Configuring IKEv2 Packet of Disconnect

The IKEv2 Remote Access Change of Authorization (CoA)—Packet of Disconnect feature terminates an active crypto IKEv2 session on Cisco supported devices.

Information About IKEv2 Packet of Disconnect

Disconnect Request

The Packet of Disconnect (POD) is a RADIUS disconnect_request packet and is intended to be used in situations where the authenticating agent server wants to disconnect a crypto session.

When the POD is Needed

The Packet of Disconnect is required in the following situations:

  • Enforce reauthentication—As a network administrator, you might want to terminate a user on FlexVPN server to forcefully reauthenticate if a session is connected for a very long duration.

  • Apply a new policy—As a network administrator, you may want to terminate an active crypto session and apply the new policy on the session when the client reconnects.

  • Free resources—A session may need to be terminated to free resources and exit rekey.

IKEv2 Packet of Disconnect

The IKEv2 Remote Access Change of Authorization (CoA)—Packet of Disconnect feature uses the RADIUS Packet of Disconnect (POD) feature to delete a crypto session. The crypto session is deleted to update VPN users to the new user or group policy on the AAA server.

  1. AAA passes the attribute key-value pair list, provided by the RADIUS server, to IKEv2.

  2. IKEv2 parses the list and locates the Audit-Session-ID, a Cisco AV pair, as a key and validates the pair value.

  3. IKEv2 searches the session and deletes the specific session.

  4. IKEv2 notifies AAA and AAA notifies the RADIUS server.

  5. The session pertaining to the Audit-Session-ID is deleted.

Parameters in IKEv2 Packet of Disconnect

RFC 3576 specifies the following POD codes that are supported for IKEv2 Packet of Disconnect:

  • 40 - Disconnect-Request

  • 41 - Disconnect-ACK

  • 42 - Disconnect-NAK

The Disconnect-ACK code indicates that a session existed for an audit-session-ID and that the session, pertaining to an audit-session-ID was terminated successfully. The Disconnect-NACK code indicates that there are no session corresponding to the audit-session-ID. No reply message is sent to the gateway.

How to Configure IKEv2 Packet of Disconnect

Configuring AAA on the FlexVPN Server

There is no IKEv2-specific configuration required on the FlexVPN server for the IKEv2 Remote Access Change of Authorization (CoA)—Packet of Disconnect feature. You only need to configure authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) on the FlexVPN server. For additional information on AAA configuration, see .

SUMMARY STEPS

  1. enable
  2. configure terminal
  3. aaa new-model
  4. aaa server radius dynamic-author
  5. client {hostname | ip-address} [server-key string | vrf vrf-id]
  6. port number
  7. end

DETAILED STEPS

  Command or Action Purpose

Step 1

enable

Example:

Device> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

  • Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal

Example:

Device# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

aaa new-model

Example:

Device(config)# aaa new-model

Enables AAA globally.

Step 4

aaa server radius dynamic-author

Example:

Sets up the local AAA server for the dynamic authorization service and enters dynamic authorization local server configuration mode.

  • In this mode, the RADIUS application commands are configured.

Step 5

client {hostname | ip-address} [server-key string | vrf vrf-id]

Example:

Device(config-locsvr-da-radius)# client 192.168.0.5 server-key cisco

Configures the IP address or hostname of the AAA server client.

  • Use the server-key keyword and string argument to configure the server key at the client level.

Note

 

Configuring the server key at the client level overrides the server key configured at the global level.

Step 6

port number

Example:

Device(config-locsvr-da-radius)# port 1812

Configures the UDP port.

Step 7

end

Example:

Device(config-locsvr-da-radius)# end

Exits dynamic authorization local server configuration mode and returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Configuration Examples for IKEv2 Packet of Disconnect

Example: Terminating an IKEv2 Session

The following is a sample output from the show aaa sessions command. This command must be executed to identify the IKEv2 session that needs to be terminated. 

Device# show aaa sessions 

Total sessions since last reload: 32
Session Id: 3
   Unique Id: 14
   User Name: *not available*
   IP Address: 0.0.0.0
   Idle Time: 0
   CT Call Handle: 0
Session Id: 30
   Unique Id: 41
   User Name: pskuser2.g1.engdt.com
   IP Address: 0.0.0.0
   Idle Time: 0
   CT Call Handle: 0
Session Id: 32
   Unique Id: 43
   User Name: pskuser4.g2.engdt.com
   IP Address: 0.0.0.0
   Idle Time: 0
   CT Call Handle: 0

In the above output, ID 41 and 43 pertain to IKEv2 sessions. Optionally, you can run the show aaa user command to view detailed information about the session. 

Device# show aaa user 41
