Easy VPN Server
First Published: February 25, 2002
Last Updated: June 03, 2010
The Easy VPN Server feature allows a remote end user to communicate using IP Security (IPsec) with any Cisco IOS Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway. Centrally managed IPsec policies are "pushed" to the client device by the server, minimizing configuration by the end user.

Cisco Secure VPN Client 1.x Restrictions
When used with this feature, the Cisco Secure VPN Client 1.x has the following restrictions:
•It does not support dead peer detection (DPD) or any other keepalive scheme.
•It does not support initial contact.
This feature cannot use per-group attribute policy profiles such as IP addresses, and Domain Name Service (DNS). Thus, customers must continue to use existing, globally defined parameters for IP address assignment, Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) and DNS, and preshared keys.
Multicast and Static NAT
Multicast and static NAT are supported only for Easy VPN servers using dynamic virtual tunnel interfaces (DVTIs).
Virtual IPsec Interface Restrictions
The Virtual IPsec Interface Support feature works only with a Cisco software VPN Client that is version 4.x or later, and an Easy VPN remote device that is configured to use a virtual interface.
cTCP Restrictions
•If a port is being used for Cisco Tunnel Control Protocol (cTCP), it cannot be used for other applications.
•cTCP can be used on only ten ports at a time.
•cTCP is supported on only Cisco IOS Easy VPN servers.
•If a cTCP connection is set up on a port, cTCP cannot be disabled on that port because doing so causes the existing connection to stop receiving traffic.
•High Availability of cTCP is not currently supported on the Easy VPN server.
Universal Client Mode Using DHCP
•The Easy VPN Server feature does not support universal client mode using DHCP.

How It Works
When the client initiates a connection with a Cisco IOS VPN device, the "conversation" that occurs between the peers consists of device authentication via Internet Key Exchange (IKE), followed by user authentication using IKE Extended Authentication (Xauth), VPN policy push (using Mode Configuration), and IPsec security association (SA) creation. An overview of this process is as follows:
•The client initiates IKE Phase 1 via aggressive mode (AM) if a preshared key is to be used for authentication; the client initiates main mode (MM) if digital certificates are used. If the client identifies itself with a preshared key, the accompanying group name entered in the configuration GUI (ID_KEY_ID) is used to identify the group profile associated with this client. If digital certificates are used, the organizational unit (OU) field of a distinguished name (DN) is used to identify the group profile.
Note Because the client may be configured for preshared key authentication, which initiates IKE AM, it is recommended that the administrator change the identity of the Cisco IOS VPN device via the crypto isakmp identity hostname command. This will not affect certificate authentication via IKE MM.
•The client attempts to establish an IKE SA between its public IP address and the public IP address of the Cisco IOS VPN device. To reduce the amount of manual configuration on the client, every combination of encryption and hash algorithms, in addition to authentication methods and D-H group sizes, is proposed.
•Depending on its IKE policy configuration, the Cisco IOS VPN device will determine which proposal is acceptable to continue negotiating Phase 1.
Tip IKE policy is global for the Cisco IOS VPN device and can consist of several proposals. In the case of multiple proposals, the Cisco IOS VPN device will use the first match, so you should always list your most secure policies first.
Note Device authentication ends and user authentication begins at this point.
•After the IKE SA is successfully established, and if the Cisco IOS VPN device is configured for Xauth, the client waits for a "username/password" challenge and then responds to the challenge of the peer. The information that is entered is checked against authentication entities using authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) protocols such as RADIUS and TACACS+. Token cards may also be used via AAA proxy. During Xauth, it is also possible for a user-specific attribute to be retrieved if the credentials of that user are validated via RADIUS.
Note VPN devices that are configured to handle remote clients should always be configured to enforce user authentication.
•If the Cisco IOS VPN device indicates that authentication was successful, the client requests further configuration parameters from the peer. The remaining system parameters (for example, IP address, DNS, and split tunnel attributes) are pushed to the client at this time using Mode Configuration.
Note The IP address pool and group preshared key (if Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman [RSA] signatures are not being used) are the only required parameter in a group profile, all other parameters are optional.
•After each client is assigned an internal IP address via Mode Configuration, it is important that the Cisco IOS VPN device knows how to route packets through the appropriate VPN tunnel. Reverse route injection (RRI) will ensure that a static route is created on the Cisco IOS VPN device for each client internal IP address.
Note It is recommended that you enable RRI on the crypto map (static or dynamic) for the support of VPN clients unless the crypto map is being applied to a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel that is already being used to distribute routing information.
•After the configuration parameters have been successfully received by the client, IKE quick mode is initiated to negotiate IPsec SA establishment.
•After IPsec SAs are created, the connection is complete.
RADIUS Support for Group Profiles
Group policy information is stored in a profile that can be defined locally in the router configuration or on a RADIUS server that is accessible by the Cisco IOS VPN device. If RADIUS is used, you must configure access to the server and allow the Cisco IOS VPN device to send requests to the server.
To define group policy attributes for RADIUS, you must do the following task on your RADIUS server:
•Define a user that has a name equal to the group name as defined in the client graphical user interface (GUI). For example, if users will be connecting to the Cisco IOS VPN device using the group name "sales," you will need a user whose name is "sales." The password for this user is "cisco," which is a special identifier that is used by the router for RADIUS purposes. The username must then be made a member of a group in which the correct policy is defined. For simplicity, it is recommended that the group name be the same as the username.
For a Cisco Secure Access Control Server
If you are using a Cisco Secure access control server (ACS), you may configure your remote access VPN group profiles on this server. To perform this task, you must ensure that Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RADIUS attributes are selected for group configuration as shown in Figure 1. (This figure also shows the compulsory attributes required for a remote access VPN group.) All values must be entered except the Tunnel-Password attribute, which is actually the preshared key for IKE purposes; if digital certificates are preferred, this attribute may be omitted.
Figure 1 IETF RADIUS Attributes Selection for Group Configuration
In addition to the compulsory attributes shown in Figure 1, other values can be entered that represent the group policy that is pushed to the remote client via Mode Configuration. Figure 2 shows an example of a group policy. All attributes are optional except the addr-pool, key-exchange=preshared-key, and key-exchange=ike attributes. The values of the attributes are the same as the setting that is used if the policy is defined locally on the router rather than in a RADIUS server. (These values are explained in the "Defining Group Policy Information for Mode Configuration Push" section.)
Figure 2 CiscoSecure ACS Group Policy Setup
After the group profile is created, a user who is a member of the group should be added. (Remember that the username that is defined maps to the group name as defined on the remote client, and the password defined for the username in the RADIUS database must be "cisco.") If digital certificates are the preferred method of IKE authentication, the username should reflect the OU field in the certificate presented by the remote client.
For All Other RADIUS Servers
Ensure that your RADIUS server allows you to define attribute-value (AV) pairs. (For an example, see the "Configuring Cisco IOS for Easy VPN Server: Example" section).
Note If digital certificates are used, the username defined in RADIUS must be equal to the OU field of the DN of the certificate of the client.
RADIUS Support for User Profiles
Attributes may also be applied on a per-user basis. If you apply attributes on a per-user basis, you can override a group attribute value with an individual user attribute. The attributes are retrieved at the time that user authentication via Xauth occurs. The attributes are then combined with group attributes and applied during Mode Configuration.
User-based attributes are available only if RADIUS is being used for user authentication.
To define user policy attributes for RADIUS, you must do the following task on your RADIUS server:
•Define a user or add attributes to the existing profile of a user in your RADIUS database. The password for the user will be used during Xauth user authentication, or you may proxy to a third-party server, such as a token card server.
Figure 3 shows how CiscoSecure ACS may be used for user authentication and for the assignment of a Framed-IP-Address attribute that may be pushed to the client. The presence of this attribute means that the local address pool defined for the group to which that user belongs will be overridden.
Figure 3 CiscoSecure ACS User Profile Setup
For All Other RADIUS Servers
Ensure that your RADIUS server allows you to define AV pairs. (For an example, see Configuring Cisco IOS for Easy VPN Server: Example.)

Mode Configuration Version 6 Support
Mode Configuration version 6 is now supported for more attributes (as described in an IETF draft submission).
Xauth Version 6 Support
Cisco IOS has been enhanced to support version 6 of Xauth. Xauth for user authentication is based on an IETF draft submission.
IKE DPD
The client implements a new keepalives scheme—IKE DPD.
DPD allows two IPsec peers to determine whether the other is still "alive" during the lifetime of a VPN connection. DPD is useful because a host may reboot, or the dialup link of a remote user may disconnect without notifying the peer that the VPN connection has gone away. When an IPsec host determines that a VPN connection no longer exists, the host can notify a user, attempt to switch to another IPsec host, or clean up valuable resources that were allocated for the peer that no longer exists.
A Cisco IOS VPN device can be configured to send and reply to DPD messages. DPD messages are sent if no other traffic is being passed through the VPN tunnel. If a configured amount of time has lapsed since the last inbound data was received, DPD will send a message ("DPD R-U-THERE") the next time it sends outbound IPsec data to the peer. DPD messages are unidirectional and are automatically sent by Cisco VPN clients. DPD must be configured on the router only if the router wishes to send DPD messages to the VPN client to determine the health of the client.
Split Tunneling Control
Remote clients can support split tunneling, which enables a client to have intranet and Internet access at the same time. If split tunneling is not configured, the client will direct all traffic through the tunnel, even traffic destined for the Internet.
Initial Contact
If a client is suddenly disconnected, the gateway may not be notified. Consequently, removal of connection information (IKE and IPsec SAs) for that client will not immediately occur. Thus, if the client attempts to reconnect to the gateway again, the gateway will refuse the connection because the previous connection information is still valid.
To avoid such a scenario, a new capability called initial contact has been introduced; it is supported by all Cisco VPN products. If a client or router is connecting to another Cisco gateway for the first time, an initial contact message is sent that tells the receiver to ignore and delete any old connection information that has been maintained for that newly connecting peer. Initial contact ensures that connection attempts are not refused because of SA synchronization problems, which are often identified via invalid security parameter index (SPI) messages and which require devices to have their connections cleared.
Group-Based Policy Control
Policy attributes such as IP addresses, DNS, and split tunnel access can be provided on a per-group or per-user basis.
User-Based Policy Control
Attributes may also be applied on a per-user basis. You can override a group attribute value with an individual user attribute. The attributes are retrieved at the time that user authentication via Xauth occurs. They are then combined with group attributes and applied during Mode Configuration.
From Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)T forward, attributes can be applied on a per-user basis after the user has been authenticated. These attributes can override any similar group attributes. User-based attributes are available only if RADIUS is used as the database.
Framed-IP-Address
To select the Framed-IP-Address attribute for CiscoSecure for NT, do the following: Under the user profile, choose the "use this IP address" option under addressing and manually enter the address. (You should check the method of configuring a framed IP address with your own RADIUS server because this procedure will vary.)
Note If a framed IP address is present, and there is also a local pool address configured for the group that the user belongs to, the framed IP address will override the local pool setting.
DHCP Client Proxy
Easy VPN servers currently assign an IP address to a remote device using either a local pool that is configured on the router or the framed IP address attribute that is defined in RADIUS. Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T, the DHCP Client Proxy feature provides the option of configuring an Easy VPN server to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. The IP address is pushed to the remote device using mode configuration.
Note This feature does not include functionality for the DHCP server to push the DNS, WINS server, or domain name to the remote client.
To configure DHCP Client Proxy, see the "Configuring an Easy VPN Server to Obtain an IP Address from a DHCP Server" section.
Benefits of DHCP Client Proxy
•The functionality provided with this feature helps in the creation of DDNS (dynamic Domain Name System) entries when a DNS server exists in conjunction with the DHCP server.
•The user is not restricted to IP address pools.
User-Save-Password
As per the group description, the User-Save-Password attribute can be received in addition to the group variant (Save-Password), but if it is received, it will override the value asserted by the group.
The following is an output example of a RADIUS AV pair for the User-Save-Password attribute:
ipsec:user-save-password=1
User-Include-Local-LAN
As per the group description, the User-Include-Local-LAN attribute can be received in addition to the group variant (Include-Local-LAN), but if it is received, it will override the value asserted by the group.
The following is an output example of a RADIUS AV pair for the User-Include-Local LAN attribute:
ipsec:user-include-local-lan=1
User-VPN-Group
The User-VPN-Group attribute is a replacement for the Group-Lock attribute. It allows support for both preshared key and RSA signature authentication mechanisms such as certificates.
If you need to check that the group a user is attempting to connect to is indeed the group the user belongs to, use the User-VPN-Group attribute. The administrator sets this attribute to a string, which is the group that the user belongs to. The group the user belongs to is matched against the VPN group as defined by group name (ID_KEY_ID) for preshared keys or by the OU field of a certificate. If the groups do not match, the client connection is terminated.
This feature works only with AAA RADIUS. Local Xauth authentication must still use the Group-Lock attribute.
The following is an output example of a RADIUS AV pair for the Use-VPN-Group attribute:
ipsec:user-vpn-group=cisco
Group-Lock
If you are using preshared keys (no certificates or other RSA signature authentication mechanisms) with RADIUS or local AAA, you can continue to use the Group-Lock attribute. If you are using preshared keys (no certificates or other RSA signature authentication mechanisms) with RADIUS only, you can either continue to use the Group-Lock attribute or you can use the new User-VPN-Group attribute.
How It works
The group lock feature, introduced in Cisco IOS 12.2(13)T, allows you to perform an extra authentication check during Xauth. With this feature enabled, the user must enter a username, group name, and user password during Xauth to authenticate. The username and group name can be entered in any of the following formats: "username/group name," "username\group name," "username%group name," or "username group name." The group name entered during Xauth is compared by the Server with the group name sent for preshared key device authentication. If they do not match, the server denies the connection. To enable this feature, use the group-lock command for the group.
Cisco IOS software does not strip the @group from the Xauth username, so the username user@group must exist in the local or external AAA database pointed to by the ISAKMP profile selected at Phase 1 (machine group authentication).
Caution
Do not use the Group-Lock attribute if you are using RSA signature authentication mechanisms such as certificates. Use the
User-VPN-Group attribute instead. The User-VPN-Group attribute is recommended regardless of whether preshared keys or RSA signature is used as the method of authentication when an external AAA database is used.
Session Monitoring for VPN Group Access
It is possible to mimic the functionality provided by some RADIUS servers for limiting the maximum number of connections to a specific server group and also for limiting the number of simultaneous logins for users in that group. After user-defined thresholds are defined in each VPN group, connections will be denied until counts drop below these thresholds.
If you use a RADIUS server, such as CiscoSecure ACS, it is recommended that you enable this session control on the RADIUS server if the functionality is provided. In this way, usage can be controlled across a number of servers by one central repository. When enabling this feature on the router itself, only connections to groups on that specific device are monitored. Load-sharing scenarios are not accurately accounted for.
To configure session monitoring using command-line interface (CLI), use the crypto isakmp client configuration group command and the max-users and max-logins subcommands.
The following is an output example of RADIUS AV pairs that have been added to the relevant group:
Virtual IPsec Interface Support on a Server
Virtual IPsec Interface Support on a Server allows you to selectively send traffic to different Easy VPN concentrators (servers) as well as to the Internet.
Before Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)T, at the tunnel-up/tunnel-down transition, attributes that were pushed during the mode configuration had to be parsed and applied. When such attributes resulted in the configurations being applied on the interface, the existing configuration had to be overridden.
With the Virtual IPsec Interface Support feature, the tunnel-up configuration can be applied to separate interfaces, making it easier to support separate features at tunnel-up. Features that are applied to the traffic going into the tunnel can be separate from the features that are applied to traffic that is not going through the tunnel (for example, split-tunnel traffic and traffic leaving the device when the tunnel is not up). When the Easy VPN negotiation is successful, the line protocol state of the virtual-access interface gets changed to up. When the Easy VPN tunnel goes down because the SA expires or is deleted, the line protocol state of the virtual-access interfaces changes to down.
Note This feature does not support multicast.
For more information about this feature, see the "Cisco Easy VPN Remote" module in the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide: Secure Connectivity. (This feature is configured on the Easy VPN remote device.)
For information about the IPsec Virtual Tunnel Interface feature, see the "IPsec Virtual Tunnel Interface" module in the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide: Secure Connectivity.
Virtual Tunnel Interface Per-User Attribute Support
Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T, Virtual Tunnel Interface provides per-user attribute support for Easy VPN servers.
For more information about this feature, see the "IPsec Virtual Tunnel Interface" module in the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide: Secure Connectivity.
Banner, Auto-Update, and Browser Proxy
The following features provide support for attributes that aid in the management of the Cisco Easy VPN remote device.
Banner
An Easy VPN server can be configured to push the banner to the Easy VPN remote device. A banner is needed for the web-based activation feature. The banner is displayed when the Easy VPN tunnel is up on the Easy VPN remote console or as a HTML page in the case of web-based activation.
Auto-Update
An Easy VPN server can be configured to provide an automated mechanism for software and firmware upgrades on an Easy VPN remote device.
Browser Proxy
An Easy VPN server can be configured so that an Easy VPN remote device can access resources on the corporate network. Using this feature, the user does not have to manually modify the proxy settings of his or her web browser when connecting to the corporate network using Cisco IOS VPN Client or manually revert the proxy settings upon disconnecting.
Configuration Management Enhancements
Pushing a Configuration URL Through a Mode-Configuration Exchange
When remote devices connect to a corporate gateway for creating an IPsec VPN tunnel, some policy and configuration information has to be applied to the remote device when the VPN tunnel is active to allow the remote device to become a part of the corporate VPN.
The Pushing a Configuration URL Through a Mode-Configuration Exchange feature provides for a mode-configuration attribute that "pushes" a URL from the concentrator (server) to the Cisco IOS Easy VPN remote device. The URL contains the configuration information that the remote device has to download and apply to the running configuration, and it contains the Cisco IOS CLI listing. (For more information about a Cisco IOS CLI listing, see Cisco IOS documentation for the configuration url command.) The CLI for this feature is configured on the concentrator.
The configuration that is pushed to the remote device is persistent by default. That is, the configuration is applied when the IPsec tunnel is "up," but it is not withdrawn when the IPsec tunnel goes "down." However, it is possible to write a section of configuration that is transient in nature, in which case the configuration of the section is reverted when the tunnel is disconnected.
There are no restrictions on where the configuration distribution server is physically located. However, it is recommended that a secure protocol such as HTTPS (Secure HTTP) be used to retrieve the configuration. The configuration server can be located in the corporate network, so because the transfer happens through the IPsec tunnel, insecure access protocols (HTTP) can be used.
Regarding backward compatibility: the remote device asks for the CONFIGURATION-URL and CONFIGURATION-VERSION attributes. Because the CONFIGURATION-URL and CONFIGURATION-VERSION attributes are not mandatory attributes, the server sends them only if it has them configured for the group. There is no built-in restriction to push the configuration, but bootstrap configurations (such as for the IP address) cannot be sent because those configurations are required to set up the Easy VPN tunnel, and the CONFIGURATION-URL comes into effect only after the Easy VPN tunnel comes up.
After the Configuration Has Been Acquired by the Easy VPN Remote Device
After the configuration has been acquired by the Easy VPN remote device, the remote device sends a new ISAKMP notification to the Easy VPN server. The notification contains several manageability information messages about the client (remote device). The Easy VPN server takes two actions when this information is received:
•The Easy VPN server caches the information in its peer database. The information can be displayed by using the show crypto isakmp peer config command. This command output displays all manageability information that is sent by the client (remote device).
•If accounting is enabled, the Easy VPN server sends an accounting update record that contains the manageability information messages about the remote device to the accounting RADIUS server. This accounting update is later available in the accounting log of the RADIUS server.
How to Configure This Feature
The commands that are used to configure this feature and the attributes CONFIGURATION-URL and CONFIGURATION-VERSION are described in the crypto isakmp client configuration group command documentation.
Per User AAA Policy Download with PKI
With the Support of Per User AAA Policy Download with PKI feature, user attributes are obtained from the AAA server and pushed to the remote device through mode configuration. The username that is used to get the attributes is retrieved from the remote device certificate.
Per-User Attribute Support for Easy VPN Servers
The Per-User Attribute Support for Easy VPN Servers feature provides users with the ability to support per-user attributes on Easy VPN servers. These attributes are applied on the virtual access interface.
Local Easy VPN AAA Server
For a local Easy VPN AAA server, the per-user attributes can be applied at the group level or at the user level using the command-line interface (CLI).
To configure per-user attributes for a local Easy VPN server, see "Configuring Per-User Attributes on a Local Easy VPN AAA Server" section.
Remote Easy VPN AAA Server
Attribute value (AV) pairs can be defined on a remote Easy VPN AAA server as shown in this example:
cisco-avpair = "ip:outacl#101=permit tcp any any established
Per-User Attributes
The following per-user attributes are currently defined in the AAA server and are applicable to IPsec:
•inacl
•interface-config
•outacl
•route
•rte-fltr-in
•rte-fltr-out
•sub-policy-In
•sub-policy-Out
•policy-route
•prefix
Syslog Message Enhancements
Some new syslog messages have been added for Easy VPN in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)T. The syslog messages can be enabled on your server by using the command-line interface (CLI). The format of the syslog messages is as follows:
timestamp: %CRYPTO-6-VPN_TUNNEL_STATUS: (Server) <event message> User=<username>
Group=<groupname> Client_public_addr=<ip_addr> Server_public_addr=<ip addr>
For an authentication-passed event, the syslog message looks like the following:
Jul 25 23:33:06.847: %CRYPTO-6-VPN_TUNNEL_STATUS: (Server) Authentication PASS
ED User=blue Group=Cisco1760group Client_public_addr=10.20.20.1
Server_public_addr=10.20.20.2
Three of the messages (Max users, Max logins, and Group does not exist) are authorization issues and are printed only with the group name in the format. The reason for only the group name being printed is that authorization check happens much before mode configuration happens. Therefore, the peer information is not yet present and cannot be printed. The following is an example of a "Group does not exit" message.
*Jun 30 18:02:58.107: %CRYPTO-6-VPN_TUNNEL_STATUS: Group: group_1 does not exist
Easy VPN Syslog Messages That Are Supported
Both ezvpn_connection_up and ezvpn_connection_down were already supported in a previous release of syslog messages. The enhancements in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)T follow the same format, but new syslogs are introduced. The added syslogs are as follows:
•Authentication Passed
•Authentication Rejected
–Group Lock Enabled
–Incorrect Username or Password
–Max Users exceeded/Max Logins exceeded
–No. of Retries exceeded
•Authentication Failed (AAA Not Contactable)
•IP Pool Not present/No Free IP Address available in the pool
•ACL associated with Ezvpn policy but NOT defined (hence, no split tunneling possible)
•Save password Turned ON
•Incorrect firewall record being sent by Client (incorrect vendor | product | capability)
•Authentication Rejected
–Access restricted via incoming interface
–Group does not exist
Network Admission Control Support for Easy VPN
Network Admission Control was introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)T as a way to determine whether a PC client should be allowed to connect to the LAN. Network Admission Control uses Extensible Authentication Protocol over UDP (EAPoUDP) to query the Cisco trust agent on the PC and allows a PC to access the network if the client status is healthy. Different policies can be applied on the server to deny or limit access of PCs that are infected.
Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(4)T, Network Admission Control can now be used to monitor the status of remote PC clients as well. After the Easy VPN tunnel comes up and the PC starts to send traffic, the traffic is intercepted at the Easy VPN server, and the posture validation process starts. The posture validation process consists of sending an EAPoUDP request over the Easy VPN tunnel and querying the Cisco trust agent. The authentication server is configured inside the trusted network, behind the IPsec aggregator.
The configuration of an Easy VPN server that has Network Admission Control enabled is shown in the output in Network Admission Control: Example.
Central Policy Push Firewall Policy Push
The Easy VPN server supports Central Policy Push (CPP) Firewall Policy Push. This feature allows administrators to push policies that enforce security to the Cisco Easy VPN (software) Client and related firewall software.
A split tunnel enables access to corporate networks, but it also allows a remote device to be exposed to attacks from the Internet. This feature enables the server to determine whether to allow or deny a tunnel if the remote device does not have a required firewall, thereby reducing exposure to attacks.
The following firewall types are supported:
•Cisco-Integrated-firewall (central-policy-push)
•Cisco-Security-Agent (check-presence)
•Zonelabs-Zonealarm (both)
•Zonelabs-ZonealarmPro (both)
The server can be used either to check the presence of a firewall on the client (remote device) using the check-presence option or to specify the specifics of the firewall policies that must be applied by the client using the central-policy-push.
Note The policy check-presence command and keyword, which are used with this feature, replace the firewall are-u-there command functionality that was supported before Cisco IOS Release 12.4(6)T. The firewall are-u-there command will continue to be supported for backward compatibility.
To enable this feature, see the "Defining a CPP Firewall Policy Push Using a Local AAA Server" section and "Applying a CPP Firewall Policy Push to the Configuration Group" section.
Syslog Support for CPP Firewall Policy Push
Syslog support can be enabled using the crypto logging ezvpn command on your router. CPP syslog messages will be printed for the following error conditions:
•If policy is configured on a group configuration (using the firewall policy command), but a global policy with the same name is not defined (using the crypto isakmp client firewall command). The syslog message is as follows:
Policy enabled on group configuration but not defined
Tunnel setup proceeds as normal (with the firewall).
•If an incorrect firewall request (vendor/product/cap incorrect order) is received, the syslog message is as follows:
Incorrect firewall record received from client
•If a policy mismatch occurs between the Cisco VPN Client and the server, the syslog is as follows:
CPP policy mismatch between client and headend
Password Aging
Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.4(6)T, EasyVPN remote devices (clients) sent username and password values to the Easy VPN server, which in turn sent them to the AAA subsystem. The AAA subsystem generated an authentication request to the RADIUS server. If the password had expired, the RADIUS server replied with an authentication failure. The reason for the failure was not passed back to the AAA subsystem. The user was denied access due to authentication failure, but he or she did not know that the failure was due to password expiration.
Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(6)T, if you have configured the Password Aging feature, the EasyVPN client is notified when a password has expired, and you are prompted to enter a new password. To configure the Password Aging feature, see the section Configuring Password Aging.
For more information about Password Aging, see the reference for "Password Aging" in the section Additional References (subsection "Related Documents).
Split DNS
Effective with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(9)T, split DNS functionality is available on Easy VPN servers. This feature enables the Easy VPN hardware client to use primary and secondary DNS values to resolve DNS queries. These values are pushed by the Easy VPN server to the Easy VPN remote device. To configure this feature on your server, use the split-dns command (see the "Defining Group Policy Information for Mode Configuration Push" section). Configuring this command adds the split-dns attribute to the policy group. The attribute will include the list of domain names that you configured. All other names will be resolved using the public DNS server.
For more information about configuring split DNS, see "Configuring Split and Dynamic DNS on the Cisco VPN 3000" at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/471/dns_split_dynam.pdf.
cTCP
The Cisco Tunneling Control Protocol (cTCP) feature can be used for situations in which an Easy VPN remote device is operating in an environment in which standard IPsec does not function or in which it does not function transparently without modification to existing firewall rules. These situations include the following:
•Small or home office router performing Network Address Translation (NAT) or Port Address Translation (PAT)
•PAT-provided IP address behind a larger router (for example, in a corporation)
•Non-NAT firewall (packet filtering or stateful)
•Proxy server
The firewall should be configured to allow the headend to accept cTCP connections on the configured cTCP port. This configuration is enabled on the Easy VPN server. If the firewall is not configured, it will not allow the cTCP traffic.
Note cTCP traffic is actually Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic. cTCP packets are IKE or Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) packets that are being transmitted over TCP.
The cTCP server sends a gratuitous ACK message to the client whenever the data received from the client over the cTCP session established reaches 3 kilobytes (KB). A similar procedure is followed by the client. By default, this gratuitous ACK message is sent to keep the NAT or firewall sessions between the cTCP server and cTCP client alive. The data size at which gratuitous ACK messages are sent is not configurable.
Keepalives that are sent by a client or server do not keep the sessions alive when the server or client sends data at a high speed.
The cTCP server sending ACK message ensures that NAT or firewall sessions do not drop packets when there is one-way traffic and the data is large. It also ensures that an acknowledgement is provided from the device receiving the data.
VRF Assignment by a AAA Server
To assign VRF to Easy VPN users, the following attributes should be enabled on a AAA server:
Cisco-avpair "ip:interface-config=ip vrf forwarding example1"
Cisco-avpair "ip:interface-config=ip unnumbered loopback10"

(Optional) Rather than have backup gateways added to client configurations manually, it is possible to have the server "push down" a list of backup gateways to the client device. •These gateways are tried in order in the case of a failure of the previous gateway. The gateways may be specified using IP addresses or host names. |
Step 17 |
pfs
Router(config-isakmp-group)# pfs |
(Optional) Notifies the client of the central-site policy regarding whether PFS is required for any IPsec SA. •Because the client device does not have a user interface option to enable or disable PFS negotiation, the server will notify the client device of the central site policy using this parameter. The Diffie-Hellman (D-H) group that is proposed for PFS will be the same that was negotiated in Phase 1 of the IKE negotiation. |

Troubleshooting a cTCP Configuration
To troubleshoot a cTCP configuration, perform the following steps.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. Ensure that the cTCP session is in the CTCP_ACK_RECEIVED state.
2. If the cTCP session is not in the CTCP_ACK_RECEIVED state, enable the debug crypto ctcp command.
3. If no cTCP bugs are seen, ensure that the firewall is allowing the cTCP packets to get to the server.
4. If the firewall configuration is correct, debugging is enabled, and you do not see any cTCP debugs on your console, you must find out why the cTCP port on the router is not receiving packets.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1 To ensure that the cTCP session is in the CTCP_ACK_RECEIVED state, use the show crypto ctcp command.
Step 2 If the cTCP session is not in the CTCP_ACK_RECEIVED state, enable the debug crypto ctcp command and then try using the show crypto ctcp command again.
Step 3 If no cTCP bugs are seen, ensure that the firewall is allowing the cTCP packets to get to the server (check the firewall configuration).
Step 4 If the firewall configuration is correct, debugging is enabled, and you do not see any cTCP debugs on your console, you must find out why the cTCP port on the router is not receiving packets. If you do not see any cTCP debugs and a cTCP session has not been set up, there is a possibility that cTCP packets that are actually TCP packets could have been delivered to a TCP stack instead of to the cTCP port. By enabling the debug ip packet and debug ip tcp packet commands, you may be able to determine whether the packet is being given to the TCP stack.

Network Admission Control: Example
The following is output for an Easy VPN server that has been enabled with Network Admission Control.
Note Network Admission Control is supported on an Easy VPN server only when the server uses IPsec virtual interfaces. Network Admission Control is enabled on the virtual template interface and applies to all PC clients that use this virtual template interface.

! Note 1: EAPoUDP packets will use the IP address of the loopback interface when sending
the EAPoUDP hello to the Easy VPN client. Using the IP address ensures that the returning
EAPoUDP packets come back encrypted and are associated with the correct virtual access
interface. The ip admission (ip admission source-interface Loopback10) command is
optional. Instead of using this command, you can specify the IP address of the virtual
template to be an address in the inside network space as shown in the configuration of the
virtual template below in Note 2.

are attached to virtual-access interfaces that are cloned from this virtual template carry
the source address of the loopback address and that response packets from the VPN client
come back encrypted.

Easy VPN Server |
12.2(8)T |
The Easy VPN Server feature introduces server support for the Cisco VPN Client Release 3.x and later software clients and Cisco VPN hardware clients (such as the Cisco 800, Cisco 900, Cisco 1700, VPN 3002, and PIX 501 devices). This feature allows a remote end user to communicate using IP Security (IPsec) with any Cisco IOS Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway. Centrally managed IPsec policies are "pushed" to the client device by the server, minimizing configuration by the end user. |
12.3(2)T |
The following commands were introduced or modified: RADIUS support for user profiles, user-based policy control, session monitoring for VPN group access, backup-gateway list, and PFS. |
12.3(7)T |
The netmask command was integrated for use on the Easy VPN server. For information about configuring this command, see the following section: •Defining Group Policy Information for Mode Configuration Push |
12.4(2)T 12.2(33)SXH |
The following feature was added in this release: •Banner, Auto-Update, and Browser Proxy Enhancements |
12.4(6)T |

Glossary
AAA—authentication, authorization, and accounting. Framework of security services that provides the method for identifying users (authentication), for remote access control (authorization), and for collecting and sending security server information used for billing, auditing, and reporting (accounting).
aggressive mode (AM)—Mode during Internet Key Exchange negotiation. Compared to main mode (MM), AM eliminates several steps, which makes it faster but less secure than MM. Cisco IOS software will respond in aggressive mode to an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) peer that initiates aggressive mode.
AV pair—attribute-value pair. Additional authentication and authorization information in the following format: Cisco:AVPair="protocol:attribute=value".
IKE—Internet Key Exchange. 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 Protocol. Framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity, and data authentication between participating peers. IPsec provides these security services at the IP layer. IPsec uses IKE to handle negotiation of protocols and algorithms based on local policy and to generate the encryption and authentication keys to be used by IPsec. IPsec can be used to protect one or more data flows between a pair of hosts, between a pair of security gateways, or between a security gateway and a host.
ISAKMP—Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol. Protocol framework that defines payload formats, the mechanics of implementing a key exchange protocol, and the negotiation of a security association.
MM—main mode. Mode that is slower than aggressive mode but more secure and more flexible than aggressive mode because it can offer an IKE peer more security proposals. The default action for IKE authentication (Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman signature (rsa-sig), RSA encryption (rsa-encr), or preshared) is to initiate main mode.
policy push—Allows administrators to push policies that enforce security to the Cisco Easy VPN (software) Client and related firewall software.
reverse route injection (RRI)—Simplified network design for VPNs on which there is a requirement for redundancy or load balancing. RRI works with both dynamic and static crypto maps.
In the dynamic case, as remote peers establish IPsec security associations with an RRI enabled router, a static route is created for each subnet or host protected by that remote peer. For static crypto maps, a static route is created for each destination of an extended access-list rule.
SA—security association. Description of how two or more entities will utilize 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.
VPN—Virtual Private Network. 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.
