Log in

Configure IPsec ciphers, parameters, and virtual template interface for the SD-WAN RA headend device using a CLI add-on template in Cisco SD-WAN Manager.


This task configures the IPsec settings required for the SD-WAN RA headend device to establish secure tunnel connections.

Use this procedure to set up IPsec encryption settings, security parameters, and the virtual template interface that enables secure communication for remote access connections.

Before you begin

Define the VRF for the service VPN before beginning this procedure. You can use a Cisco SD-WAN Manager feature template to define the VRF.

Follow these steps to configure IPsec ciphers, parameters, and template interface:

Procedure

  1. Configure IPsec ciphers.

    Example:

    crypto ipsec transform-set sdwan-ra_transform_se ipsec-cipher 
    mode tunnel 

    Example:

    crypto ipsec transform-set sdwan-ra_ipsec_ts esp-gcm 256
    mode tunnel
  2. Configure IPsec parameters.

    Example:

    crypto ipsec profile sdwan-ra_ipsec_profile 
    set transform-set sdwan-ra_transform_set 
    set security-association lifetime seconds ipsec_sa_life_sec  
    set security-association replay window-size window-size 
    set ikev2-profile sdwan-ra_ikev2_profile 

    Example:

    crypto ipsec profile sdwan-ra_ipsec-profile
     set security-association lifetime seconds 33600
     set security-association replay window-size 64 
     set transform-set sdwan-ra_transform_set
     set ikev2-profile sdwan-ra_ikev2_profile
  3. Configure the IPsec virtual-template interface.

    Example:

    interface Loopback 65515  
     vrf forwarding sdwan-ra_service_vpn 
     ip address private_ipv4_addr subnet_mask 
    interface Virtual-Template sdwan-ra_vt_intf_num type tunnel  
     vrf forwarding sdwan-ra_service_vpn 
     tunnel mode ipsec ipv4 
     tunnel protection ipsec profile sdwan-ra_ipsec_profile 

    Example:

    vrf definition sdwan-ra_service_vpn
    !
    interface interface Loopback 65515 
     vrf forwarding sdwan-ra_service_vpn
     ip address 10.0.0.100 255.255.255.0
    !
    interface Virtual-Template101 type tunnel 
     vrf forwarding sdwan-ra_service_vpn
     tunnel mode ipsec ipv4
     tunnel protection ipsec profile sdwan-ra_ipsec-profile

The IPsec ciphers, parameters, and virtual template interface are configured for the SD-WAN RA headend device.
