Easy VPN Server

The Easy VPN Server feature introduces server support for the Cisco VPN Client Release 3.x and later software clients and Cisco VPN hardware clients (such as the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers). This feature allows a remote end user to communicate using IPsec with any Cisco IOS XE VPN gateway. Centrally managed IPsec policies are “pushed” to the client device by the server, minimizing configuration by the end user.

Restrictions for Easy VPN Server

Unsupported Protocols

The table below outlines IPsec protocol options and attributes that are not supported by Cisco VPN clients. These options and attributes should not be configured on the device for these clients.

Table 1 Unsupported IPsec Protocol Options and Attributes
Options	Attributes
Authentication types	Authentication with public key encryption Digital Signature Standard (DSS)
Diffie-Hellman (DH) groups	1
IPsec protocol identifier	IPSEC_AH
IPsec protocol mode	Transport mode
Miscellaneous	Manual keys Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS)

Cisco Secure VPN Client 1.x Restrictions

When used with the Easy VPN Server feature, the Cisco Secure VPN Client 1.x has the following restrictions:

It does not support dead peer detection (DPD) or any other keepalive scheme.
It does not support initial contact.
This feature cannot use per-group attribute policy profiles such as IP addresses and Domain Name Service (DNS). Thus, customers must continue to use the existing, globally defined parameters for the IP address assignment, Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), DNS, and preshared keys.

Multicast and Static NAT

Multicast and static Network Address Translation (NAT) are supported only for Easy VPN servers using dynamic virtual tunnel interfaces (DVTIs).

Virtual IPsec Interface Restrictions

The Virtual IPsec Interface Support feature works only with a Cisco software VPN Client version 4.x or later and an Easy VPN remote device that is configured to use a virtual interface.

Cisco Tunnel Control Protocol Restrictions

If a port is being used for Cisco Tunnel Control Protocol, the port cannot be used for other applications.
Cisco Tunnel Control Protocol can be used on only ten ports at a time.
Cisco Tunnel Control Protocol is supported on only Easy VPN servers.
If a Cisco Tunnel Control Protocol connection is set up on a port, Cisco Tunnel Control Protocol cannot be disabled on that port because doing so causes the existing connection to stop receiving traffic.
High Availability of Cisco Tunnel Control Protocol is not supported on the Easy VPN server.

Universal Client Mode

The Easy VPN Server feature does not support universal client mode using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

How It Works

When the client initiates a connection with a Cisco IOS XE VPN device, the “conversation” that occurs between the peers consists of device authentication via Internet Key Exchange (IKE), followed by user authentication using IKE Extended Authentication (Xauth), VPN policy push (using Mode Configuration), and IPsec security association (SA) creation. An overview of this process is as follows:

The client initiates IKE Phase 1 via aggressive mode (AM) if a preshared key is used for authentication. If the client identifies itself with a preshared key, the accompanying group name entered in the configuration GUI (ID_KEY_ID) is used to identify the group profile associated with this client. If digital certificates are used the client initiates main mode (MM). The organizational unit (OU) field of a distinguished name (DN) is used to identify the group profile when digital certificates are used.

Note

Because the client may be configured for preshared key authentication, which initiates IKE AM, it is recommended that the administrator change the identity of the VPN device via the crypto isakmp identity hostname command. This will not affect certificate authentication via IKE MM.

The client attempts to establish an IKE SA between its public IP address and the public IP address of the VPN device. To reduce the amount of manual configuration on the client, every combination of encryption and hash algorithms, in addition to authentication methods and DH group sizes, is proposed.
Depending on its IKE policy configuration, the VPN device will determine which proposal is acceptable to continue negotiating Phase 1.

Tip

IKE policy is global for the VPN device and can consist of several proposals. In the case of multiple proposals, the VPN device uses the first match, so you should always list your most secure policies first.

Note

Device authentication ends and user authentication begins at this point.

After the IKE SA is successfully established, and if the VPN device is configured for Xauth, the client waits for a “username/password” challenge and then responds to the challenge of the peer. The information that is entered is checked against authentication entities using authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) protocols such as RADIUS and TACACS+. Token cards may also be used via AAA proxy. During Xauth, it is also possible for a user-specific attribute to be retrieved if the credentials of that user are validated via RADIUS.

Note

VPN devices that are configured to handle remote clients should always be configured to enforce user authentication.

If the VPN device indicates that authentication was successful, the client requests further configuration parameters from the peer. The remaining system parameters (for example, IP address, DNS, and split tunnel attributes) are pushed to the client at this time using Mode Configuration.

Note

The IP address pool and group preshared key (if Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman [RSA] signatures are not being used) are the only required parameter in a group profile, all other parameters are optional.

After each client is assigned an internal IP address via Mode Configuration, it is important that the VPN device knows how to route packets through the appropriate VPN tunnel. Reverse route injection (RRI) ensures that a static route is created on the VPN device for each client internal IP address.

Note

It is recommended that you enable RRI on the crypto map (static or dynamic) for the support of VPN clients unless the crypto map is being applied to a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel that is already being used to distribute routing information.

After the configuration parameters have been successfully received by the client, IKE quick mode is initiated to negotiate IPsec SA establishment.
After IPsec SAs are created, the connection is complete.

RADIUS Support for Group Profiles

Group policy information is stored in a profile that can be defined locally in the router configuration or on a RADIUS server that is accessible by the VPN device. If RADIUS is used, you must configure access to the server and allow the VPN device to send requests to the server.

To define group policy attributes for RADIUS, you must do the following task on your RADIUS server:

Define a user that has a name equal to the group name as defined in the client GUI. For example, if users are connecting to the VPN device using the group name “sales,” you need a user whose name is “sales.” The password for this user is “cisco,” which is a special identifier that is used by the router for RADIUS purposes. The username must then be made a member of a group in which the correct policy is defined. For simplicity, it is recommended that the group name be the same as the username. Use the radius-server host ip-address [auth-port port-number] [acct-port port-number] [key string] command to configure access to the RADIUS server and allow the VPN device to send requests to the server. You need to configure this command only if you choose to store group policy information in a RADIUS server.

For a Cisco Secure Access Control Server
For All Other RADIUS Servers

For a Cisco Secure Access Control Server

If you are using a Cisco secure access control server (ACS), you may configure your remote access VPN group profiles on this server. To perform this task, you must ensure that IETF RADIUS attributes are selected for group configuration as shown in the figure below. (This figure also shows the compulsory attributes required for a remote access VPN group.) All values must be entered except the Tunnel-Password attribute, which is actually the preshared key for IKE purposes; if digital certificates are preferred, this attribute may be omitted.

Figure 1. IETF RADIUS Attributes Selection for Group Configuration

In addition to the compulsory attributes shown in the figure above, other values can be entered that represent the group policy that is pushed to the remote client via Mode Configuration. The figure below shows an example of a group policy. All attributes are optional except the addr-pool, key-exchange=preshared-key, and key-exchange=ike attributes. The values of the attributes are the same as the setting that is used if the policy is defined locally on the router rather than in a RADIUS server. These values are explained in the section “Defining Group Policy Information for Mode Configuration Push”.

Figure 2. CiscoSecure ACS Group Policy Setup

After the group profile is created, a user who is a member of the group should be added. (Remember that the username that is defined maps to the group name as defined on the remote client, and the password defined for the username in the RADIUS database must be “cisco.”) If digital certificates are the preferred method of IKE authentication, the username should reflect the OU field in the certificate presented by the remote client.

For All Other RADIUS Servers

Ensure that your RADIUS server allows you to define attribute-value (AV) pairs. For an example, see the section “Example Configuring Cisco IOS XE for Easy VPN Server”.

Note

If digital certificates are used, the username defined in RADIUS must be equal to the OU field of the DN of the certificate of the client.

RADIUS Support for User Profiles

Attributes may also be applied on a per-user basis. If you apply attributes on a per-user basis, you can override a group attribute value with an individual user attribute. The attributes are retrieved at the time the user authentication via Xauth occurs. The attributes are then combined with group attributes and applied during Mode Configuration.

User-based attributes are available only if RADIUS is being used for user authentication.

To define user policy attributes for RADIUS, you must do the following task on your RADIUS server:

Define a user or add attributes to the existing profile of a user in your RADIUS database. The password for the user will be used during Xauth user authentication, or you may proxy to a third-party server, such as a token card server.

The figure below shows how CiscoSecure ACS may be used for user authentication and for the assignment of a Framed-IP-Address attribute that may be pushed to the client. The presence of this attribute means that the local address pool defined for the group to which that user belongs will be overridden.

Figure 3. CiscoSecure ACS User Profile Setup

For All Other RADIUS Servers

For All Other RADIUS Servers

Ensure that your RADIUS server allows you to define AV pairs. For an example, see the “Example Configuring Cisco IOS XE for Easy VPN Server” section.

Mode Configuration Version 6 Support

Mode Configuration version 6 is supported for more attributes (as described in an IETF draft submission).

Xauth Version 6 Support

Cisco IOS XE software has been enhanced to support version 6 of Xauth. Xauth for user authentication is based on an IETF draft submission.

IKE Dead Peer Detect

The client implements a new keepalives scheme--IKE DPD.

DPD allows two IPsec peers to determine whether the other is still “alive” during the lifetime of a VPN connection. DPD is useful because a host may reboot, or the dialup link of a remote user may disconnect without notifying the peer that the VPN connection is terminated. When an IPsec host determines that a VPN connection no longer exists, the host can notify a user, attempt to switch to another IPsec host, or clean up valuable resources that were allocated for the peer that no longer exists.

A VPN device can be configured to send and reply to DPD messages. DPD messages are sent if no other traffic is being passed through the VPN tunnel. If a configured amount of time has lapsed since the last inbound data was received, DPD will send a message (“DPD R-U-THERE”) the next time it sends outbound IPsec data to the peer. DPD messages are unidirectional and are automatically sent by Cisco VPN clients. DPD must be configured on the router only if there is a need to send DPD messages to the VPN client to determine the health of the client.

The crypto isakmp keepalive seconds [retries] command allows the gateway to send DPD messages to the router. The seconds argument specifies the number of seconds between DPD messages (the range is from 1 to 3600 seconds); the retries argument specifies the number of seconds between retries if DPD messages fail (the range is from 2 to 60 seconds).

Split Tunneling Control

Remote clients can support split tunneling, which enables a client to have intranet and Internet access at the same time. If split tunneling is not configured, the client will direct all traffic through the tunnel, even traffic destined for the Internet.

Note

The split tunnel access control list (ACL) has a limit of 50 access control entries (ACEs). If more than 50 ACEs are configured in a split tunnel ACL, only the first 50 ACEs are considered. These ACEs are sent to the client during Mode Configuration.

Note

For network extension mode, the dynamic NAT rule is not inserted by EZVPN client when a duplicate split tunnel (ACE has same source address but different destination address) entry is pushed from EZVPN server for network extension mode.

Initial Contact

If a client is suddenly disconnected, the gateway may not be notified. Consequently, removal of connection information (IKE and IPsec SAs) for that client will not immediately occur. If the client attempts to reconnect to the gateway again, the gateway will refuse the connection because the previous connection information is still valid.

To avoid such a scenario, a new capability called initial contact has been introduced; it is supported by all Cisco VPN products. If a client or router is connecting to another Cisco gateway for the first time, an initial contact message is sent that tells the receiver to ignore and delete any old connection information that has been maintained for the newly connecting peer. Initial contact ensures that connection attempts are not refused because of SA synchronization problems, which are often identified via invalid security parameter index (SPI) messages and which require devices to have their connections cleared.

Group-Based Policy Control

Policy attributes such as IP addresses, DNS, and split tunnel access can be provided on a per-group or per-user basis.

User-Based Policy Control

Attributes may also be applied on a per-user basis. You can override a group attribute value with an individual user attribute. The attributes are retrieved at the time when user authentication via Xauth occurs. They are then combined with group attributes and applied during Mode Configuration.

Attributes can be applied on a per-user basis after the user has been authenticated. These attributes can override any similar group attributes. User-based attributes are available only if RADIUS is used as the database.

Framed-IP-Address
DHCP Client Proxy
User-Save-Password
User-Include-Local-LAN
User-VPN-Group
Group-Lock
How It works

Framed-IP-Address

To select the Framed-IP-Address attribute for CiscoSecure for NT, do the following:

Under the user profile, choose the “use this IP address” option under addressing and manually enter the address. (You should check the method of configuring a framed IP address with your own RADIUS server because this procedure will vary.)

Note

If a framed IP address is present, and there is also a local pool address configured for the group that the user belongs to, the framed IP address will override the local pool setting.

DHCP Client Proxy

Easy VPN servers currently assign an IP address to a remote device using either a local pool that is configured on the router or the framed IP address attribute that is defined in RADIUS. The DHCP Client Proxy feature provides the option of configuring an Easy VPN server to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. The IP address is pushed to the remote device using Mode Configuration.

Note

This feature does not include the functionality for the DHCP server to push the DNS, WINS server, or domain name to the remote client.

To configure DHCP Client Proxy, see the section “Configuring an Easy VPN Server to Obtain an IP Address from a DHCP Server.”

Benefits of DHCP Client Proxy

The functionality provided with this feature helps in the creation of dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) entries when a DNS server exists in conjunction with the DHCP server.
The user is not restricted to IP address pools.

User-Save-Password

As per the group description, the User-Save-Password attribute can be received in addition to the group variant (Save-Password), but if it is received, it will override the value asserted by the group.

The following is sample output of a RADIUS AV pair for the User-Save-Password attribute:

ipsec:user-save-password=1

User-Include-Local-LAN

As per the group description, the User-Include-Local-LAN attribute can be received in addition to the group variant (Include-Local-LAN), but if it is received, it will override the value asserted by the group.

The following is sample output of a RADIUS AV pair for the User-Include-Local LAN attribute:

ipsec:user-include-local-lan=1

User-VPN-Group

The User-VPN-Group attribute is a replacement for the Group-Lock attribute. It allows support for both preshared key and RSA signature authentication mechanisms such as certificates.

If you need to check that the group a user is attempting to connect to is indeed the group the user belongs to, use the User-VPN-Group attribute. The administrator sets this attribute to a string, which is the group that the user belongs to. The group the user belongs to is matched against the VPN group as defined by group name (ID_KEY_ID) for preshared keys or by the OU field of a certificate. If the groups do not match, the client connection is terminated.

This feature works only with AAA RADIUS. Local Xauth authentication must still use the Group-Lock attribute.

The following is sample output of a RADIUS AV pair for the Use-VPN-Group attribute:

ipsec:user-vpn-group=cisco

Group-Lock

If you are only using preshared keys (no certificates or other RSA signature authentication mechanisms) with RADIUS or local AAA, you can continue to use the Group-Lock attribute. If you are only using preshared keys (no certificates or other RSA signature authentication mechanisms) with RADIUS, you can either continue to use the Group-Lock attribute or you can use the new User-VPN-Group attribute.

How It works

The group lock feature allows you to perform an extra authentication check during Xauth. With this feature enabled, the user must enter a username, group name, and user password during Xauth to authenticate. The username and group name can be entered in any of the following formats: “username/group name,” “username\group name,” “username%group name,” or “username group name.” The group name entered during Xauth is compared by the server with the group name sent for the preshared key device authentication. If they do not match, the server denies the connection. To enable this feature, use the group-lock command for the group.

Cisco IOS XE software does not strip the @group from the Xauth username, so the username user@group must exist in the local or external AAA database pointed to by the Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) profile selected at Phase 1 (machine group authentication).

Caution

Do not use the Group-Lock attribute if you are using RSA signature authentication mechanisms such as certificates. Use the User-VPN-Group attribute instead. The User-VPN-Group attribute is recommended regardless of whether preshared keys or RSA signature is used as the method of authentication when an external AAA database is used.

Session Monitoring for VPN Group Access

It is possible to mimic the functionality provided by some RADIUS servers for limiting the maximum number of connections to a specific server group and also for limiting the number of simultaneous logins for users in that group. After user-defined thresholds are defined in each VPN group, connections will be denied until counts drop below these thresholds.

If you use a RADIUS server, such as CiscoSecure ACS, it is recommended that you enable this session control on the RADIUS server if the functionality is provided. In this way, usage can be controlled across a number of servers by one central repository. When enabling this feature on the router itself, only connections to groups on that specific device are monitored. Load-sharing scenarios are not accurately accounted for.

To configure session monitoring, use the crypto isakmp client configuration groupcommand in global configuration mode and the max-users and max-logins commands in crypto ISAKMP group configuration mode.

The following is sample output of RADIUS AV pairs that have been added to the relevant group:

ipsec:max-users=1000
ipsec:max-logins=1

Virtual IPsec Interface Support on a Server

Virtual IPsec Interface Support on a Server allows you to selectively send traffic to different Easy VPN concentrators (servers) as well as to the Internet.

With the Virtual IPsec Interface Support on a Server feature, the tunnel-up configuration can be applied to separate interfaces, making it easier to support separate features at tunnel-up. Features that are applied to the traffic going into the tunnel can be separate from the features that are applied to traffic that is not going through the tunnel (for example, split-tunnel traffic and traffic leaving the device when the tunnel is not up). When the Easy VPN negotiation is successful, the line protocol state of the virtual-access interface gets changed to up. When the Easy VPN tunnel goes down because the SA expires or is deleted, the line protocol state of the virtual-access interfaces changes to down.

Note

This feature does not support multicast.

Virtual Tunnel Interface Per-User Attribute Support

The Virtual Tunnel Interface provides per-user attribute support for Easy VPN servers.

For more information about this feature, see the IPsec Virtual Tunnel Interface feature.

Attributes To Support Management of Easy VPN Remote Devices

The following features provide support for attributes that aid in the management of the Cisco Easy VPN remote device.

Banner
Auto-Update
Browser Proxy

Banner

An Easy VPN server can be configured to push the banner to the Easy VPN remote device. A banner is needed for the web-based activation feature. The banner is displayed when the Easy VPN tunnel is up on the Easy VPN remote console or as an HTML page in the case of web-based activation.

Auto-Update

You can configure an Easy VPN server to provide an automated mechanism for software and firmware upgrades on an Easy VPN remote device. Use the crypto isakmp client configuration groupcommand to specify the group to which a policy profile should be defined and to enter crypto ISAKMP group configuration mode. To configure auto-update parameters for an Easy VPN remote device, use the auto-update client command in crypto ISAKMP group configuration mode.

Browser Proxy

You can configure an Easy VPN server so that an Easy VPN remote device can access resources on the corporate network. Using this feature, you do not have to manually modify the proxy settings of the web browser when connecting to the corporate network using Cisco VPN Client or manually revert the proxy settings upon disconnecting.

Use the crypto isakmp client configuration browser-proxy command in global configuration mode to configure browser-proxy parameters for an Easy VPN remote device. Use the proxy command in ISAKMP browser proxy configuration mode to configure proxy parameters for an Easy VPN remote device.

Configuration Management Enhancements

Pushing a Configuration URL Through a Mode-Configuration Exchange
After the Configuration Has Been Acquired by the Easy VPN Remote Device
How to Configure This Feature

Pushing a Configuration URL Through a Mode-Configuration Exchange

When remote devices connect to a corporate gateway for creating an IPsec VPN tunnel, some policy and configuration information has to be applied to the remote device when the VPN tunnel is active to allow the remote device to become a part of the corporate VPN.

The Pushing a Configuration URL Through a Mode-Configuration Exchange feature provides for a mode-configuration attribute that “pushes” a URL from the concentrator (server) to the Easy VPN remote device. The URL contains the configuration information that the remote device has to download and apply to the running configuration, and it contains the Cisco IOS XE CLI listing. (For more information about a Cisco IOS XE CLI listing, see Cisco IOS XE documentation for the configuration url command.) The CLI for this feature is configured on the concentrator.

The configuration that is pushed to the remote device is persistent by default. That is, the configuration is applied when the IPsec tunnel is “up,” but it is not withdrawn when the IPsec tunnel goes “down.” However, it is possible to write a section of the configuration that is transient in nature, in which case the configuration of the section is reverted when the tunnel is disconnected.

There are no restrictions on where the configuration distribution server is physically located. However, Cisco recommends that you use a secure protocol such as Secure HTTP (HTTPS) to retrieve the configuration. The configuration server can be located in the corporate network and because the transfer happens through the IPsec tunnel, insecure access protocols (HTTP) can be used.

Regarding backward compatibility--the remote device asks for the CONFIGURATION-URL and CONFIGURATION-VERSION attributes. Because the CONFIGURATION-URL and CONFIGURATION-VERSION attributes are not mandatory attributes, the server sends them only if these attributes are configured for the group. There is no built-in restriction to push the configuration. However, bootstrap configurations (such as, for the IP address) cannot be sent because those configurations are required to set up the Easy VPN tunnel, and the CONFIGURATION-URL comes into effect only after the Easy VPN tunnel comes up.

After the Configuration Has Been Acquired by the Easy VPN Remote Device

After the configuration has been acquired by the Easy VPN remote device, the remote device sends a new ISAKMP notification to the Easy VPN server. The notification contains several manageability information messages about the client (remote device). The Easy VPN server takes two actions when this information is received:

The Easy VPN server caches the information in its peer database. The information can be displayed by using the show crypto isakmp peer config command. This command output displays all manageability information that is sent by the client (remote device).
If accounting is enabled, the Easy VPN server sends an accounting update record that contains the manageability information messages about the remote device to the accounting RADIUS server. This accounting update is later available in the accounting log of the RADIUS server.

How to Configure This Feature

The commands that are used to configure this feature and the attributes, CONFIGURATION-URL and CONFIGURATION-VERSION are described in the crypto isakmp client configuration group command documentation.

Per User AAA Download with PKI

With the Support of Per User AAA Download with public key infrastructure (PKI) feature, user attributes are obtained from the AAA server and pushed to the remote device through Mode Configuration. The username that is used to get the attributes is retrieved from the remote device certificate.

Per-User Attribute Support for Easy VPN Servers

The Per-User Attribute Support for Easy VPN Servers feature provides users with the ability to support per-user attributes on Easy VPN servers. These attributes are applied on the virtual access interface.

Local Easy VPN AAA Server
Remote Easy VPN AAA Server
Per-User Attributes

Local Easy VPN AAA Server

For a local Easy VPN AAA server, the per-user attributes can be applied at the group level or at the user level using the CLI.

To configure per-user attributes for a local Easy VPN server, see “Configuring Per-User Attributes on a Local Easy VPN AAA Server” section.

Remote Easy VPN AAA Server

AV pairs can be defined on a remote Easy VPN AAA server as shown in this example:

cisco-avpair = “ip:outacl#101=permit tcp any any established

Per-User Attributes

The following per-user attributes are defined in the AAA server and are applicable to IPsec:

inacl
interface-config
outacl
policy-route
prefix
route
rte-fltr-in
rte-fltr-out
sub-policy-In
sub-policy-Out

Easy VPN Syslog Messages

Along with the ezvpn_connection_up and ezvpn_connection_down syslog messages, the following syslog messages are supported:

Authentication Passed
Authentication Rejected
- Group Lock Enabled
- Incorrect Username or Password
- Max Users exceeded/Max Logins exceeded
- No. of Retries exceeded
Authentication Failed (AAA Not Contactable)
IP Pool Not present/No Free IP Address available in the pool
ACL associated with Ezvpn policy but NOT defined (hence, no split tunneling possible)
Save password Turned ON
Incorrect firewall record being sent by Client (incorrect vendor | product | capability)
Authentication Rejected
- Access restricted via incoming interface
- Group does not exist

To enable Easy VPN syslog messages on a server, use the crypto logging ezvpn [group group-name]command. If a group name is not provided, syslog messages are enabled for all Easy VPN connections to the server. If a group name is provided, syslog messages are enabled for that particular group only.

Network Admission Control Support for Easy VPN

Network Admission Control provides a way to determine whether a PC client should be allowed to connect to the LAN. Network Admission Control uses Extensible Authentication Protocol over UDP (EAPoUDP) to query the Cisco trust agent on the PC and allows a PC to access the network if the client status is healthy. Different policies can be applied on the server to deny or limit access of PCs that are infected.

Network Admission Control can be used to monitor the status of remote PC clients as well. After the Easy VPN tunnel comes up and the PC starts to send traffic, the traffic is intercepted at the Easy VPN server, and the posture validation process starts. The posture validation process consists of sending an EAPoUDP request over the Easy VPN tunnel and querying the Cisco trust agent. The authentication server is configured inside the trusted network, behind the IPsec aggregation.

The configuration of an Easy VPN server that has Network Admission Control enabled is shown in the Example Network Admission Control.

Central Policy Push Firewall Policy Push

The Easy VPN server supports Central Policy Push (CPP) Firewall Policy Push. This feature allows administrators to push policies that enforce security to the Cisco Easy VPN (software) client and related firewall software.

A split tunnel enables access to corporate networks, but it also allows a remote device to be exposed to attacks from the Internet. This feature enables the server to determine whether to allow or deny a tunnel if the remote device does not have a required firewall, thereby reducing exposure to attacks.

The following firewall types are supported:

Cisco-Integrated-firewall (central-policy-push)
Cisco-Security-Agent (check-presence)
Zonelabs-Zonealarm (both)
Zonelabs-ZonealarmPro (both)

The server can be used either to check the presence of a firewall on the client (remote device) using the check-presence option or to specify the specifics of the firewall policies that must be applied by the client using the central-policy-push.

To enable this feature, see the section Configuring a Central Policy Push Firewall.

Syslog Support for CPP Firewall Policy Push

Syslog Support for CPP Firewall Policy Push

Syslog support can be enabled by using the crypto logging ezvpn command on your router. CPP syslog messages will be printed for the following error conditions:

If a policy is configured on a group configuration (using the firewall policy command), but a global policy with the same name is not defined (using the crypto isakmp client firewall command). The syslog message is as follows:

Policy enabled on group configuration but not defined

Tunnel setup proceeds as normal (with the firewall).

If an incorrect firewall request (vendor/product/cap incorrect order) is received, the syslog message is as follows:

Incorrect firewall record received from client

If a policy mismatch occurs between the Cisco VPN client and the server, the syslog is as follows:

CPP policy mismatch between client and headend

Password Aging

If you have configured the Password Aging feature, the Easy VPN client is notified when a password has expired, and you are prompted to enter a new password. To configure the Password Aging feature, see the section “Configuring Password Aging.”

For more information about Password Aging, see the reference for “Password Aging” in the section Related Documents.

Split DNS

The Split DNS feature enables the Easy VPN hardware client to use primary and secondary DNS values to resolve DNS queries. These values are pushed by the Easy VPN server to the Easy VPN remote device. To configure this feature on your server, use the split-dns command (see the section “ Defining Group Policy Information for Mode Configuration Push ”). Configuring this command adds the split-dns attribute to the policy group. The attribute will include the list of domain names that you configured. All other names will be resolved using the public DNS server.

For more information about configuring split DNS, see “Configuring Split and Dynamic DNS on the Cisco VPN 3000 ” at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/471/dns_split_dynam.pdf.

VRF Assignment by a AAA Server

To assign VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) to Easy VPN users, enable the following attributes on a AAA server:

Cisco-avpair “ip:interface-config=ip vrf forwarding example1”
Cisco-avpair “ip:interface-config=ip unnumbered loopback10”

(Optional) Defines local users for Xauth if RADIUS or TACACS+ is not used.

Note

Use this command only if no external validation repository will be used.

Defining Group Policy Information for Mode Configuration Push

Although users can belong to only one group per connection, they may belong to specific groups with different policy requirements. Thus, users may decide to connect to the client using a different group ID by changing their client profile on the VPN device. To define the policy attributes that are pushed to the client via Mode Configuration, perform the following task.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. crypto isakmp client configuration group {group-name | default}

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

crypto isakmp client configuration group {group-name | default}

Example:

Router(config)# crypto isakmp client configuration group group1

Specifies the policy profile of the group that will be defined and enters ISAKMP group configuration mode.

If no specific group matches and a default group is defined, users will automatically be given the policy of a default group.

Step 4

key name

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# key group1

Specifies the IKE preshared key for group policy attribute definition.

Note

This command must be enabled if the client identifies itself with a preshared key.

Step 5

dns primary-server [secondary-server]

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# dns 10.2.2.2 10.3.3.3

(Optional) Specifies the primary and secondary DNS servers for the group.

Step 7

domain name

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# domain domain.com

(Optional) Specifies the DNS domain to which a group belongs.

Step 8

pool name

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# pool pool1

Defines a local pool address.

Although a user must define at least one pool name, a separate pool may be defined for each group policy.

Note

This command must be defined and refer to a valid IP local pool address or the client connection will fail.

Step 9

netmask name

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# netmask 255.255.255.255

(Optional) Specifies the subnet mask to be downloaded to the client for local connectivity.

Note

Some VPN clients use the default mask for their particular classes of address. However, for a router, the host-based mask is typically used (/32). If you want to override the default mask, use the netmask command.

Step 10

acl number

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# acl 199

(Optional) Configures split tunneling.

The number argument specifies a group of ACL rules that represent protected subnets for split tunneling purposes.

Step 11

access-restrict {interface-name}

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# access-restrict fastethernet0/0

Restricts clients in a group to an interface.

Step 12

firewall policy policy-name

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# firewall policy policy1

(Optional) Specifies a firewall policy.

Step 13

group-lock

Router(config-isakmp-group)# group-lock

Enforces the group lock feature.

Step 14

include-local-lan

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# include-local-lan

(Optional) Configures the Include-Local-LAN attribute to allow a nonsplit-tunneling connection to access the local subnetwork at the same time as the client.

Step 15

save-password

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# save-password

(Optional) Saves your Xauth password locally on your PC.

Step 16

backup-gateway ipaddress

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# backup-gateway 10.1.1.1

(Optional) Rather than have backup gateways added to client configurations manually, it is possible to have the server “push down” a list of backup gateways to the client device.

These gateways are tried sequentially when a previous gateway fails. You can specify the gateways using IP addresses or host names.

Step 17

pfs

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# pfs

(Optional) Notifies the client of the central-site policy regarding whether PFS is required for any IPsec SA.

Because the client device does not have a user interface option to enable or disable PFS negotiation, the server will notify the client device of the central site policy using this parameter. The DH group that is proposed for PFS will be the same that was negotiated in Phase 1 of the IKE negotiation.

Enabling VPN Session Monitoring

Configuring an Easy VPN Server to Obtain an IP Address from a DHCP Server

When the Easy VPN server selects the method for address assignment, it does so in the following order of precedence:

Selects the framed IP address.
Uses the IP address from the authentication server (group/user).
Uses the global IKE address pools.
Uses DHCP.

Note

To enable the Easy VPN server to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, remove other address assignments.

To configure an Easy VPN server to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server, perform the following task.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. crypto isakmp client configuration group group-name

4. dhcp server {ip-address | hostname}

5. dhcp timeout time

6. dhcp giaddr ip-address

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

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

crypto isakmp client configuration group group-name

Example:

Router(config)# crypto isakmp client configuration group group1

Specifies to which group a policy profile will be defined.

Note

Entering this command places the CLI in ISAKMP group configuration mode. From this mode, you can use subcommands to specify characteristics for the group policy.

Step 4

dhcp server {ip-address | hostname}

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# dhcp server 10.10.1.2

Specifies a primary (and backup) DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to users entering a particular public data network (PDN) access point.

Step 5

dhcp timeout time

Example:

Router(config-isakmp-group)# dhcp timeout 6

Sets the wait time in seconds before the next DHCP server on the list is tried.

Step 6

dhcp giaddr ip-address

Example:

Router (config-isakmp-group)# dhcp giaddr 10.1.1.4

Specifies the giaddr for the DHCP scope.

Verifying and Monitoring DHCP Client Proxy

To verify and monitor your DHCP client proxy configuration, perform the following task.

Note

You can use the show and debugcommands in any order.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. show dhcp lease

3. show ip dhcp pool

4. show ip dhcp binding

5. debug crypto isakmp

6. debug dhcp

7. debug dhcp detail

8. debug ip dhcp server events

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

show dhcp lease

Example:

Router# show dhcp lease

Displays information about the DHCP address pools.

Note

Use this command when an external DHCP is used.

Step 3

show ip dhcp pool

Example:

Router# show ip dhcp pool

Displays information about the DHCP address pools.

Note

This command is applicable only when the Easy VPN server is also the DHCP server (generally not the case because in most cases, the DHCP server is an external server).

Step 4

show ip dhcp binding

Example:

Router# show ip dhcp binding

Displays address bindings on the DHCP server.

Note

This command is applicable only when the Easy VPN server is also the DHCP server (generally not the case because in most cases, the DHCP server is an external server).

Step 5

debug crypto isakmp

Example:

Router# debug crypto isakmp

Displays messages about IKE events.

Step 6

debug dhcp

Example:

Router# debug dhcp

Reports server events, like address assignments and database updates.

Step 7

debug dhcp detail

Example:

Router# debug dhcp detail

Displays detailed DHCP debugging information.

Step 8

debug ip dhcp server events

Example:

Router# debug ip dhcp server events

Reports server events, like address assignments and database updates.

Note

This command is applicable only when the Easy VPN server is also the DHCP server (generally not the case because in most cases, the DHCP server is an external server).

Example RADIUS Group Profile with IPsec AV Pairs

The following example shows a standard RADIUS group profile that includes RADIUS IPsec AV pairs. To get the group authorization attributes, “cisco” must be used as the password.

client_r Password = "cisco"
 Service-Type = Outbound
       
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:tunnel-type*ESP"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:key-exchange=ike"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:tunnel-password=lab"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:addr-pool=pool1"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:default-domain=cisco"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:inacl=101"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:access-restrict=fastethernet 0/0"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:group-lock=1"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:dns-servers=10.1.1.1 10.2.2.2"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:firewall=1"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:include-local-lan=1"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:save-password=1"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:wins-servers=10.3.3.3 10.4.4.4"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:split-dns=green.com"
 cisoc-avpair = "ipsec:ipsec-backup-gateway=10.1.1.1"
 cisoc-av5pair = "ipsec:ipsec-backup-gateway=10.1.1.2"
 cisoc-avpair = "ipsec:pfs=1"
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:cpp-policy="Enterprise Firewall"
 cisco-avpair = “ipsec:auto-update=”Win http://example.com 4.0.1”
 cisco-avpair = “ipsec:browser-proxy=bproxy_profile_A”
 cisco-avpair = "ipsec:banner=Xauth banner text here"

The following example shows a RADIUS user profile that is set up for a group that has group-lock configured. The user name is entered in the same format as the user@domain format.

abc@example.com Password = "abcll1111"
cisco-avpair = "ipsec:user-include-local-lan=1"
cisco-avpair = "ipsec:user-save-password=1"
Framed-IP-Address = 10.10.10.10

Example RADIUS User Profile with IPsec AV Pairs

The following example shows a standard RADIUS user profile that includes RADIUS IPsec AV pairs. These user attributes will be obtained during Xauth.

ualluall Password = "uall1234"
        cisco-avpair = "ipsec:user-vpn-group=unity"
        cisco-avpair = "ipsec:user-include-local-lan=1"
        cisco-avpair = "ipsec:user-save-password=1"
        Framed-IP-Address = 10.10.10.10

Example Backup Gateway with Maximum Logins and Maximum Users

The following example shows that five backup gateways have been configured, that the maximum users have been set to 250, and that maximum logins have been set to 2:

crypto isakmp client configuration group sdm

Example Network Admission Control

The following example shows that an Easy VPN server that has been enabled with Network Admission Control.

Note

Network Admission Control is supported on an Easy VPN server only when the server uses IPsec virtual interfaces. Network Admission Control is enabled on the virtual template interface and applies to all PC clients that use this virtual template interface.

! Note 1: EAPoUDP packets will use the IP address of the loopback interface when sending the EAPoUDP hello to the Easy VPN client. Using the IP address ensures that the returning EAPoUDP packets come back encrypted and are associated with the correct virtual access interface. The ip admission (ip admission source-interface Loopback10) command is optional. Instead of using this command, you can specify the IP address of the virtual template to be an address in the inside network space as shown in the configuration of the virtual template below in Note 2.

Glossary

AAA--authentication, authorization, and accounting. Framework of security services that provides the method for identifying users (authentication), for remote access control (authorization), and for collecting and sending security server information used for billing, auditing, and reporting (accounting).

aggressive mode (AM)--Mode during Internet Key Exchange negotiation. Compared to main mode (MM), AM eliminates several steps, which makes it faster but less secure than MM. Cisco IOS XE software will respond in aggressive mode to an IKE peer that initiates aggressive mode.

AV pair--attribute-value pair. Additional authentication and authorization information in the following format: Cisco:AVPair=“protocol:attribute=value”.

IKE--Internet Key Exchange. Hybrid protocol that implements Oakley key exchange and Skeme key exchange inside the ISAKMP framework. Although IKE can be used with other protocols, its initial implementation is with IPsec. IKE provides authentication of the IPsec peers, negotiates IPsec keys, and negotiates IPsec security associations.

IPsec--IP Security Protocol. 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 negotiation of protocols and algorithms based on local policy and to generate the encryption and authentication keys to be used by IPsec. IPsec can be used to 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 Key Management Protocol. Protocol framework that defines payload formats, the mechanics of implementing a key exchange protocol, and the negotiation of a security association.

MM--main mode. Mode that is slower than aggressive mode but more secure and more flexible than aggressive mode because it can offer an IKE peer more security proposals. The default action for IKE authentication (Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman signature (rsa-sig), RSA encryption (rsa-encr), or preshared) is to initiate main mode.

policy push --Allows administrators to push policies that enforce security to the Cisco Easy VPN (software) Client and related firewall software.

reverse route injection (RRI)--Simplified network design for VPNs on which there is a requirement for redundancy or load balancing. RRI works with both dynamic and static crypto maps.

In the dynamic case, as remote peers establish IPsec security associations with an RRI enabled router, a static route is created for each subnet or host protected by that remote peer. For static crypto maps, a static route is created for each destination of an extended access-list rule.

SA--security association. Description of how two or more entities will utilize security services to communicate securely. For example, an IPsec SA defines the encryption algorithm (if used), the authentication algorithm, and the shared session key to be used during the IPsec connection.

Both IPsec and IKE require and use SAs to identify the parameters of their connections. IKE can negotiate and establish its own SA. The IPsec SA is established either by IKE or by manual user configuration.

VPN --Virtual Private Network. Framework that consists of multiple peers transmitting private data securely to one another over an otherwise public infrastructure. In this framework, inbound and outbound network traffic is protected using protocols that tunnel and encrypt all data. This framework permits networks to extend beyond their local topology, while remote users are provided with the appearance and functionality of a direct network connection.
