IPsec VPN Accounting

The IPsec VPN Accounting feature allows for a session to be accounted for by indicating when the session starts and when it stops.

A VPN session is defined as an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) security association (SA) and the one or more SA pairs that are created by the IKE SA. The session starts when the first IP Security (IPsec) pair is created and stops when all IPsec SAs are deleted.

Session identifying information and session usage information is passed to the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server through standard RADIUS attributes and vendor-specific attributes (VSAs).

Information About IPsec VPN Accounting

RADIUS Accounting

For many large networks, it is required that user activity be recorded for auditing purposes. The method that is used most is RADIUS accounting.

RADIUS accounting allows for a session to be accounted for by indicating when the session starts and when it stops. Additionally, session identifying information and session usage information is passed to the RADIUS server through RADIUS attributes and VSAs.

RADIUS Start Accounting

The RADIUS Start packet contains many attributes that generally identify who is requesting the service and of what the property of that service consists. The table below represents the attributes required for the start.

Table 1 RADIUS Accounting Start Packet Attributes

RADIUS Attributes

Value

Attribute

Description

1

user-name

Username used in extended authentication (XAUTH).The username may be NULL when XAUTH is not used.

4

nas-ip-address

Identifying IP address of the network access server (NAS) that serves the user. It should be unique to the NAS within the scope of the RADIUS server.

5

nas-port

Physical port number of the NAS that serves the user.

8

framed-ip-address

Private address allocated for the IP Security (IPsec) session.

40

acct-status-type

Status type. This attribute indicates whether this accounting request marks the beginning (start), the end (stop), or an update of the session.

41

acct-delay-time

Number of seconds the client has been trying to send a particular record.

44

acct-session-id

Unique accounting identifier that makes it easy to match start and stop records in a log file.

26

vrf-id

String that represents the name of the Virtual Route Forwarder (VRF).

26

isakmp-initiator-ip

Endpoint IP address of the remote Internet Key Exchange (IKE) initiator (V4).

26

isakmp-group-id

Name of the VPN group profile used for accounting.

26

isakmp-phase1-id

Phase 1 identification (ID) used by IKE (for example, domain name [DN], fully qualified domain name [FQDN], IP address) to help identify the session initiator.

RADIUS Stop Accounting

The RADIUS Stop packet contains many attributes that identify the usage of the session. Table 2 represents the additional attributes required for the RADIUS stop packet. It is possible that only the stop packet is sent without the start if configured to do so. If only the stop packet is sent, this allows an easy way to reduce the number of records going to the AAA server.

52

acct-output-gigawords

How many times the Acct-Input-Octets counter has wrapped around the 232 (2 to the 32nd power) over the course of this service.

RADIUS Update Accounting

RADIUS accounting updates are supported. Packet and octet counts are shown in the updates.

IKE and IPsec Subsystem Interaction

Accounting Start

If IPsec accounting is configured, after IKE phases are complete, an accounting start record is generated for the session. New accounting records are not generated during a rekeying.

The following is an account start record that was generated on a router and that is to be sent to the AAA server that is defined:

    Router# configure terminal
     

    Enters global configuration mode.

     
    Step 3 aaa new-model


    Example:
    Router (config)# aaa new-model
     

    Enables periodic interim accounting records to be sent to the accounting server.

     
    Step 4 aaa authentication login list-name method


    Example:
    Router (config)# aaa authentication login cisco-client group radius

    Step 7 aaa session-id common


    Example:
    Router (config)# aaa session-id common
     

    Specifies whether the same session ID is used for each AAA accounting service type within a call or whether a different session ID is assigned to each accounting service type.

     
    Step 8 crypto isakmp profile profile-name


    Example:
    Route (config)# crypto isakmp profile cisco
     

    Audits IP security (IPsec) user sessions and enters isakmp-profile submode.

     
    Step 9 vrf ivrf


    Example:
    Router (conf-isa-prof)# vrf cisco
     

    Associates the on-demand address pool with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF) instance name.

     
    Step 10 match identity group group-name


    Example:
    Router(conf-isa-prof)# match identity group cisco
     

    Matches an identity from a peer in an ISAKMP profile.

     
    Step 11 client authentication list list-name


    Example:
    Router(conf-isa-prof)# client authentication list cisco
     

    Configures Internet Key Exchange (IKE) extended authentication (XAUTH) in an Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) profile.

     
    Step 12 isakmp authorization list list-name


    Example:
    Router(conf-isa-prof)# isakmp authorization list cisco-client
     

    Configures an IKE shared secret and other parameters using the AAA server in an ISAKMP profile. The shared secret and other parameters are generally pushed to the remote peer through mode configuration (MODECFG).

     
    Step 13 client configuration address [initiate | respond]


    Example:
    Router(conf-isa-prof)# client configuration address respond
     

    Configures IKE mode configuration (MODECFG) in the ISAKMP profile.

     
    Step 14 accounting list-name


    Example:
    Router(conf-isa-prof)# accounting acc
     

    Enables AAA accounting services for all peers that connect through this ISAKMP profile.

     
    Step 15 exit


    Example:
    Router(conf-isa-prof)# exit
     

    Exits isakmp-profile submode.

     
    Step 16 crypto dynamic-map dynamic-map-name dynamic-seq-num


    Example:
    Router(config)# crypto dynamic-map mymap 10 ipsec-isakmp
     

    Creates a dynamic crypto map template and enters the crypto map configuration command mode.

     
    Step 17 set transform-set transform-set-name


    Example:
    Router(config-crypto-map)# set transform-set aswan
     

    Specifies which transform sets can be used with the crypto map template.

     
    Step 18 set isakmp-profile profile-name


    Example:
    Router(config-crypto-map)# set isakmp-profile cisco
     

    Sets the ISAKMP profile name.

     
    Step 19 reverse-route [remote-peer]


    Example:
    Router(config-crypto-map)# reverse-route
     

    Allows routes (ip addresses) to be injected for destinations behind the VPN remote tunnel endpoint and may include a route to the tunnel endpoint itself (using the remote-peer keyword for the crypto map.

     
    Step 20 exit


    Example:
    Router(config-crypto-map)# exit
     

    Exits dynamic crypto map configuration mode.

     
    Step 21 crypto map map-name ipsec-isakmp dynamic dynamic-template-name


    Example:
    Router(config)# crypto map mymap ipsec-isakmp dynamic dmap
     

    Enters crypto map configuration mode

     
    Step 22 radius-server host ip-address [auth-port port-number] [acct-port port-number]


    Example:
    Router(config)# radius-server host 172.16.1.4

    Configuring Accounting Updates

    To send accounting updates while a session is “up,” perform the following optional task:

    Before You Begin

    IPsec VPN accounting must be configured before accounting updates are configured. See Configuring IPsec VPN Accounting for more information.

    SUMMARY STEPS

      1.    enable

      2.    configure terminal

      3.    aaa accounting update periodic number


    DETAILED STEPS
       Command or ActionPurpose
      Step 1 enable


      Example:
      Router> enable
       

      Enables privileged EXEC mode.

      • Enter your password if prompted.

       
      Step 2 configure terminal


      Example:
      Router# configure terminal
       

      Enters global configuration mode.

       
      Step 3 aaa accounting update periodic number


      Example:
      Router (config)# aaa accounting update periodic 1-2147483647
       

      (Optional) Enables periodic interim accounting records to be sent to the accounting server.

       

      Troubleshooting for IPsec VPN Accounting

      To display messages about IPsec accounting events, perform the following optional task:

      SUMMARY STEPS

        1.    enable

        2.    debug crypto isakmp aaa


      DETAILED STEPS
         Command or ActionPurpose
        Step 1 enable


        Example:
        Router> enable
         

        Enables privileged EXEC mode.

        • Enter your password if prompted.

         
        Step 2 debug crypto isakmp aaa


        Example:
        Router# debug crypto isakmp aaa
         

        Displays messages about Internet Key Exchange (IKE) events.

        • The aaa keyword specifies accounting events.

        IPsec VPN Accounting

        Cisco IOS XE Release 2.1

        The IPsec VPN Accounting feature allows for a session to be accounted for by indicating when the session starts and when it stops.

        A VPN session is defined as an IKE SA and the one or more SA pairs that are created by the IKE SA. The session starts when the first IPsec pair is created and stops when all IPsec SAs are deleted.

        Session identifying information and session usage information is passed to the RADIUS server through standard RADIUS attributes and VSAs.

        The following commands were introduced or modified: client authentication list, client configuration address, crypto isakmp profile, crypto map (global IPsec), debug crypto isakmp, isakmp authorization list, match identity, set isakmp-profile, vrf.

        Glossary

        IKE --Internet Key Exchange. IKE establishes a shared security policy and authenticates keys for services (such as IP security [IPsec]) that require keys. Before any IPsec traffic can be passed, each router, firewall, and host must verify the identity of its peer. This can be done by manually entering preshared keys into both hosts or by a certification authority (CA) service.

        IPsec --IP security. IPsec is A framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity, and data authentication between participating peers. IPsec provides these security services at the IP layer. IPsec uses IKE to handle the negotiation of protocols and algorithms based on local policy and to generate the encryption and authentication keys to be used by IPsec. IPsec can protect one or more data flows between a pair of hosts, between a pair of security gateways, or between a security gateway and a host.

        ISAKMP --Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol. ISAKMP is an Internet IPsec protocol (RFC 2408) that negotiates, establishes, modifies, and deletes security associations. It also exchanges key generation and authentication data (independent of the details of any specific key generation technique), key establishment protocol, encryption algorithm, or authentication mechanism.

        L2TP session --Layer 2 Transport Protocol. L2TP are communications transactions between the L2TP access concentrator (LAC) and the L2TP network server (LNS) that support tunneling of a single PPP connection. There is a one-to-one relationship among the PPP connection, L2TP session, and L2TP call.

        NAS --network access server. A NAS is a Cisco platform (or collection of platforms, such as an AccessPath system) that interfaces between the packet world (for example, the Internet) and the circuit world (for example, the public switched telephone network [PSTN]).

        PFS --perfect forward secrecy. PFS is a cryptographic characteristic associated with a derived shared secret value. With PFS, if one key is compromised, previous and subsequent keys are not compromised because subsequent keys are not derived from previous keys.

        QM --Queue Manager. The Cisco IP Queue Manager (IP QM) is an intelligent, IP-based, call-treatment and routing solution that provides powerful call-treatment options as part of the Cisco IP Contact Center (IPCC) solution.

        RADIUS --Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. RADIUS is a database for authenticating modem and ISDN connections and for tracking connection time.

        RSA --Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman. Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman are the inventors of the Public-key cryptographic system that can be used for encryption and authentication.

        SA --security association. A SA is an instance of security policy and keying material that is applied to a data flow.

        TACACS+ --Terminal Access Controller Access Control System Plus. TACACS+ is a security application that provides centralized validation of users attempting to gain access to a router or network access server.

        VPN --Virtual Private Network. A VPN enables IP traffic to travel securely over a public TCP/IP network by encrypting all traffic from one network to another. A VPN uses "tunneling" to encrypt all information at the IP level.

        VRF --A VPN routing/forwarding instance. A VRF consists of an IP routing table, a derived forwarding table, a set of interfaces that use the forwarding table, and a set of rules and routing protocols that determine what goes into the forwarding table. In general, a VRF includes the routing information that defines a customer VPN site that is attached to a PE router.

        VSA --vendor-specific attribute. A VSA is an attribute that has been implemented by a particular vendor. It uses the attribute Vendor-Specific to encapsulate the resulting AV pair: essentially, Vendor-Specific = protocol:attribute = value.

        XAUTH --Extended authentication. XAUTH is an optional exchange between IKE Phase 1 and IKE Phase 2, in which the router demands additional authentication information in an attempt to authenticate the actual user (as opposed to authenticating the peer).
