How do I enable IPsec IKEv2 on ASA?

To enable IPsec IKEv2, you must configure the IKEv2 settings on the ASA and also configure IKEv2 as the primary protocol in the client profile. The IKEv2enabled profile must be deployed to the endpoint computer, otherwise the client attempts to connect using SSL. !

How can I optimize the performance of the Asav virtual firewall?

The best way to maximize the performance of a remote access VPN termination is to make the ASA a dedicated remote access VPN termination. The performance of the ASAv virtual firewall changes depending on the performance of the installed server. For high-end models such as ASA5585 and FPR4100, SSL processing of the engine can be optimized.

How to install an IPsec certificate on ASA interface?

The Server address is the IKEv2 enabled ASA interface IP address. For the IPSec user certificate and IPSec CA certificate select the certificates installed by tapping on the dropdown menus. Leave the IPSec server certificate with the default option, Received from server.

What is the new network interface detected by the ASA?

Description : A new network interface has been detected. XML profile is loaded onto the client. Since the client now has an IP address from the ASA, the client proceeds to activate the VPN adapter.

How does remote access VPN Work?

A remote access VPN works by creating a virtual tunnel between an employee's device and the company's network. This tunnel goes through the public internet but the data sent back and forth through it is protected by encryption and security protocols to help keep it private and secure.

Introduction

This document describes how to understand debugs on the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) when Internet Key Exchange Version 2 (IKEv2) is used with a Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client. This document also provides information on how to translate certain debug lines in an ASA configuration.

Prerequisites

Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of the packet exchange for IKEv2. For more information, refer to IKEv2 Packet Exchange and Protocol Level Debugging.

Core Issue

The Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) often uses IKE and IPSec debug commands in order to understand where there is a problem with IPSec VPN tunnel establishment, but the commands can be cryptic.

Debug Logs and Descriptions

Note: Logs from the Diagnostics and Reporting Tool (DART) are generally very chatty, so certain DART logs have been omitted in this example due to insignificance.

Introduction

This document describes how to configure Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Version 9.7.1 and later in order to allow Windows 7 and Android native (Virtual Private Network) VPN clients to establish a (Remote Access) RA VPN connection with the use of Internet Key Exchange Protocol (IKEv2) and Certificates as the authentication method.

Configure

These are the steps to configure the Windows 7 and Android native VPN clients in order to connect to an ASA headend:

Troubleshoot

This section provides the information you can use in order to troubleshoot your configuration.

What is Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Solution?

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Solution provides a comprehensive, highly secure enterprise mobility solution. the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Solution continues to lead with next-generation security and encryption, including support for the Suite B set of cryptographic algorithms, and support for IPv6 networks. More importantly, it adapts its tunneling protocol to the most efficient method. AnyConnect client can be used to connect both SSL VPN as well as IKEv2 IPSec VPN. In this document we will see how to configure only IKEv2 IPSec VPN.

What is active/active failover?

Active/Active failover is only available to security appliances in multiple context mode. In an Active/Active failover configuration, both security appliances can pass network traffic. In Active/Active failover, you divide the security contexts on the security appliance into failover groups. A failover group is simply a logical group of one or more security contexts. You can create a maximum of two failover groups on the security appliance. The admin context is always a member of failover group 1. Any unassigned security contexts are also members of failover group 1 by default. We have already seen the configuration for Active/Standby failover in the previous article. This article focuses on how to configure an Active/Active Failover configuration on ASA Security Appliance. Network Diagram (Physical Topology)

Background Information

  • AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Considerations
    The native Windows IKEv2 client does not support split tunnel (there are no CONF REPLY attributes which could be accepted by the Windows 7 client), so the only possible policy with the Microsoft client is to tunnel all traffic (0/0 traffic selectors). If there is a need for a specific split t…
