  • 0:00:14 In our next section we are going to look at a different variation of the IOS's easyVPN server configuration
    0:00:20 where we are using Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interfaces or DVTIs
    0:00:25 in conjunction with the isakmp profiles
    0:00:29 we will also look at another variation of easyvpn client that is using the Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interfaces
    0:00:35 as opposed to the dynamic crypto maps
    0:00:41 now previously we saw this configuration with the virtual tunnel interfaces
    0:00:45 when we were replacing a LAN-to-LAN ipsec tunnel
    0:00:49 that was running between router1 and 3
    0:00:52 that was also using GRE
    0:00:55 for encapsulation
    0:00:57 in order, for us to allow dynamic routing
    0:01:00 from the LAN-to-LAN segments
    0:01:02 where we were running eigrp
    0:01:04 on the link between router3 and 4
    0:01:07 we were running then eigrp on the tunnel interface
    0:01:10 and then router1 was also advertising its routes over tunnel via the dynamic protocol
    0:01:16 So the advantages of using the Static Virtual Tunnel Interface or the SVTI
    0:01:21 is that we were maintaining
    0:01:23 the ability to run a dynamic routing over the tunnel
    0:01:26 but we were saving the additional overhead of the GRE encapsulation
    0:01:32 Now we will see that the Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interface is similar to this
    0:01:35 where it gives us the advantage of having an interface associated with the ipsec tunnel
    0:01:42 but we don't have the additional overhead
    0:01:44 of running the GRE encapsulation
    0:01:47 So in later sections when we get into the Dynamic Multipoint VPN with DMVPN
    0:01:52 we will see one of the potential shortcoming to that design
    0:01:56 is that you do have the additional GRE encapsulation
    0:01:59 where when we look at this
    0:02:00 for very high bandwidth application
    0:02:02 it were talking about like 1 Giga bit per second or more
    0:02:06 then there is a significant amount of bandwidth that is wasted on the extra overhead
    0:02:11 So in these examples, we are going to be running router3 as the easyVPN server again
    0:02:17 and we are going to be taking in two different types of connections
    0:02:20 one of them is going to come from the test PC
    0:02:22 that is running the actual software
    0:02:24 VPN client on windows
    0:02:26 and one that is coming router5 as the easyVPN remote
    0:02:30 or the IOS's easyVPN client configuration
    0:02:35 Now the key point of this design
    0:02:37 with the easyVPN server and client
    0:02:39 is that we can use
    0:02:41 any combination of server configs or client configs
    0:02:44 and end up in the same result
    0:02:47 this is means that if the server is using the Dynamic VTI
    0:02:51 the client can be using either the software client, like on our windows machine
    0:02:56 it can be running the regular easyVPN client
    0:03:00 and either client mode or network mode or network plus
    0:03:04 but it could also be running the easyVPN client with the DVTIs
    0:03:08 then likewise if router3 running other combination of the config
    0:03:14 regardless whether we are using the Dynamic crypto maps or we are using the DVTIs
    0:03:17 we are going to have
    0:03:18 compatibilities between all of them
    0:03:22 Now the reason that we will want to do this
    0:03:25 in addition to have an interface
    0:03:27 associated with the ipsec tunnel
    0:03:30 its going to allow us to configure some additional features like QoS
    0:03:34 or with the introduction of the isakmp profiles
    0:03:37 we have some more granular control
    0:03:40 over how one particular
    0:03:42 client traffic is going to be treated versus another
    0:03:46 so for example here, where we have the test PC
    0:03:49 authenticating to the easyVPN server
    0:03:53 based on the group authentication or based on the user authentication
    0:03:57 we could assign this connection
    0:03:59 to an isakmp
    0:04:01 profile number 1
    0:04:04 where this profile says, I am assigned to virtual tunnel interface 1
    0:04:09 and based on that VTI I have certain QoS configurations
    0:04:13 may be I have certain filtering configurations
    0:04:16 where we could have
    0:04:18 the second authentication that is coming in from router5
    0:04:21 we could assign this to a different isakmp profile
    0:04:23 that is going to have different QoS options, different security options etc
    0:04:29 So we will see the combination of both the Virtual Tunnel Interface in the isakmp profile
    0:04:34 is going to give us some more granular control
    0:04:36 and a little bit more flexibility than using the Dynamic crypto maps
    0:04:40 with the static isakmp policies
    0:04:45 So next lets take a look at the documentation
    0:04:48 and just like all of our other ipsec configurations, this is going to be under
    0:04:52 the secure connectivity portion
    0:04:55 of the security documentation
    0:04:57 then this is going to be under ipsec
    0:05:01 VPN security for VPNs with ipsec
    0:05:03 and the IPSec Virtual Tunnel Interface
    0:05:07 Now we do previously see this documentation before when we were configuring the static
    0:05:12 Virtual Tunnel Interfaces
    0:05:14 where again this is the replacement for the GRE tunnel
    0:05:17 but its saving as that additional encapsulation overhead
    0:05:21 then with the Dynamic
    0:05:23 BGIs
    0:05:24 this is going to be the replacement of the dynamic
    0:05:26 crypto map inside the easyVPN server config
    0:05:31 Now we will also see in some later examples
    0:05:34 one of the additional advantages of using the Virtual Tunnel Interface
    0:05:37 is that we can do VRF aware
    0:05:40 ipsec
    0:05:42 meaning that we have two separate tunnel interfaces or more
    0:05:46 that are assigned to different virtual routing and forwarding interface
    0:05:50 instances, excuse me, VRF instances
    0:05:53 then depending on how the particular authentication works
    0:05:57 the user is going to be assigned to one of these VTIs
    0:06:00 that ultimately has a separate routing table
    0:06:03 then the other VTIs
    0:06:05 So we are doing security, not only in the data plane
    0:06:09 with the actual encryption by using the ESP
    0:06:12 or the ESP over UDP tunnel
    0:06:16 but then we are also doing security in the control plane
    0:06:19 by separating the routing information
    0:06:22 of certain users versus others
    0:06:26 So its multiple layer security, not only the data plane
    0:06:30 with the tunnel but then actually the control plane with the routing
    0:06:35 Now just like the other examples, we could go through the configuration task list
    0:06:40 and look at how to configure the ipsec tunnel
    0:06:42 how to configure dynamic ipsec
    0:06:44 and its going to give us this numbered
    0:06:47 step by step task list
    0:06:49 but when we look at simply the example towards the end
    0:06:53 the configuration example of the Dynamic VTI as an easy VPN server
    0:06:58 we will see that a lot of the configuration is similar
    0:07:01 to the previous
    0:07:03 ipsec configs, whether they were the LAN-to-LAN or the remote access
    0:07:08 because the same step by step process is always going to be true
    0:07:12 that the first thing we need to do
    0:07:14 is to find the phase I negotiation
    0:07:17 that is still defined mainly by the isakmp policy
    0:07:22 then we are going to define the phase II parameters
    0:07:25 which are going to include
    0:07:27 the crypto transform set
    0:07:30 then if we are trying to do split tunnelling, we would have an access list
    0:07:34 that defines
    0:07:35 what is the proxy identity for that individual client
    0:07:40 and as we know with the VPN server
    0:07:43 we are not setting the peer address
    0:07:45 because the responder who is the server
    0:07:46 doesn't know who the initiator is, or who the client is to begin with
    0:07:52 Now what changes with this configuration
    0:07:55 is that there is no
    0:07:56 crypto map that is applied to this interface
    0:07:59 where instead we have a virtual template interface which is a type tunnel
    0:08:03 and the tunnel mode is ipsec ipv4
    0:08:08 and the crypto profile
    0:08:10 is then applied to the tunnel
    0:08:13 where its essentially saying that any traffic that routes to the tunnel
    0:08:18 is then going to use this profile which in this case is calling test-vti1
    0:08:23 and test-vti1 is then calling the transform set
    0:08:27 which says that we are running 3DES with SHA
    0:08:33 that was similar to our static
    0:08:35 Virtual Tunnel Interface that we saw before
    0:08:37 the next step then
    0:08:39 is to associate the individual VPN users
    0:08:42 with that tunnel interface
    0:08:44 and thats mainly here what the ISAKMP profile is used for
    0:08:50 where the ISAKMP profile says that when our phase I
    0:08:53 negotiation occurs
    0:08:56 and for the easy VPN we know that
    0:08:58 portion of this negotiation
    0:08:59 is to exchange what is the group name
    0:09:03 and then what is the group authentication
    0:09:05 where we have the pre shared key for the
    0:09:07 the phase I authentication
    0:09:11 so the user comes in, they are using group named group 1
    0:09:15 they are going to authenticate with the password cisco123
    0:09:18 then they are assigned to this particular isakmp profile
    0:09:21 so is the profile's name is VPN1-RA
    0:09:27 Now if we look at the sub options here under the isakmp profile
    0:09:31 we could see just based on this basic example
    0:09:34 some of the things that we can set with the AAA list
    0:09:38 so how are we doing the authentication, how are we doing the authorization
    0:09:42 then additionally, what is the interface
    0:09:45 that the client is then going to be assigned to
    0:09:49 so some of the things that this will allow us to do
    0:09:52 is based on the AAA configuration
    0:09:55 we could do different types of authentication or different types of authorisation
    0:09:59 depending on what the group name is
    0:10:02 where may be group number 1, I want to send this to my TACAC server
    0:10:06 but for group number2, may be I am going to check the local database
    0:10:10 then group number 3 I am going to go to a different Radius server
    0:10:15 then additionally since I am also defining the virtual template
    0:10:19 which is the actual Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interface or the DVTI
    0:10:24 I can then control the per interface parameters
    0:10:28 based on the authentication
    0:10:31 So some one comes in, the user comes in, using group number1
    0:10:36 they are then assigned to virtual template1
    0:10:38 which means that any QoS that I have configured on here
    0:10:41 or may its part of a zone based policy firewall configuration
    0:10:46 so once the easyVPN connects
    0:10:48 we have a different firewall filtering policy for a certain type of user
    0:10:52 versus other ones
    0:10:54 may be we have a template for our administrators
    0:10:57 that are allowed to telnet or SSH to the network devices
    0:11:01 then one that is for the basic users, or may be I will say
    0:11:04 allow them to use tcp port 80
    0:11:07 and may be mail
    0:11:09 traffic, like smtp or pop3 or imap
    0:11:14 but the key is that since we are now
    0:11:16 decoupling
    0:11:17 the phase I authentication
    0:11:21 and applying it on a per group basis
    0:11:24 where normally this
    0:11:26 this type of stuff will be global
    0:11:27 for the particular crypto map
    0:11:30 but since we are removing the crypto map
    0:11:32 and then making it more modular
    0:11:35 configuration logic
    0:11:36 it gives us more flexibility to the final result of the configuration
    0:11:43 So lets take this example that they have here
    0:11:46 and lets change it around in order to match our particular design
    0:11:58 Now again if we take a look back at that topology
    0:12:01 I want to configure router3 as the server
    0:12:04 so that it is listening for traffic coming in from the test PC
    0:12:08 and from router5
    0:12:10 and ultimately I want traffic that is going to the 172.16.34 network
    0:12:16 and 172.16.4
    0:12:18 network, I want that to go over the tunnel
    0:12:23 so first lets remove some of the unnecessary
    0:12:26 things we have here
    0:12:28 like the ip subnet 0, the ip cef
    0:12:31 you will see that
    0:12:32 the configuration examples lot of the times will just leave
    0:12:36 unrelated configs in
    0:12:38 where this would be one of the first things that you would want to do, when you are
    0:12:41 you are using there examples
    0:12:43 try to minimize it, so that you have just the
    0:12:45 the pieces of syntax that are really specific to that
    0:12:48 individual feature
    0:12:51 I don't need to know about
    0:12:52 there interfaces that they are using for their connections
    0:12:56 I do need to know about the virtual template though
    0:12:59 that I have an address pool, I don't need to worry about their routing
    0:13:04 so this here, this is going to be the most basic functionality
    0:13:09 So now lets start with our phase I
    0:13:12 and work up from there, we have a phase I policy
    0:13:16 it says we are using 3DES encryption
    0:13:20 pre shared authentication group number 2
    0:13:23 and then the hash most likely is going to be default to SHA, in this IOS version
    0:13:30 Now once the user comes in
    0:13:32 and does the phase I authentication
    0:13:34 we then need check their group information
    0:13:38 so this is where the crypto isakmp client configuration group is
    0:13:43 this name here
    0:13:45 this is what we put into the VPN client
    0:13:48 whether this be the IOS router
    0:13:51 or whether this be the
    0:13:53 the actual client like our windows
    0:13:54 this what we are going to specify is the group user name
    0:13:58 then we have the group key or the group
    0:14:00 password, the pre shared key
    0:14:04 so I know what the group name is, I know what the password is
    0:14:08 then I have a user that is going to be for the extended authentication
    0:14:12 so for simplicity, I will make these
    0:14:14 username and password cisco
    0:14:17 password for group number 1 is also cisco
    0:14:21 then I have my pool
    0:14:24 that is going to control whats the
    0:14:26 ip addresses that the users are assigned
    0:14:29 so we have a pool allocated
    0:14:32 its called group 1 pool
    0:14:35 where group 1 pool says
    0:14:37 we are using the range 192.168.1.1
    0:14:40 to 192.168.1.4
    0:14:43 so then obviously if we wanted more than four host to be able to use the tunnel simultaneously
    0:14:48 we would have to make the pool larger, so lets say up through
    0:14:53 254
    0:14:56 this is where I would also specify my access list
    0:15:00 if I wanted to split tunneling
    0:15:03 which in this particular I do, I want to protect the traffic, just that is going
    0:15:07 to that 172.16
    0:15:10 network, thats behind router3
    0:15:14 and again remember that this access list is going to be from the perspective of the server
    0:15:19 So on router3 we will say that the traffic is coming from
    0:15:22 the 172.16 network
    0:15:24 we don't necessarily know where its going
    0:15:27 because we don't know who the initiator is of the tunnel
    0:15:30 we will say
    0:15:32 ip access list
    0:15:35 extended
    0:15:37 we will say this is the DVTI
    0:15:41 split ACL
    0:15:44 which is, I am going to permit ip traffic that is coming from my local networks
    0:15:48 which is 172.16
    0:15:51 and I don't know where its going, so it could go anywhere
    0:15:56 then this access list DVTI split acl
    0:15:59 this is going to be called from the client configuration group
    0:16:04 Now I don't technically need to do this
    0:16:07 if I were to leave this access list off
    0:16:09 it would mean from the
    0:16:10 test PC, its going to send all traffic from the ipsec tunnel
    0:16:15 just depends if I want certain networks to be routed over the tunnel
    0:16:18 and then the default routes to use the normal interface in the clear
    0:16:26 so now we know the group username the group password
    0:16:29 we know the ip addresses the user is going to get
    0:16:32 we know the access list that they are going to get
    0:16:35 next we have the isakmp profile
    0:16:40 this again is what is going to associate the user with the particular Dynamic Interface
    0:16:46 so we have the group name which is group number 1
    0:16:48 that is saying that when this user comes in
    0:16:51 we are going to authenticate them and athorize them with the local list
    0:16:56 this is a AAA list that we are defining
    0:16:59 says, check the local database
    0:17:01 we could likewise send this to TACACS, we could send this to RADIUS
    0:17:05 but the key is that, this is now on a per group basis
    0:17:12 this here it says that the client is going to ask for an address, we are going to respond
    0:17:17 where going to then assign them to interface virtual template 1
    0:17:23 virtual template 1 is going to have an ipsec
    0:17:25 profile which is the test-vti1
    0:17:28 which is says that
    0:17:31 we are calling this particular transform set
    0:17:33 this particular transform set says that these are the phase II options
    0:17:37 we are using 3DES and
    0:17:39 SHA both with ESP
    0:17:43 So otherwise then the only thing that we would need to change
    0:17:46 as possibly the address of the tunnel
    0:17:48 like lets say we are going to unnumber this to the
    0:17:51 the loopback address of router3
    0:17:54 it does not really matter what this address is
    0:17:57 as long as ip is enabled on the tunnel
    0:18:01 because just like any other interface on the router
    0:18:03 we cannot route ip on it, unless the ip protocol is actually recommended
    0:18:09 then the ip virtual reassembly, this is a fragmentation
    0:18:13 feature we don't necessarily need to put that there
    0:18:18 but in most real deployments, you would leave that on
    0:18:24 Hey, so lets try this configuration out now
    0:18:26 and additionally notice there is no crypto map
    0:18:29 previously we have the crypto map
    0:18:31 applied on the incoming interface
    0:18:34 for the server, which is this one
    0:18:37 but now technically router3 could accept
    0:18:40 an easyVPN session on this interface, this interface or this one
    0:18:45 because the virtual tunnel is listening for all traffic
    0:18:49 that is locally destined to router3
    0:18:57 so now lets try this out, lets go to router3
    0:19:02 place this config in
    0:19:04 looks like most the example is good
    0:19:07 did generic, one message here it says that the profile is deemed incomplete until it has match identity statement
    0:19:12 which was then the next thing that we did
    0:19:16 so everything look good here
    0:19:19 next lets look at the debug
    0:19:21 crypto isakmp
    0:19:25 it will now initiate the tunnel from the
    0:19:28 the end host
    0:19:35 so lets open the vpn client
    0:19:39 we are going to start a new
    0:19:42 a new tunnel, this is going to go to router3
    0:19:45 and if we look at those settings again, the key point here
    0:19:47 is the group name and the group password
    0:19:51 this group 1, what we need to define here
    0:19:54 as the group authentication name
    0:19:58 password is then going to be that key if cisco
    0:20:01 the host is going to be any address on router3
    0:20:04 I will say its the
    0:20:06 the link between router2 and router3
    0:20:09 we will say, this connection entry will say R3 group 1
    0:20:17 Now if we look at the debug on router3
    0:20:20 as we are connecting the tunnel
    0:20:22 as soon as we hit the connect button
    0:20:25 if I didn't see the username and password box of your
    0:20:30 it means what is true about the tunnel
    0:20:36 it means that the phase I
    0:20:38 negotiation was correct
    0:20:40 because remember that individual username and password box, that is for extended authentication
    0:20:45 an extended authentication doesn't occur
    0:20:47 until phase 1.5
    0:20:50 which means that your basic phase 1 has to work
    0:20:54 before you get to 1.5
    0:20:57 so if we now look at router
    0:20:59 3 eventually what we should see that they agreed on
    0:21:02 the
    0:21:04 isakmp policy
    0:21:06 where they are going to use
    0:21:09 3DES SHA group 2
    0:21:11 and extended authentication with
    0:21:13 pre shared authentication for the group
    0:21:16 the attributes are acceptable
    0:21:19 Now phase I is complete
    0:21:21 we are now going to move on the extended authentication
    0:21:26 if we actually login here, lets say username cisco, password cisco
    0:21:34 we should now see the mode configuration attributes
    0:21:39 says we are assigning the address 192.168.1.1
    0:21:43 then we are sending them the access list DVTI_SPLIT_ACL
    0:21:52 then once phase 1.5 is complete
    0:21:55 we see they
    0:21:57 started negotiating the actual ipsec
    0:21:59 transform set
    0:22:01 So now phase I is completely done
    0:22:05 eventually they agreed that we are going to use
    0:22:07 ESP 3DES with
    0:22:10 HMAC SHA
    0:22:12 we are running in tunnel mode
    0:22:13 this is the particular security association lifetime
    0:22:18 if we now look at the show crypto isakmp sa
    0:22:23 we should see the phase I tunnel is complete
    0:22:25 the state is QM_IDLE
    0:22:27 or quick mode idle
    0:22:28 which means that we are now moving on to phase II
    0:22:33 Now notice additionally here it says that this is for vpn1-ra
    0:22:38 and if we show run
    0:22:41 include vpn1-ra
    0:22:44 that is the name of the isakmp profile
    0:22:48 so it means that this individual phase I tunnel landed on that profile
    0:22:52 and that was based on the group address
    0:22:55 or the group name, I should say
    0:22:58 we now look at the show cypto ipsec sa
    0:23:03 says the interface we are using is now virtual template II
    0:23:06 or virtual access II
    0:23:08 which is an instance of virtual template II
    0:23:11 the security association is going towards 192.168.118.100
    0:23:18 specifically for this address, this is what we assign to them
    0:23:25 Now right now, since we are not going through Network Address Translation
    0:23:29 we have not offered them NAT reversal or NAT transparency
    0:23:33 which means that this is going to be natively encapsulated inside of ESP
    0:23:39 which again would then assume that from the test pc
    0:23:42 that we have proper ESP transport to the server
    0:23:45 and from the server back
    0:23:49 in this particular case on the ASA
    0:23:52 the way that I am allowing this, if you look at the
    0:23:55 show run policy map
    0:23:58 is by inspecting
    0:24:01 the ESP traffic is this going through
    0:24:05 again the other alternatives to this would be to manually allow the ESP in
    0:24:10 I could configure Network Address Translation on the ASA
    0:24:14 which is then going to force the IOS's VPN server
    0:24:18 to offer the client NAT transparency with NAT reversal
    0:24:21 or I can configure it to tunnel it over tcp
    0:24:27 so it really doesn't matter which option I use
    0:24:31 and if we now go back to the Windows machine
    0:24:34 if we look at the routing table
    0:24:37 we could say in the route frame from the command line
    0:24:39 or we could go to
    0:24:41 the VPN client and look at the
    0:24:43 statistics
    0:24:46 the route details, this is going to be the split tunnelling access list
    0:24:51 under the tunnel details it says that
    0:24:55 we have this particular crypto maps, so its 3DES
    0:24:59 SHA
    0:25:00 transparent tunnelling is off
    0:25:02 it is inactive, so we are running natively over ESP
    0:25:09 So now lets actually send traffic out of the tunnel and see if this
    0:25:12 encryption and decryption
    0:25:14 is going to increment
    0:25:16 lets ping 172.16.4.4
    0:25:25 Says the traffic is getting encrypted
    0:25:29 traffic is getting encrypted but
    0:25:32 here we go, now its coming back in
    0:25:34 So this portion here, this was most likely just convergence
    0:25:38 of the
    0:25:40 the tunnel on the server's end
    0:25:42 If I were now to telnet
    0:25:44 to that address, lets telnet to router4
    0:25:48 if we log in
    0:25:51 then look at the show users
    0:25:54 we should see this coming from the
    0:25:59 post network address, translation address
    0:26:03 So this is the one that is assigned to the tunnel interface
    0:26:07 and we could see this Astrix, this is our active session here, so ignore this one
    0:26:13 Now if I were to telnet to someone that is outside the tunnel
    0:26:18 lets say, I telnet to
    0:26:20 router2 for example
    0:26:25 and show users
    0:26:28 the address now is my original address
    0:26:32 it means that this traffic is now not being sent out of the tunnel
    0:26:36 because the split tunnel acl says that I would not use the tunnel to get to
    0:26:41 200.0.0.2
    0:26:43 I am only using it to get to
    0:26:46 devices that are in 172.16 network
    0:26:52 So we could see here from the VPN client's perspective
    0:26:56 there is no change
    0:26:57 it doesn't know whether we are using the virtual tunnel interface
    0:27:02 on the head end
    0:27:03 or whether we are using the dynamic crypto maps
    0:27:08 on router3, if we look at the routing table
    0:27:11 automatically when the client connects
    0:27:14 there is going to be a static route
    0:27:16 for that particular host
    0:27:18 on that individual virtual access
    0:27:23 Now if we were to have an additional client
    0:27:27 lets say we were to go to router5
    0:27:31 and we are going to configure router5 with the software client
    0:27:35 where this is our outside interface, this is the inside interface
    0:27:39 and we want all traffic thats going this way
    0:27:42 to be translated to some address that router 3 is assigning
    0:27:47 So same configuration logic as we did before
    0:27:50 again the only thing that we need to do here
    0:27:53 is to find the group username and password
    0:27:57 to find the peer address and then apply the
    0:28:00 the client to the interface
    0:28:02 So we will say crypto ipsec client
    0:28:05 its an easy VPN client config
    0:28:09 this name here, it could be whatever, we will say easyVPN
    0:28:13 client name
    0:28:16 what is important is what is the group username
    0:28:19 so the group that router3 is listening for is group 1
    0:28:24 with the key of cisco
    0:28:26 the peers address is 200.0.23.3
    0:28:32 and the mode that we are going to use is client
    0:28:35 we could use network extension or we could use network plus
    0:28:38 and result is going to be the same from the
    0:28:41 the previous configuration examples we did
    0:28:46 so now on the interfaces we have on fastethernet0/1
    0:28:50 this is our outside
    0:28:52 fastethernet0/0 is the inside
    0:28:55 So it will say crypto ipsec client
    0:28:58 easyvpn and then the name of the config
    0:29:02 so vpn client name
    0:29:06 this is the outside
    0:29:08 fastethernet0/0 is the inside
    0:29:15 Now if the tunnel is working properly
    0:29:17 we should get this
    0:29:19 log message that we need to do extended authentication
    0:29:23 username cisco, password cisco
    0:29:29 we can see from router3's debug of crypto isakmp
    0:29:32 we are going through another phase I negotiation
    0:29:35 we should see that there is a new address that is assigned to the tunnel
    0:29:40 and on router5, this is assigned to its loopback
    0:29:43 so if we show ip interface brief
    0:29:46 we could see its part for the VPN pool, I was assigned the 192.168.1.2 address
    0:29:54 on router3, if we look at the routing table
    0:30:00 we should see two separate entries now, one that is for
    0:30:04 the windows machine, the test pc
    0:30:07 and then one that is for router5
    0:30:12 Now the key point about this functional difference of using the Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interfaces versus the crypto maps
    0:30:19 is that I can now easily classify
    0:30:21 traffic that is going to the windows machine
    0:30:25 versus the traffic that is going to router5
    0:30:28 because they are two separate interfaces
    0:30:31 essentially that were using, one is for virtual access 1 , one is for virtual access
    0:30:35 3, virtual access 2 and virtual access 3
    0:30:42 Now I could be take this one step further
    0:30:44 and say that based on the group
    0:30:47 authentication
    0:30:48 which again is going to be controlled by now the isakmp
    0:30:52 profile
    0:30:54 if we show run section crypto
    0:30:57 we could define a new
    0:31:00 isakmp profile
    0:31:02 that says we look for a different group address
    0:31:06 lets say that we are going to use group 2
    0:31:11 where we will take this previous configurations, its going to be similar
    0:31:15 but we are going to change it around a little bit, so there is a separate
    0:31:18 virtual tunnel interface
    0:31:22 so we will have a new
    0:31:24 configuration group, we will say this is group 2
    0:31:28 all of the other configuration is going to be same there
    0:31:31 but for profile vpn2ra
    0:31:35 we will say its group number2
    0:31:37 we are going to assign them to interface virtual template 2
    0:31:42 this would then mean that we have a new interface if we show run interface virtual
    0:31:47 template 1
    0:31:52 means I have a new
    0:31:54 interface here
    0:31:56 I could still use the saem crypto profile
    0:31:59 if I didn't want to change the transform set
    0:32:02 but now its allowing me to categorize
    0:32:06 users that authenticate with group2
    0:32:08 separately than users that authenticate with group 1
    0:32:13 So now lets say for example that if someone authenticates with group number 2
    0:32:17 I want to put some restrictions on what type of traffic they can send in to the network
    0:32:22 where may be
    0:32:23 I want to allow them to
    0:32:25 to run everything except the icmp pings
    0:32:29 where we could say access list
    0:32:33 IP access list extended
    0:32:36 we will say VPN to
    0:32:41 VPN to filter
    0:32:43 that says deny ICMP traffic
    0:32:46 but permit anything else
    0:32:49 Now for the application of this, since we have an interface that is associated with the tunnel
    0:32:53 there is nothing else thats special, other than saying ip access group
    0:32:57 vpn2-filter in
    0:33:00 or access group vpn2-filter out
    0:33:05 but now the functional difference of this
    0:33:08 is depended on how the user authenticates
    0:33:15 so depending on the group user name and password
    0:33:18 its going to either assign them to interface
    0:33:22 virtual template 1
    0:33:24 or virtual template 2
    0:33:29 if we were to look at the other options of the crypto profile
    0:33:33 lets say show run section crypto
    0:33:39 crypto isakmp
    0:33:43 we have two different profiles, one for
    0:33:47 group 2, one of them for group 1
    0:33:54 some of the other options we could change here
    0:33:57 would be the QoS identifier
    0:34:00 so we can classify with an internal marking
    0:34:04 whats the difference between group 1 users versus the group 2
    0:34:07 then I could say may be
    0:34:08 based on how someone else is authenticating
    0:34:11 I am going to give them
    0:34:12 a different bandwidth limitation
    0:34:15 or I am going to give them
    0:34:16 low latency for their Voice Over IP traffic
    0:34:21 I could also say based on their group name
    0:34:23 I am going to use a different certificate authority
    0:34:27 So I could say that
    0:34:28 may be I have two different CA servers
    0:34:31 if you authenticate with group number 1
    0:34:34 then you are going to get CA server 1
    0:34:36 but if you authenticate with group number 2, you are going to get a different one
    0:34:41 so lets try this out now, if we were to go back to the
    0:34:44 the windows machine
    0:34:46 and we could see right now off we are authenticated to group number 1
    0:34:51 I should be able to ping router4, no problem
    0:34:54 because we are not filtering anything out
    0:34:58 if I disconnect
    0:35:02 we could see the traffic is still allowed
    0:35:05 the difference now if I were to go to router4
    0:35:08 and lets look at the debug ip icmp
    0:35:14 when the tunnel is not configured
    0:35:16 or when the tunnel is not active
    0:35:18 these pings are coming from
    0:35:20 the normal address of the test pc
    0:35:23 the 192.168.118.100
    0:35:28 once the tunnel comes up
    0:35:31 so lets reconnect the tunnel again
    0:35:40 we should see the destination is going to change, so now its the tunnel address
    0:35:46 and if we were to authenticate again
    0:35:50 but now we are going to do this to a different group, so lets disconnect this one
    0:35:55 I will make a copy of this
    0:35:57 lets duplicate the session
    0:36:00 but we are going to modify it, so it has different group name
    0:36:07 we will say this is router3, group2
    0:36:20 and we could see, now the new filter is being applied
    0:36:24 where router3 is dropping the packets
    0:36:27 is then responding back with an icmp unreachable
    0:36:33 its then replying back with a icmp unreachable, which is the administratively prohibited
    0:36:40 if we were to now go to router3
    0:36:44 and look at the
    0:36:46 show crypto isakmp
    0:36:49 sa
    0:36:58 we can see, we have the phase I tunnel which is fine
    0:37:02 if we show the
    0:37:04 crypto ipsec sa
    0:37:07 says that this host which is
    0:37:11 and lets actually see, which one it is, if we go to the
    0:37:13 the windows machine, lets look at the ip config
    0:37:18 this end point of the tunnel is 192.168.1.4
    0:37:25 on router3, if we look at the
    0:37:27 particular ipsec sa for that address, the 1.4
    0:37:33 says this is using Interface Virtual access to
    0:37:38 we see that the particular transform set thats assigned
    0:37:41 but I could technically different way, if I wanted
    0:37:44 because I have different
    0:37:46 virtual templates, which means I have different crypto
    0:37:49 ipsec profiles
    0:37:51 we show run interface virtual
    0:37:54 template 1 versus template 2
    0:37:58 again the assignment between them is based on the
    0:38:01 isakmp profile
    0:38:04 now the other variation of this configuration would be on the
    0:38:07 ipsec client
    0:38:10 which is router5
    0:38:12 we could change its
    0:38:15 easyVPN client configuration
    0:38:17 So that is also referencing a virtual template
    0:38:20 this would then allow us to do, different QoS parameters, different filtering parameters
    0:38:24 based on the particular tunnel that they are assigned to
    0:38:29 so again the goal of using the dynamic virtual templates
    0:38:32 or virtual tunnel interfaces
    0:38:35 is that we have an interface
    0:38:37 associated with ipsec tunnel
    0:38:39 without having to add the additional overhead of GRE
    0:38:42 or to run some more complicated design like DMVPN
    0:38:46 for multipoint GRE tunnels
    0:38:50 so next lets look at our current configurations on router5
    0:38:54 if we look at the show run section crypto
    0:38:58 we have the ipsec client configuration
    0:39:01 where we are specifying the group name, we are specifying the group key
    0:39:05 the peer
    0:39:06 then we have the actual client applied on the interfaces
    0:39:10 where we have the fastethernet0/1
    0:39:13 applied as the outside interface and then fastethernet0/0
    0:39:17 which is going to router6 that is the inside interface
    0:39:24 Now for the Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interface Variation of this
    0:39:28 its only a minor change from what we see as the current configuration
    0:39:32 but we are going to specify what is the particular virtual
    0:39:36 template interface
    0:39:37 that we want for the client configurtion
    0:39:40 So before I make this change
    0:39:42 first thing that I want to do is to remove the
    0:39:44 previous client configuration from the interface
    0:39:47 to make sure that we don't run into any type of order of operations problems
    0:39:53 so on fastethernet0/0, we will remove the inside
    0:39:57 interface
    0:39:59 on fastethernet0/0
    0:40:01 0/1 will remove the outside interface
    0:40:05 we now look at the show run section crypto
    0:40:12 we have the client configuration, and actually its still on the inside interface, lets remove that
    0:40:17 but notice the log messge it says that
    0:40:19 that the loopback interface change to down
    0:40:22 this was because the tunnel was previously working
    0:40:25 then since we removed the configuration, it had to disconnect
    0:40:28 the ipsec sa
    0:40:30 So our next step on router5 is we are going to configure the new virtual template interface
    0:40:36 that were going to use the dynamic virtual
    0:40:38 tunnel interface or the DVTI
    0:40:40 we will say that this is interface virtual template
    0:40:44 1, giving any arbitrary number
    0:40:47 but the key is that this is a special type that is for tunneling
    0:40:52 then just like on the server we need to make sure that we have an ip address
    0:40:56 and doesn't necessarily matter what it is
    0:40:58 as long as ip enabled
    0:41:00 so we could put a new
    0:41:03 primary address, we could put
    0:41:05 an unnumbered address, we will say unnumbered to the loopback
    0:41:08 as long as ip is running there
    0:41:11 then additionally under the
    0:41:13 client configuration
    0:41:16 here we are going to specify that this configuration is then tied
    0:41:20 to that virtual interface
    0:41:22 or that is the virtual template number
    0:41:26 then we need to reapply this configuration on the physical interfaces
    0:41:31 So on fastethernet
    0:41:35 0/0 and fastethernet0/1
    0:41:39 so this is now the, again the inside interface
    0:41:43 fa0/1 is the outside interface
    0:41:48 next lets look at the debug crypto ipsec
    0:41:52 client for easyVPN
    0:41:55 and we should be able to see
    0:41:57 router5 attempting to connect the session
    0:42:01 if we look at show crypto isakmp sa
    0:42:04 we don't have any phase I negotiation
    0:42:06 So now lets attempt to send traffic out the interfaces
    0:42:11 from router4
    0:42:12 or router6, I should say, lets
    0:42:15 send traffic to router4
    0:42:17 to 172.16.4.4
    0:42:22 and ideally we should see the debug on router5
    0:42:27 Now since I don't see the phase I tunnel trying to negotiate
    0:42:31 most likely what this means
    0:42:33 is that either the
    0:42:35 the interesting traffic is not triggering the tunnel
    0:42:39 may be I don't have the tunnel properly apply to the interfaces
    0:42:43 or that router3 is not actually listening
    0:42:45 for the connection
    0:42:50 Now we do already know that router3 is listening for the connection
    0:42:53 because both the windows vpn client was working before
    0:42:57 and router5 was running the normal
    0:43:00 easyVPN remote, the original software client
    0:43:06 so now lets double check on
    0:43:08 router5 that this is properly applied, lets look at the show crypto
    0:43:11 ipsec client
    0:43:15 easyVPN, it says that
    0:43:17 the inside interface is fastethernet0/0
    0:43:21 outside interface is fastethernet 0/1
    0:43:24 the current easyVPN peer
    0:43:26 is 200.0.23.3 which is what we want
    0:43:29 if we look at the show ip interface brief
    0:43:33 ideally what we should see
    0:43:35 is that there is going to be
    0:43:37 an ip address that is assigned to the virtual access
    0:43:43 Now you may find that this configuration is a little bit more sensitive to the order of operations
    0:43:48 than the
    0:43:49 the previous one, when we were not using virtual tunnels
    0:43:54 So lets look at this one more
    0:43:56 time, I may need to remove
    0:43:59 the configuration and then reapply it
    0:44:05 but lets try to clear, lets say
    0:44:07 clear crypto ipsec
    0:44:10 client easyVPN
    0:44:20 then try to initiate traffic, lets ping 172.16.4.4
    0:44:30 still not no debug output
    0:44:31 we could try to manually initiate the tunnel
    0:44:34 with the crypto
    0:44:36 crypto ipsec client
    0:44:39 easyVPN connect command
    0:44:45 but it says the user connect
    0:44:47 request is ignored
    0:44:49 because the tunnel end point is not ready for a request
    0:44:56 So lets see what else we could possibly be missing in the config, lets say show run
    0:45:00 section crypto or
    0:45:03 interface
    0:45:07 we have the group name, we have the group password
    0:45:10 we are running in client mode
    0:45:12 we have the peer address defined
    0:45:14 we have the virtual interface defined
    0:45:18 the virtual interface should be of type tunnel which it is
    0:45:22 then we have
    0:45:24 the client configured on the outside interface and the inside interface
    0:45:29 so it looks like the configuration should be solid
    0:45:33 what I am going to do now, just to make sure its
    0:45:37 either a configuration problem or unrelated to configuration
    0:45:40 is to save router5's configuration and then reload
    0:47:33 so now we could see router5 has been reloaded
    0:47:36 and notice one of the first log messages that comes up here
    0:47:39 it says that, there is now pending extended authentication request
    0:47:43 and we need to send our usename and password
    0:47:47 so the key point of this demo here
    0:47:50 is that you need to make sure that you do include reloading
    0:47:55 as part of your troubleshooting process
    0:47:57 especially when some of this configurations
    0:47:59 you are making a lot of changes
    0:48:00 adding new stuff, removing old stuff
    0:48:03 sometimes the ipsec process would get hung
    0:48:05 where if removing the crypto map of the interface and reapplying it doesn't work
    0:48:10 then was last ditch effort you can reload
    0:48:12 move onto something else
    0:48:14 comeback later and see if that has changed
    0:48:16 the problem at all
    0:48:18 Now what we should see is the final result of this, if we look at the show ip interface brief
    0:48:23 that the address that is allocated from the vpn server
    0:48:26 should be assigned to a virtual access
    0:48:30 and this is now the actual logical instance
    0:48:33 of the dynamic virtual tunnel interface
    0:48:38 also if we look at the routing table
    0:48:40 we should see the split tunnel acl
    0:48:43 installed as a static route
    0:48:45 via the virtual interface
    0:48:49 so now router3, who is the server, is dynamically advertising
    0:48:53 172.16.0.0/16 to us
    0:48:58 and if we try to send traffic
    0:49:00 to any of these destinations
    0:49:03 we could see it is working
    0:49:04 if we were to telnet there
    0:49:08 then look at the show users
    0:49:11 router4 is saying that 5's connection is coming from inside of the ipsec tunnel
