What is Cisco remote access VPN?

This allows remote users to connect to the ASA and access the remote network through an IPsec encrypted tunnel. The remote user requires the Cisco VPN client software on his/her computer, once the connection is established the user will receive a private IP address from the ASA and has access to the network.

Does Cisco AnyConnect use IKEv2?

Each of those products only supported their own protocol however with the introduction of Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0, the client can now use IPsec (IKEv2) or SSL for the transport of the VPN connection.

How do I enable IKEv2 on my Cisco router?

To enable IKEv2 on a crypto interface, attach an IKEv2 profile to the crypto map or IPsec profile applied to the interface. You need not enable IKEv1 on individual interfaces because IKEv1 is enabled globally on all interfaces in the router.

Does Cisco ASA support IKEv2?

IKEv2 has been published in RFC 5996 in September 2010 and is fully supported on Cisco ASA firewalls.

What type of VPN is Cisco AnyConnect?

Cisco AnyConnect VPNs utilize TLS to authenticate and configure routing, then DTLS to efficiently encrypt and transport the tunneled VPN traffic, and can fall back to TLS-based transport where firewalls block UDP-based traffic.

Does Cisco AnyConnect use IPsec or SSL?

Anyconnect is the replacement for the old Cisco VPN client and supports SSL and IKEv2 IPsec. When it comes to SSL, the ASA offers two SSL VPN modes: Clientless WebVPN.

Which is better IKEv2 or IPSec?

IPSec is considered secure and reliable, while IKEv2 is extremely fast and stable – IKEV2 offers quick re-connections when switching networks or during sudden drops. Thus, a combination of IKEv2/IPsec forms one of the best VPN protocols that exhibits the advantages of the two.

How does IKEv2 VPN Work?

How Does IKEv2 Work? Using a Diffie–Hellman key exchange algorithm, the protocol sets up a secure communication channel between your device and the VPN server. IKEv2 then uses that secure communication channel to establish what is called a security association.

How do I implement IKEv2?

Introduction.Prerequisites.Step 1 — Installing StrongSwan.Step 2 — Creating a Certificate Authority.Step 3 — Generating a Certificate for the VPN Server.Step 4 — Configuring StrongSwan.Step 5 — Configuring VPN Authentication.Step 6 — Configuring the Firewall & Kernel IP Forwarding.More items...•

IKEv2 uses UDP ports 500 and 4500 for communication.

What is the difference between IKEv1 and IKEv2?

IKEv2 uses four messages; IKEv1 uses either six messages (in the main mode) or three messages (in aggressive mode). IKEv2 has Built-in NAT-T functionality which improves compatibility between vendors. IKEv2 supports EAP authentication. IKEv2 has the Keep Alive option enabled as default.

Does IKEv2 have two phases?

IKEv2 Phases Like IKEv1, IKEv2 also has a two-phase negotiation process to create a secure tunnel. The first phase of IKEv2 is IKE_SA_INIT and the second phase of IKEv2 is IKE_AUTH.

How do I troubleshoot IKEv2?

Suggestions: Troubleshoot connectivity between Aviatrix gateway and peer VPN router. Verify that both VPN settings use the same IKEv2 version. Verify that all IKEv2/IPsec algorithm parameters (i.e., Authentication/DH Groups/Encryption) match on both VPN configuration.

What is an IKEv2 profile?

An IKEv2 profile is a repository of nonnegotiable parameters of the IKE SA, such as local or remote identities and authentication methods and services that are available to authenticated peers that match the profile. An IKEv2 profile must be attached to either a crypto map or an IPSec profile on the initiator.

What is AnyConnect's default IKE?

Note: AnyConnect uses '*$AnyConnectClient$*' as its default IKE identity of type key-id. However, this identity can be manually changed in the AnyConnect profile to match deployment needs.

Can you configure eap before local authentication?

Note: Configuring the remote authentication method before the local authentication method will be accepted by the CLI, but will not take effect on versions that do not have the fix for the enhancement request CSCvb29701, if the remote authentication method is eap. For these versions, when configuring eap as the remote authentication method, ensure the local authentication method is configured as rsa-sig first. This problem is not seen with any other form of remote authentication method.

What is IKEv2 session?

The IKEv2 session is completed by the ASA, final configuration (configuration reply with values such as an assigned IP address), transform sets, and traffic selectors are pushed to the VPN client.

What is EAP encapsulated in?

All subsequent EAP packets are encapsulated in IKE_AUTH. After the supplicant confirms the method (EAP-PEAP), it starts to build an Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) tunnel which protects the MSCHAPv2 session used for authentication.

Does AnyConnect support EAP?

If there is a need for a specific split tunnel policy, AnyConnect should be used. AnyConnect does not support standardized EAP methods which are terminated on the AAA server (PEAP, Transport Layer Security). If there is a need to terminate EAP sessions on the AAA server then the Microsoft client can be used.

What is IKEv2?

Internet Key Exchange version 2, IKEv2 for short, is a request/response protocol developed by both Cisco and Microsoft. It is used to establish — and secure — IPv4/IPv6 connections, be it a site-to-site VPN or from a road-warrior connecting to a hub site. IKEv2, when run in point-to-multipoint, or remote-access/road-warrior mode, secures the server-side with another layer by using an x509 signed server certificate — thus we needed a better way to handle server certificates than we did in the past by simply dropping them as files into the /config/auth directory.
