Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Introduction

This document provides a sample configuration how to encrypt traffic from the network behind Router 1 to the network behind Router 2 (the Loopback 0s are used as networks in this example). If the primary link (Ethernet) between Router 1 and Router 2 goes down, IP Security (IPSec) traffic continues to flow through the secondary link (ISDN). There are several ways to achieve this objective; you can use dialer watch, backup interface, demand circuit, and floating static. This sample configuration demonstrates the dialer watch mechanism. For more information on other features, refer to Evaluating Backup Interfaces, Floating Static Routes, and Dialer Watch for DDR Backup.

The debug dialer and several show command outputs displayed here show the primary link as failed, and dialer watch recognizesthe lost route. The router then initiates the backup link and OSPF converges through the secondary link. Each time the idle timeout expires, the router checks whether the primary link is down. If the primary link is found to be up, dialer watch disconnects the backup link after the disable timer expires and tears down the call, and OSPF converges by way of the primary link as usual.

These are the debug and show command outputs of Router one (2621), when the primary link goes down and is brought up again.

Troubleshoot

This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration. For information on troubleshooting general issues with ISDN Layers 1, 2, and 3, refer to Using the show isdn status Command for BRI Troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting Commands

Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) , which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.

Note: Before you issue debug commands, refer to Important Information on Debug Commands.

These debug commands can be run on both IPSec peers.

debug crypto isakmp—Displays errors during Phase 1.
debug crypto ipsec—Displays errors during Phase 2.
debug crypto engine—Displays information from the crypto engine.

These show commands can be run on both IPSec peers.

show crypto isakmp sa—Displays all current Internet Key Exchange (IKE) security associations (SAs) at a peer.
show crypto ipsec sa—Displays the settings used by current [IPSec] SAs.
show crypto engine connections active—Displays current connections and information regarding encrypted and decrypted packets.

These clear commands can be used to clear SAs.

clear crypto isakmp—Clears the Phase one security associations.
clear crypto sa—Clears the Phase two security associations.
