Cisco IPsec Configuration

by Priscilla Oppenheimer

This example annotates the configuration of two Cisco routers configured to send encrypted traffic across an IPsec tunnel. Following the annotations are some explanations of Cisco show commands that are useful when troubleshooting IPsec. The two routers are connected via Frame Relay. Each router also has a Fast Ethernet interface where end nodes reside, as shown in the following figure. The end nodes' traffic will be encrypted when traversing the IPsec tunnel.

R1 Annotated Configuration
R1's configuration is shown below. Annotations start with !---- and are in blue.

!---- The IPsec configuration starts with configuring the Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP). ISAKMP is a framework for authentication and key exchange. Cisco uses Internet Key Exchange (IKE) which is derived from ISAKMP. IKE establishes a shared security policy and authenticated keys for IPsec to use.
First we create Policy 1. Then we say that we'll use MD5 to hash the IKE exchange, though we could use SHA (the Cisco default). We'll use DES to encrypt IKE, though we could use AES. (Because DES is the default it doesn't show in the configuration.)
We could use a Certificate Authority (CA) for authentication, but for our example we will manually enter a pre-shared key into each router. We will use "MyKey" for the key.
We also provide the address of our peer, 10.102.0.2. ----!

crypto isakmp policy 1
hash md5
authentication pre-share
crypto isakmp key MyKey address 10.102.0.2
!
!---- Next, we create an IPsec transform set that we call MySet. We specify the authentication protocol for the IPsec Authentication Header (AH) and we specify the encryption protocol for the IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP). These don't have to be the same proocols that IKE uses. In fact, we'll use SHA for authentication and AES-256 for encryption.----!
crypto ipsec transform-set MySet ah-sha-hmac esp-aes 256
!
!---- You can't expect Cisco to make anything easy! So next we create a crypto map, called MyMap, with sequence number 1. (A crypto map can be a collection of entries, each with a different sequence number, though we'll just use one entry.) The ipsec-isakmp argument tells the router that this map is an IPsec map. We tell the router about its peer (10.102.0.2) yet again and we set the security-association (SA) lifetime.

We will use 190 seconds for the SA lifetime because Cisco examples use 190. It seems too short but there's a tradeoff. If you make it too long you risk attackers being more successful. If you make it too short, the routers have to do more work to renegotiate the SA more often. The default is based on a global command that affects all maps and is 3600 seconds (one hour).
Our crypto map points to our MySet transform set. It also references access-list 101, which is later in the configuration and specifies which traffic will be encrypted. ----!

!---- Here we apply our crypto map to the interface that will be sending the encrypted traffic. The interface is a Frame Relay sub-interface with DLCI 102 that connects to our peer at the other end. Our address is 10.102.0.1. (Our peer is 10.102.0.2 as we've already seen.) ----!

R2 Annotated Configuration
R2's configuration is shown below. Annotations start with !---- and are in blue. Notice that R2 needs fewer annotations. It needs to match R1 so they will act like nice peers and not fight with each other.

R2 Show Commands
Once you have configured the router peers, a variety of show commands will help you verify that the security associations are live and the traffic is being encrypted.

!---- The show crypto session command lets us verify that the IKE session is active. Notice that we're talking to our peer via UDP port 500, the port for IKE. ----!

R2#show crypto session

  IPSEC FLOW: permit ip 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
        Active SAs: 4, origin: crypto map

!---- The show crypto isakmp policy command tells us more than we ever wanted to know about our IKE session. ----!

!---- The show crypto map verifies our IPsec status. We aren't using Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) as we don't need that extra protection from evil-doers. ----!

        Interfaces using crypto map MyMap:

!---- The show crypto ipsec transform-set verifies our IPsec status and shows that we're using tunnel mode (rather than transport mode). Tunnel mode is appropriate for a router-to-router configuration as opposed to an end node talking to another end node. ----!

R2#show crypto ipsec transform-set
Transform set MySet: { ah-sha-hmac  }
   will negotiate = { Tunnel,  },
   { esp-256-aes  }
   will negotiate = { Tunnel,  },

!---- The show crypto ipsec sa command shows identity information and packet counts and then displays information about all our security associations (SAs) . Notice that there's an inbound SA and an outbound SA for both authentication (AH) and encryption (ESP). The inbound and outbound Payload Compression Protocol (PCP) SAs aren't active, but the others are. They became active because a PC connected to R1's Fast Ethernet interface pinged a PC connected to R2's Fast Ethernet interface. Each SA is identified by a unique security parameter index (SPI). ----!

Ubuntu – Packages for Old Releases

The repositories for older releases that are not supported (like 9.04, 9.10, and 10.10) get moved to an archive server. There are repositories available at http://old-releases.ubuntu.com

The reason for this is that it is now out of support and no longer receiving updates and security patches.

I would urge you to consider a supported distribution. If your computer is too old in terms of memory or processor then you should consider a distribution such as Lubuntu or Xubuntu.

If you want to continue using an outdated release then edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com

then update with

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
