1)

Added the component, device-id, and family keywords and their arguments to support the security appliance configured as an Auto Update server.


Usage Guidelines

In tunnel-group ipsec-attributes configuration mode, you can apply this attribute only to the IPSec remote-access tunnel-group type.

The client-update command lets you enable the update; specify the types and revision numbers of clients to which the update applies; provide a URL or IP address from which to get the update; and, in the case of Windows clients, optionally notify users that they should update their VPN client version. For Windows clients, you can provide a mechanism for users to accomplish that update. For VPN 3002 Hardware Client users, the update occurs automatically, with no notification. When the client type is another security appliance, this security appliance acts as an Auto Update server.

To configure the client-update mechanism, do the following steps:


Step 1 In global configuration mode, enable client update by entering the command:

hostname(config)# client-update enable
hostname(config)#

Step 2 In global configuration mode, configure the parameters for the client update that you want to apply to all clients of a particular type. That is, specify the type of client and the URL or IP address from which to get the updated image. For Auto Update clients, specify the software component—ASDM or boot image. In addition, you must specify a revision number. If the user's client revision number matches one of the specified revision numbers, there is no need to update the client. This command configures the client-update parameters for all clients of the specified type across the entire security appliance. For example:

hostname(config)# client-update type windows url https://support/updates/ rev-nums 4.6.1
hostname(config)#

See the Examples section for an illustration of configuring a tunnel group for a VPN 3002 hardware client.


Note For all Windows clients and Auto Update clients, you must use the protocol "http://" or "https://" as the prefix for the URL. For the VPN3002 Hardware Client, you must specify protocol "tftp://" instead.


Alternatively, for Windows clients and VPN3002 Hardware Clients, you can configure client update just for individual tunnel-groups, rather than for all clients of a particular type. (See Step 3.)


Note You can have the browser automatically start an application by including the application name at the end of the URL; for example: https://support/updates/vpnclient.exe.


Step 3 After you have enabled client update, you can define a set of client-update parameters for a particular ipsec-ra tunnel group. To do this, in tunnel-group ipsec-attributes mode, specify the tunnel-group name and its type, and the URL or IP address from which to get the updated image. In addition, you must specify a revision number. If the user's client revision number matches one of the specified revision numbers, there is no need to update the client; for example, to issue a client update for all Windows clients:

hostname(config)# tunnel-group remotegrp type ipsec-ra
hostname(config)# tunnel-group remotegrp ipsec-attributes
hostname(config-tunnel-ipsec)# client-update type windows url https://support/updates/ 
rev-nums 4.6.1
hostname(config-tunnel-ipsec)# 

See the Examples section for an illustration of configuring a tunnel group for a VPN 3002 hardware client. VPN 3002 clients update without user intervention, and users receive no notification message.

Step 4 Optionally, you can send a notice to active users with outdated Windows clients that their VPN client needs updating. For these users, a pop-up window appears, offering the opportunity to launch a browser and download the updated software from the site specified in the URL. The only part of this message that you can configure is the URL. (See Step 2 or 3.) Users who are not active get a notification message the next time they log on. You can send this notice to all active clients on all tunnel groups, or you can send it to clients on a particular tunnel group. For example, to notify all active clients on all tunnel groups, you would enter the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

hostname# client-update all
hostname# 

If the user's client revision number matches one of the specified revision numbers, there is no need to update the client, and users receive no notification message. VPN 3002 clients update without user intervention and users receive no notification message.



Note If you specify the client-update type as windows (specifying all Windows-based platforms) and later want to enter a client-update type of win9x or winnt for the same entity, you must first remove the windows client type with the no form of the command, then use new client-update commands to specify the new client types.


Examples

The following example, entered in global configuration mode, enables client update for all active remote clients on all tunnel groups:

hostname(config)# client-update enable
hostname# 

The following example applies only to Windows (win9x, winnt, or windows). Entered in global configuration mode, it configures client update parameters for all Windows-based clients. It designates the revision number, 4.7 and the URL for retrieving the update, which is https://support/updates.

hostname(config)# client-update type windows url https://support/updates/ rev-nums 4.7
hostname(config)# 

The following example applies only to VPN 3002 Hardware Clients. Entered in tunnel-group ipsec-attributes configuration mode, it configures client update parameters for the IPSec remote-access tunnel-group "salesgrp". It designates the revision number, 4.7 and uses the TFTP protocol for retrieving the updated software from the site with the IP address 192.168.1.1:

hostname(config)# tunnel-group salesgrp type ipsec-ra
hostname(config)# tunnel-group salesgrp ipsec-attributes
hostname(config-tunnel-ipsec)# client-update type vpn3002 url tftp:192.168.1.1 rev-nums 
4.7
hostname(config-tunnel-ipsec)# 

The following example shows how to issue a client update for clients that are Cisco 5520 Adaptive Security Appliances configured as Auto Update clients:

hostname(config)# client-update type asa5520 component asdm url 
http://192.168.1.114/aus/asdm501.bin rev-nums 7.2(1)

The following example, entered in privileged EXEC mode, sends a client-update notification to all connected remote clients in the tunnel group named "remotegrp" that need to update their client software. Clients in other groups do not get an update notification:

hostname# client-update remotegrp
hostname#

clock set

To manually set the clock on the security appliance, use the clock set command in privileged EXEC mode.

clock set hh:mm:ss {month day | day month} year

Syntax Description

day

Sets the day of the month, from 1 to 31. You can enter the day and month as april 1 or as 1 april, for example, depending on your standard date format.

hh:mm:ss

Sets the hour, minutes, and seconds in 24-hour time. For example, set 20:54:00 for 8:54 pm.

month

Sets the month. Depending on your standard date format, you can enter the day and month as april 1 or as 1 april.

Usage Guidelines

If you have not entered any clock configuration commands, the default time zone for the clock set command is UTC. If you change the time zone after you enter the clock set command using the clock timezone command, the time automatically adjusts to the new time zone. However, if you enter the clock set command after you establish the time zone with the clock timezone command, then enter the time appropriate for the new time zone and not for UTC. Similarly, if you enter the clock summer-time command after the clock set command, the time adjusts for daylight saving. If you enter the clock set command after the clock summer-time command, enter the correct time for daylight saving.

This command sets the time in the hardware chip, and does not save the time in the configuration file. This time endures reboots. Unlike the other clock commands, this command is a privileged EXEC command. To reset the clock, you need to set a new time for the clock set command.

Examples

The following example sets the time zone to MST, the daylight saving time to the default period in the U.S., and the current time for MDT to 1:15 p.m. on July 27, 2004:

hostname(config)# clock timezone MST -7
hostname(config)# clock summer-time MDT recurring
hostname(config)# exit
hostname# clock set 13:15:0 jul 27 2004
hostname# show clock
13:15:00.652 MDT Tue Jul 27 2004

The following example sets the clock to 8:15 on July 27, 2004 in the UTC time zone, and then sets the time zone to MST and the daylight saving time to the default period in the U.S. The end time (1:15 in MDT) is the same as the previous example.

hostname# clock set 20:15:0 jul 27 2004
hostname# configure terminal
hostname(config)# clock timezone MST -7
hostname(config)# clock summer-time MDT recurring
hostname# show clock
13:15:00.652 MDT Tue Jul 27 2004

clock summer-time

To set the date range for daylight saving time for the display of the security appliance time, use the clock summer-time command in global configuration mode. To disable the daylight saving time dates, use the no form of this command.

clock summer-time zone recurring [week weekday month hh:mm week weekday month hh:mm] [offset]

no clock summer-time [zone recurring [week weekday month hh:mm week weekday month hh:mm] [offset]]

clock summer-time zone date {day month | month day} year hh:mm {day month | month day} year hh:mm [offset]

no clock summer-time [zone date {day month | month day} year hh:mm {day month | month day} year hh:mm [offset]]

Syntax Description

date

Specifies the start and end dates for daylight saving time as a specific date in a specific year. If you use this keyword, you need to reset the dates every year.

day

Sets the day of the month, from 1 to 31. You can enter the day and month as April 1 or as 1 April, for example, depending on your standard date format.

hh:mm

Sets the hour and minutes in 24-hour time.

month

Sets the month as a string. For the date command, you can enter the day and month as April 1 or as 1 April, for example, depending on your standard date format.

offset

(Optional) Sets the number of minutes to change the time for daylight saving time. By default, the value is 60 minutes.

recurring

Specifies the start and end dates for daylight saving time, in the form of a day and time of the month, and not a specific date in a year. This keyword lets you set a recurring date range that you do not need to alter yearly. If you do not specify any dates, the security appliance uses the default date range for the United States: 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in October.

week

(Optional) Specifies the week of the month as an integer between 1 and 4 or as the words first or last. For example, if the day might fall in the partial fifth week, then specify last.

weekday

(Optional) Specifies the day of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and so on.

year

Sets the year using four digits, for example, 2004. The year range is 1993 to 2035.

zone

Specifies the time zone as a string, for example, PDT for Pacific Daylight Time. When the security appliance shows the daylight saving time according to the date range you set with this command, the time zone changes to the value you set here. See the clock timezone to set the base time zone to a zone other than UTC.


Defaults

The default offset is 60 minutes.

The default recurring date range is from 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in April to 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in October.

Usage Guidelines

For the Southern Hemisphere, the security appliance accepts the start month to be later in the year than the end month, for example, from October to March.

Examples

The following example sets the daylight saving date range for Australia:

hostname(config)# clock summer-time PDT recurring last Sunday October 2:00 last Sunday 
March 2:00

Some countries start daylight saving on a specific date. In the following example, daylight saving time is configured to start on April 1, 2004, at 3 a.m. and end on October 1, 2004, at 4 a.m.

hostname(config)# clock summer-time UTC date 1 April 2004 3:00 1 October 2004 4:00

cluster encryption

To enable encryption for messages exchanged on the virtual load-balancing cluster, use the cluster encryption command in VPN load-balancing mode. To disable encryption, use the no form of this command.

cluster encryption

no cluster encryption


Note VPN load balancing requires an active 3DES/AES license. The security appliance checks for the existence of this crypto license before enabling load balancing. If it does not detect an active 3DES or AES license, the security appliance prevents the enabling of load balancing and also prevents internal configuration of 3DES by the load balancing system unless the license permits this usage.


Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or variables.

Defaults

Encryption is disabled by default.

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command turns encryption on or off for messages exchanged on the virtual load-balancing cluster.

Before configuring the cluster encryption command, you must have first used the vpn load-balancing command to enter VPN load-balancing mode. You must also use the cluster key command to configure the cluster shared-secret key before enabling cluster encryption.


Note When using encryption, you must first configure the command isakmp enable inside, where inside designates the load-balancing inside interface. If isakmp is not enabled on the load-balancing inside interface, you will get an error message when you try to configure cluster encryption.


Examples

The following is an example of a VPN load-balancing command sequence that includes a cluster encryption command that enables encryption for the virtual load-balancing cluster:

hostname(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 0/1
hostname(config-if)# ip address 209.165.202.159 255.255.255.0
