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. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.

Introduction

This configuration allows private networks behind three Cisco Secure PIX Firewall boxes to be connected by VPN tunnels over the Internet or any public network that uses IPsec. Each of the three networks has connectivity to the other two networks. In this scenario, Network Address Translation (NAT) is required for connections to the public Internet. However, NAT is not required for traffic between the three intranets, which can be transmitted using a VPN tunnel over the public Internet.

Prerequisites

Requirements

For IPsec to work, you must have connectivity from tunnel endpoint to tunnel endpoint before you begin this configuration.

Components Used

This configuration was developed and tested with PIX Firewall version 6.1(2).

Note: The show version command must show that encryption is enabled.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Conventions

Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

Configure

In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.

Note: Use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) to obtain more information on the commands used in this section.

Verify

There is currently no verification procedure available for this configuration.

Troubleshoot

This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration. Refer to Troubleshooting the PIX to Pass Data Traffic on an Established IPsec Tunnel for more information.

Troubleshooting Commands

Note: Refer to Important Information on Debug Commands before you use debug commands.

debug Commands

Use these commands on the PIX, with the logging monitor debugging or logging console debugging commands running.

  • debug crypto ipsec—Debugs IPsec processing.

  • debug crypto isakmp—Debugs Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) processing.

  • debug crypto engine—Displays debug messages about crypto engines, which perform encryption and decryption.

clear Commands

In order to clear security associations (SAs), use these commands in the config mode of the PIX.

  • clear [crypto] ipsec sa—Deletes the active IPsec SAs. The keyword crypto is optional.

  • clear [crypto] isakmp sa—Deletes the active Internet Key Exchange (IKE) SAs. The keyword crypto is optional.

Note: For IPsec to work, you must have connectivity from tunnel endpoint to tunnel endpoint before you begin this configuration.
