Configuring Internet Key Exchange Version 2 and FlexVPN Site-to-Site

Last Updated: September 26, 2012

This module contains information about and instructions for configuring basic and advanced Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) and FlexVPN site-to-site. The tasks and configuration examples for IKEv2 in this module are divided as follows:

  • Basic IKEv2--Provides information about basic IKEv2 commands, IKEv2 smart defaults, basic IKEv2 profile, and IKEv2 key ring.
  • Advanced IKEv2--Provides information about global IKEv2 commands and how to override IKEv2 smart defaults.

Note
Security threats, as well as the cryptographic technologies to help protect against them, are constantly changing. For more information about the latest Cisco cryptographic recommendations, see the Next Generation Encryption (NGE) white paper.

Prerequisites for Configuring Internet Key Exchange Version 2

You should be familiar with the concepts and tasks described in the "Configuring Security for VPNs with IPsec" module.

Restrictions for Configuring Internet Key Exchange Version 2

You cannot configure an option that is not supported on a specific platform. For example, in a security protocol, the capability of the hardware-crypto engine is important, and you cannot specify the Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) or the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) type of encryption transform in a nonexportable image, or specify an encryption algorithm that a crypto engine does not support.

Information About Internet Key Exchange Version 2

IKEv2 Supported Standards

Cisco implements the IP Security (IPsec) Protocol standard for use in Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2).


Note
Cisco no longer recommends using DES or MD5 (including HMAC variant); instead, you should use AES and SHA-256. For more information about the latest Cisco cryptographic recommendations, see the Next Generation Encryption (NGE) white paper.

The component technologies implemented in IKEv2 are as follows:

  • AES-CBC--Advanced Encryption Standard-Cipher Block Chaining
  • SHA (HMAC variant)--Secure Hash Algorithm
  • Diffie-Hellman--A public-key cryptography protocol
  • DES--Data Encryption Standard (No longer recommended)
  • MD5 (HMAC [Hash-based Message Authentication Code] variant)--Message digest algorithm 5 (No longer recommended)

For more information about supported standards and component technologies, see the "Supported Standards for Use with IKE" section in the "Configuring Internet Key Exchange for IPsec VPNs" module in the Internet Key Exchange for IPsec VPNs Configuration Guide.

Benefits of IKEv2

Dead Peer Detection and Network Address Translation-Traversal

Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) provides built-in support for Dead Peer Detection (DPD) and Network Address Translation-Traversal (NAT-T).

Certificate URLs

Certificates can be referenced through a URL and hash, instead of being sent within IKEv2 packets, to avoid fragmentation.

Denial of Service Attack Resilience

IKEv2 does not process a request until it determines the requester, which addresses to some extent the Denial of Service (DoS) problems in IKEv1, which can be spoofed into performing substantial cryptographic (expensive) processing from false locations.

EAP Support

IKEv2 allows the use of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for authentication.

Multiple Crypto Engines

If your network has both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic and you have multiple crypto engines, choose one of the following configuration options:

  • One engine handles IPv4 traffic and the other engine handles IPv6 traffic.
  • One engine handles both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

Reliability and State Management (Windowing)

IKEv2 uses sequence numbers and acknowledgments to provide reliability, and mandates some error-processing logistics and shared state management.

Internet Key Exchange Version 2 CLI Constructs

IKEv2 Proposal

An Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) proposal is a collection of transforms used in the negotiation of Internet Key Exchange (IKE) security associations (SAs) as part of the IKE_SA_INIT exchange. The transform types used in the negotiation are as follows:

  • Encryption algorithm
  • Integrity algorithm
  • Pseudo-Random Function (PRF) algorithm
  • Diffie-Hellman (DH) group

See the "IKEv2 Smart Defaults" section for information about the default IKEv2 proposal. See the "Configuring Advanced IKEv2 CLI Constructs" section for information about how to override the default IKEv2 proposal and to define new proposals.

IKEv2 Policy

An IKEv2 policy contains proposals that are used to negotiate the encryption, integrity, PRF algorithms, and DH group in the IKE_SA_INIT exchange. It can have match statements, which are used as selection criteria to select a policy during negotiation.

See the "IKEv2 Smart Defaults" section for information about the default IKEv2 policy. See the "Configuring Advanced IKEv2 CLI Constructs" section for information about how to override the default IKEv2 policy and to define new policies.

IKEv2 Profile

An IKEv2 profile is a repository of nonnegotiable parameters of the IKE SA, such as local or remote identities and authentication methods and services that are available to authenticated peers that match the profile. An IKEv2 profile must be attached to either a crypto map or an IPSec profile on the initiator. An IKEv2 profile is not mandatory on the responder.

IKEv2 Key Ring

An IKEv2 key ring is a repository of symmetric and asymmetric preshared keys and is independent of the IKEv1 key ring. The IKEv2 key ring is associated with an IKEv2 profile and hence supports a set of peers that match the IKEv2 profile. The IKEv2 key ring gets its VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) context from the associated IKEv2 profile.

IKEv2 Smart Defaults

The IKEv2 Smart Defaults feature minimizes the FlexVPN configuration by covering most of the use cases. IKEv2 smart defaults can be customized for specific use cases, though this is not recommended.

See the "Configuring Advanced IKEv2 CLI Constructs" section for information about how to modify the default IKEv2 constructs.

The following rules apply to the IKEv2 Smart Defaults feature:

  1. A default configuration is displayed in the corresponding show command with default as a keyword and with no argument. For example, the show crypto ikev2 proposal default command displays the default IKEv2 proposal and the show crypto ikev2 proposal command displays the default IKEv2 proposal, along with any user-configured proposals.
  2. A default configuration is displayed in the show running-config all command; it is not displayed in the show running-config command.
  3. You can modify the default configuration, which is displayed in the show running-config all command.
  4. A default configuration can be disabled using the no form of the command; for example, no crypto ikev2 proposal default. A disabled default configuration is not used in negotiation but the configuration is displayed in the show running-config command. A disabled default configuration loses any user modification and restores system-configured values.
  5. A default configuration can be reenabled using the default form of the command, which restores system-configured values; for example, default crypto ikev2 proposal.
  6. The default mode for the default transform set is transport; the default mode for all other transform sets is tunnel.

Note
Cisco no longer recommends using MD5 (including HMAC variant) and Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups 1, 2 and 5; instead, you should use SHA-256 and DH Groups 14 or higher. For more information about the latest Cisco cryptographic recommendations, see the Next Generation Encryption (NGE) white paper.

The following table lists the commands that are enabled with the IKEv2 Smart Defaults feature, along with the default values.

IKEv2 Suite-B Support

Suite-B is a set of cryptographic algorithms promulgated by the National Security Agency as part of its Cryptographic Modernization Program. Suite-B for Internet Key Exchange (IKE) and IPsec is defined in RFC 4869. The Suite-B components are as follows:

  • Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128- and 256-bit keys configured in the IKEv2 proposal. For data traffic, AES should be used in Galois Counter Mode (GCM) that is configured in the IPsec transform set.
  • Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) configured in the IKEv2 profile.
  • Secure Hashing Algorithm 2 (SHA-256 and SHA-384) configured in the IKEv2 proposal and IPsec transform set.

Suite-B requirements comprise four user-interface suites of cryptographic algorithms for use with IKE and IPsec. Each suite consists of an encryption algorithm, a digital-signature algorithm, a key-agreement algorithm, and a hash- or message-digest algorithm. See the "Configuring Security for VPNs with IPsec" feature module for detailed information about Cisco Suite-B support.

How to Configure Internet Key Exchange Version 2

Configuring Basic Internet Key Exchange Version 2 CLI Constructs

To enable IKEv2 on a crypto interface, attach an Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) profile to the crypto map or IPsec profile applied to the interface. This step is optional on the IKEv2 responder.


Note
The difference between IKEv1 and IKEv2 is that you need not enable IKEv1 on individual interfaces because IKEv1 is enabled globally on all interfaces on a device.

Perform the following tasks to manually configure basic IKEv2 constructs:

Configuring the IKEv2 Key Ring

Perform this task to configure the IKEv2 key ring if the local or remote authentication method is a preshared key.

IKEv2 key ring keys must be configured in the peer configuration submode that defines a peer subblock. An IKEv2 key ring can have multiple peer subblocks. A peer subblock contains a single symmetric or asymmetric key pair for a peer or peer group identified by any combination of the hostname, identity, and IP address.

IKEv2 key rings are independent of IKEv1 key rings. The key differences are as follows:

  • IKEv2 key rings support symmetric and asymmetric preshared keys.
  • IKEv2 key rings do not support Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman (RSA) public keys.
  • IKEv2 key rings are specified in the IKEv2 profile and are not looked up, unlike IKEv1, where keys are looked up on receipt of MM1 to negotiate the preshared key authentication method. The authentication method is not negotiated in IKEv2.
  • IKEv2 key rings are not associated with VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) during configuration. The VRF of an IKEv2 key ring is the VRF of the IKEv2 profile that refers to the key ring.
  • A single key ring can be specified in an IKEv2 profile, unlike an IKEv1 profile, which can specify multiple key rings.
  • A single key ring can be specified in more than one IKEv2 profile, if the same keys are shared across peers matching different profiles.
  • An IKEv2 key ring is structured as one or more peer subblocks.

On an IKEv2 initiator, the IKEv2 key ring key lookup is performed using the peer's hostname or the address, in that order. On an IKEv2 responder, the key lookup is performed using the peer's IKEv2 identity or the address, in that order.


Note
You cannot configure the same identity in more than one peer.

What to Do Next

After configuring the IKEv2 key ring, configure the IKEv2 profile. For more information, see the "Configuring IKEv2 Profile (Basic)" section.

Configuring an IKEv2 Profile (Basic)

Perform this task to configure the mandatory commands for an IKEv2 profile.

An IKEv2 profile is a repository of nonnegotiable parameters of the IKE security association (SA) (such as local or remote identities and authentication methods) and services available to authenticated peers that match the profile. An IKEv2 profile must be configured and associated with either a crypto map or an IPsec profile on the IKEv2 initiator. Use the set ikev2-profile profile-name command to associate a profile with a crypto map or an IPsec profile. To disassociate the profile, use the no form of the command.

The following rules apply to match statements:

  • An IKEv2 profile must contain a match identity or a match certificate statement; otherwise, the profile is considered incomplete and is not used. An IKEv2 profile can have more than one match identity or match certificate statements.
  • An IKEv2 profile must have a single match Front Door VPN routing and forwarding (FVRF) statement.
  • When a profile is selected, multiple match statements of the same type are logically ORed, and multiple match statements of different types are logically ANDed.
  • The match identity and match certificate statements are considered to be the same type of statements and are ORed.
  • Configuration of overlapping profiles is considered a misconfiguration. In the case of multiple profile matches, no profile is selected.

Use the show crypto ikev2 profile profile-name command to display the IKEv2 profile.

  • If the IKEv2 profile is used for tunnel protection, the Inside VRF (IVRF) for the tunnel interface should be configured on the tunnel interface.
Note   IVRF specifies the VRF for cleartext packets. The default value for IVRF is FVRF.
 
Step 11
keyring {local keyring-name | aaa list-name name-mangler mangler-name}


Example:

Device(config-ikev2-profile)# keyring aaa keyring1 name-mangler mangler1

 

Specifies the local or AAA-based key ring that must be used with the local and remote preshared key authentication method.

Note   You can specify only one key ring. Local AAA is not supported for AAA-based preshared keys.

Specifies Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) trustpoints for use with the RSA signature authentication method.

Note   If the sign or verify keyword is not specified, the trustpoint is used for signing and verification.
Note   In contrast to IKEv1, a trustpoint must be configured in an IKEv2 profile for certificate-based authentication to succeed. There is no fallback for globally configured trustpoints if this command is not present in the configuration. The trustpoint configuration applies to the IKEv2 initiator and responder.
 
Step 16
redirect gateway auth


Example:

Device(config-ikev2-profile)# redirect gateway auth

 

Enables the redirect mechanism on the gateway on SA authentication.

Note   The redirect mechanism is specific to the IKEv2 profiles.
 
Step 17
virtual-template number


Example:

Device(config-ikev2-profile)# virtual-template 125

 

(Optional) Specifies the virtual template for cloning a virtual access interface (VAI).

Configuring IKEv2 Proposal

Refer to the "IKEv2 Smart Defaults" section for information on the default IKEv2 proposal.

Perform this task to override the default IKEv2 proposal or to manually configure the proposals if you do not want to use the default proposal.

An IKEv2 proposal is a set of transforms used in the negotiation of IKEv2 SA as part of the IKE_SA_INIT exchange. An IKEv2 proposal is regarded as complete only when it has at least an encryption algorithm, an integrity algorithm, and a Diffie-Hellman (DH) group configured. If no proposal is configured and attached to an IKEv2 policy, the default proposal in the default IKEv2 policy is used in negotiation.


Note
Security threats, as well as the cryptographic technologies to help protect against them, are constantly changing. For more information about the latest Cisco cryptographic recommendations, see the Next Generation Encryption (NGE) white paper.

Although the IKEv2 proposal is similar to the crypto isakmp policy command, the IKEv2 proposal differs as follows:

  • An IKEv2 proposal allows configuring one or more transforms for each transform type.
  • An IKEv2 proposal does not have any associated priority.

DETAILED STEPS
 Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
enable


Example:

Device> enable

 

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.
 
Step 2
configure terminal


Example:

Device# configure terminal

 

Enters global configuration mode.

 
Step 3
crypto ikev2 proposal name


Example:

Device(config)# crypto ikev2 proposal proposal1

 

Overrides the default IKEv2 proposal, defines an IKEv2 proposal name, and enters IKEv2 proposal configuration mode.

 
Step 4
encryption {3des} {aes-cbc-128} {aes-cbc-192} {aes-cbc-256}


Example:

Device(config-ikev2-proposal)# encryption aes-cbc-128 aes-cbc-192

 

Specifies one or more transforms of the encryption type, which are as follows:

  • 3des (No longer recommended)
  • aes-cbc-128
  • aes-cbc-192
  • aes-cbc-256
 
Step 5
integrity {md5} {sha1} {sha256} {sha384} {sha512}


Example:

Device(config-ikev2-proposal)# integrity sha1

 

Specifies one or more transforms of the integrity algorithm type, which are as follows:

  • The md5 keyword specifies MD5 (HMAC variant) as the hash algorithm. (No longer recommended)
  • The sha1 keyword specifies SHA-1 (HMAC variant) as the hash algorithm.
  • The sha256 keyword specifies SHA-2 family 256-bit (HMAC variant) as the hash algorithm.
  • The sha384 keyword specifies SHA-2 family 384-bit (HMAC variant) as the hash algorithm.
  • The sha512 keyword specifies SHA-2 family 512-bit (HMAC variant) as the hash algorithm.
 
Step 6
group {1} {14} {15} {16} {19} {2} {20} {24} {5}


Example:

Device(config-ikev2-proposal)# group 14

 

Specifies the Diffie-Hellman (DH) group identifier.

  • The default DH group identifiers are group 2 and 5 in the IKEv2 proposal.
    • 1--768-bit DH (No longer recommended).
    • 2--1024-bit DH (No longer recommended).
    • 5--1536-bit DH (No longer recommended).
    • 14--Specifies the 2048-bit DH group.
    • 15--Specifies the 3072-bit DH group.
    • 16--Specifies the 4096-bit DH group.
    • 19--Specifies the 256-bit elliptic curve DH (ECDH) group.
    • 20--Specifies the 384-bit ECDH group.
    • 24--Specifies the 2048-bit DH group.

The group chosen must be strong enough (have enough bits) to protect the IPsec keys during negotiation. A generally accepted guideline recommends the use of a 2048-bit group after 2013 (until 2030). Either group 14 or group 24 can be selected to meet this guideline. Even if a longer-lived security method is needed, the use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography is recommended, but group 15 and group 16 can also be considered.

 
Step 7
end


Example:

Device(config-ikev2-proposal)# end

 

Exits IKEv2 proposal configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

 
Step 8
show crypto ikev2 proposal [name | default]


Example:

Device# show crypto ikev2 proposal default

 

(Optional) Displays the IKEv2 proposal.

 
What to Do Next

After you create the IKEv2 proposal, attach it to a policy so that the proposal is picked for negotiation. For information about completing this task, see the "Configuring IKEv2 Policy" section.

Configuring IKEv2 Policies

See the "IKEv2 Smart Defaults" section for information about the default IKEv2 policy.

Perform this task to override the default IKEv2 policy or to manually configure the policies if you do not want to use the default policy.

An IKEv2 policy must contain at least one proposal to be considered as complete and can have match statements, which are used as selection criteria to select a policy for negotiation. During the initial exchange, the local address (IPv4 or IPv6) and the Front Door VRF (FVRF) of the negotiating SA are matched with the policy and the proposal is selected.

The following rules apply to the match statements:

  • An IKEv2 policy without any match statements will match all peers in the global FVRF.
  • An IKEv2 policy can have only one match FVRF statement.
  • An IKEv2 policy can have one or more match address local statements.
  • When a policy is selected, multiple match statements of the same type are logically ORed and match statements of different types are logically ANDed.
  • There is no precedence between match statements of different types.
  • Configuration of overlapping policies is considered a misconfiguration. In the case of multiple, possible policy matches, the first policy is selected.

  hostname peer3.example.com
  identity key-id abc
  address 209.165.200.228 255.255.255.224
  pre-shared-key key-3
Example: IKEv2 Keyring with Symmetric Preshared Keys Based on an IP Address

The following example shows how to configure an IKEv2 key ring with symmetric preshared keys based on an IP address. The following is the initiator's key ring: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-1
 peer peer1
  description peer1
  address 209.165.200.225 255.255.255.224
  pre-shared-key key1

The following is the responder's key ring: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-1
 peer peer2
  description peer2 
  address 209.165.200.228 255.255.255.224
  pre-shared-key key1
Example: IKEv2 Key Ring with Asymmetric Preshared Keys Based on an IP Address

The following example shows how to configure an IKEv2 key ring with asymmetric preshared keys based on an IP address. The following is the initiator's key ring: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-1
 peer peer1
  description peer1 with asymmetric keys
  address 209.165.200.225 255.255.255.224
  pre-shared-key local key1
  pre-shared-key remote key2

The following is the responder's key ring: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-1
 peer peer2
  description peer2 with asymmetric keys
  address 209.165.200.228 255.255.255.224
  pre-shared-key local key2
  pre-shared-key remote key1
Example: IKEv2 Key Ring with Asymmetric Preshared Keys Based on a Hostname

The following example shows how to configure an IKEv2 key ring with asymmetric preshared keys based on the hostname. The following is the initiator's key ring: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-1
 peer host1
  description host1 in example domain
  hostname host1.example.com
  pre-shared-key local key1
  pre-shared-key remote key2

The following is the responder's keyring: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-1
 peer host2
  description host2 in abc domain
  hostname host2.example.com
  pre-shared-key local key2
  pre-shared-key remote key1
Example: IKEv2 Key Ring with Symmetric Preshared Keys Based on an Identity

The following example shows how to configure an IKEv2 key ring with symmetric preshared keys based on an identity: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-4
 peer abc
  description example domain
  identity fqdn example.com
  pre-shared-key abc-key-1
 peer user1
  description user1 in example domain
  identity email user1@example.com
  pre-shared-key abc-key-2
 peer user1-remote
  description user1 example remote users
  identity key-id example
  pre-shared-key example-key-3
Example: IKEv2 Key Ring with a Wildcard Key

The following example shows how to configure an IKEv2 key ring with a wildcard key: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-1
 peer cisco
  description example domain
  address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 
  pre-shared-key example-key
Example: Matching a Key Ring

The following example shows how a key ring is matched: 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-1
 peer cisco
  description example.com
  address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 
  pre-shared-key xyz-key
 peer peer1
  description abc.example.com
  address 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 
  pre-shared-key abc-key
 peer host1
  description host1@abc.example.com
  address 10.0.0.1
  pre-shared-key host1-example-key

In the example shown, the key lookup for peer 10.0.0.1 first matches the wildcard key example-key, then the prefix key example-key, and finally the host key host1-example-key. The best match host1-example-key is used. 

crypto ikev2 keyring keyring-2
 peer host1
 description host1 in abc.example.com sub-domain
 address 10.0.0.1
 pre-shared-key host1-example-key
 peer host2
  description example domain
  address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 
  pre-shared-key example-key

In the example shown, the key lookup for peer 10.0.0.1 would first match the host key host1-abc-key. Because this is a specific match, no further lookup is performed.

Example: Configuring the Profile

Example: IKEv2 Profile Matched on Remote Identity

The following profile supports peers that identify themselves using fully qualified domain name (FQDN) example.com and authenticate with the RSA signature using trustpoint-remote. The local node authenticates itself with a preshared key using keyring-1. 

crypto ikev2 profile profile2
 match identity remote fqdn example.com
 identity local email router2@example.com
 authentication local pre-share
 authentication remote rsa-sig
 keyring keyring-1
 pki trustpoint trustpoint-remote verify
 lifetime 300
 dpd 5 10 on-demand

crypto ikev2 profile profile2
 match identity remote email user1@example.com
 match identity remote email user2@example.com
 identity local email router2@cisco.com
 authentication local rsa-sig
 authentication remote pre-share
 authentication remote rsa-sig
 keyring keyring-1
 pki trustpoint trustpoint-local sign
 pki trustpoint trustpoint-remote verify
 lifetime 300
 dpd 5 10 on-demand
 virtual-template 1

Example: Configuring FlexVPN Site-to-Site with Dynamic Routing Using Certificates and IKEv2 Smart Defaults

The following examples show a site-to-site connection between a branch device (initiator, using a static virtual tunnel interface [sVTI]) and a central device (responder, using a dynamic virtual tunnel interface [dVTI]) with dynamic routing over the tunnel. The example uses IKEv2 smart defaults, and the authentication is performed using certificates (RSA signatures).


Note
A RSA modulus size of 2048 is recommended.

The peers use the FQDN as their IKEv2 identity, and the IKEv2 profile on the responder matches the domain in the identity FQDN.

The configuration on the initiator (branch device) is as follows: 

hostname branch
ip domain name cisco.com
!
crypto ikev2 profile branch-to-central
 match identity remote fqdn central.cisco.com
 identity local fqdn branch.cisco.com
 authentication local rsa-sig
 authentication remote rsa-sig

Configuration Examples for Advanced Internet Key Exchange Version 2 CLI Constructs

Example: Configuring the Proposal

Example: IKEv2 Proposal with One Transform for Each Transform Type

This example shows how to configure an IKEv2 proposal with one transform for each transform type: 

crypto ikev2 proposal proposal-1
 encryption aes-cbc-128
 integrity sha1
 group 14
Example: IKEv2 Proposal with Multiple Transforms for Each Transform Type

This example shows how to configure an IKEv2 proposal with multiple transforms for each transform type: 

crypto ikev2 proposal proposal-2
 encryption aes-cbc-128 aes-cbc-192
 integrity sha1
 group 14

Note
Cisco no longer recommends using 3DES, MD5 (including HMAC variant), and Diffie-Hellman(DH) groups 1, 2 and 5; instead, you should use AES, SHA-256 and DH Groups 14 or higher. For more information about the latest Cisco cryptographic recommendations, see the Next Generation Encryption (NGE) white paper.

The IKEv2 proposal proposal-2 shown translates to the following prioritized list of transform combinations:

  • aes-cbc-128, sha1, 14
  • aes-cbc-192, sha1, 14
Example: IKEv2 Proposals on the Initiator and Responder

The following example shows how to configure IKEv2 proposals on the initiator and the responder. The proposal on the initiator is as follows: 

crypto ikev2 proposal proposal-1
 encryption aes-cbc-192 aes-cbc-128
 integrity sha-256 sha1
 group 14 24

The proposal on the responder is as follows: 

crypto ikev2 proposal proposal-2
 encryption aes-cbc-128 aes-cbc-192
 peer
 integrity sha1 sha-256 
 group 24 14

The selected proposal will be as follows: 

encryption aes-cbc-128
integrity sha1 
group 14

In the proposals shown for the initiator and responder, the initiator and responder have conflicting preferences. In this case, the initiator is preferred over the responder.

Example: Configuring the Policy

Example: IKEv2 Policy Matched on a VRF and Local Address

The following example shows how an IKEv2 policy is matched based on a VRF and local address: 

crypto ikev2 policy policy2
 match vrf vrf1
 match local address 10.0.0.1
 proposal proposal-1
Example: IKEv2 Policy with Multiple Proposals That Match All Peers in a Global VRF

The following example shows how an IKEv2 policy with multiple proposals matches the peers in a global VRF: 

crypto ikev2 policy policy2
 proposal proposal-A
 proposal proposal-B
 proposal proposal-B
Example: IKEv2 Policy That Matches All Peers in Any VRF

The following example shows how an IKEv2 policy matches the peers in any VRF: 

crypto ikev2 policy policy2
 match vrf any
 proposal proposal-1
Example: Matching a Policy

Do not configure overlapping policies. If there are multiple possible policy matches, the best match is used, as shown in the following example: 

crypto ikev2 policy policy1
 match fvrf fvrf1
crypto ikev2 policy policy2
 match fvrf fvff1
 match local address 10.0.0.1

The proposal with FVRF as fvrf1 and the local peer as 10.0.0.1 matches policy1 and policy2, but policy2 is selected because it is the best match.

Where to Go Next

After configuring IKEv2, proceed to configure IPsec VPNs. For more information, see the "Configuring Security for VPNs with IPsec" module.
