  • 0:00:13 In our next section we are going to look at some trouble shooting of ipsec
    0:00:17 lan to lan vpns on ios
    0:00:20 or if two vpns that are configured
    0:00:22 one that is between router 1
    0:00:24 and router 3
    0:00:26 and a another one that is between router
    0:00:28 3 and router 5
    0:00:30 but there are some minor problems
    0:00:32 in the operation between them where the best majority that is configured
    0:00:36 but they are not functioned
    0:00:38 so as supposed to troubleshoot this by looking at just the configuration
    0:00:42 we are to look at some of the show outputs and the debug outputs that we talked about previously
    0:00:46 to see we could narrow down what are the problems
    0:00:49 that are related to these two individual tunnels
    0:00:54 so to review we talked about the basic verifications and troubleshooting
    0:00:58 we would first want to start
    0:01:00 to look at the
    0:01:01 face one negotiation of the isakmp
    0:01:03 to make sure that this was successful
    0:01:05 and the first thing that we want to look at show cypto isakmp sa
    0:01:10 and we want to know
    0:01:10 does the security association say
    0:01:13 qm_idle
    0:01:14 for quick mode idle
    0:01:16 meaning that phase one negotiation was correct
    0:01:18 and that we are preceding onto phase 2
    0:01:22 now if we do not see this sqm idle we can look at the debug proto isakmp
    0:01:26 this is going to show us the individual steps that is going on in the negotiation process
    0:01:31 so we will want to know is the authentication working
    0:01:34 and if not we would check the key is or the certificate authority
    0:01:38 and are the other attributes for isakmp i will say matching
    0:01:43 so the debug is going to show us is there problem with the has
    0:01:47 algorithm with the encryption
    0:01:52 now if we look show cypto isakmp and it does show that the
    0:01:56 the sa is the qm-idle
    0:01:58 that means that you then need to look at the phase 2 negotiation
    0:02:02 so we could look at the show crypto ipsec sa
    0:02:05 and see are the packets actually getting
    0:02:07 encrypted or decrypted
    0:02:10 are beginning in capsulated and decapsulated
    0:02:12 we would want to check this on both sides
    0:02:15 this would tell us that if phase 2 negotiation is correct
    0:02:20 but for some reason the packets aren't getting through
    0:02:22 it could be some sort of filtering that is going on in data plan
    0:02:26 now not of these corners are going up
    0:02:28 we may look at the accesslist to make sure the proxy acl are correct
    0:02:32 we could look at the debug ipsec
    0:02:35 this is going to show us the individual negotiation steps
    0:02:38 of the ipsec sa
    0:02:42 so first lets look at the vpns that going on between router 1 and router 3
    0:02:47 which likely had configured us before
    0:02:52 it is used to encrypt traffic that is coming from the 192.168 segments
    0:02:55 going to 172.16 network
    0:02:59 so this were functional we should be able to switch to
    0:03:02 and ping this lan interface of router 4
    0:03:07 so lets start there to see
    0:03:08 can the traffic actually get through on switch 2
    0:03:12 we are going to ping 172.16.4.4
    0:03:18 and we could see right now
    0:03:20 this is not successful
    0:03:23 now the next thing we may want to do
    0:03:24 is to go to the n points
    0:03:28 of the tunnels which in case are router 1 router 3
    0:03:32 and look at show crypto
    0:03:35 isakmp sa
    0:03:38 notice that router 1 here says that
    0:03:42 there is no state
    0:03:44 for the tunnel
    0:03:46 or essentially if says any thing other than qm-idle
    0:03:50 it tells that there is a problem
    0:03:52 we look at the same thing on router 3 that says show crypto
    0:03:56 isakmp sa
    0:03:59 it says that there is
    0:04:01 a tunnel that is going to router 5
    0:04:04 that is qm-idle
    0:04:06 but there is not one that is going to router 1
    0:04:09 the one from router 1 is the leader for some reason
    0:04:14 now to refresh this information we could say
    0:04:17 clear crypto
    0:04:19 isakmp
    0:04:21 on both router 1 and router 3
    0:04:24 clear crypto isakmp
    0:04:26 if we look at the show crypto isakmp sa
    0:04:28 we could see now its the leader likewise on router 1
    0:04:32 should be likewise to be leaded on
    0:04:34 router 3 as well
    0:04:36 this would be able one to start the
    0:04:38 negotiation again from scratch
    0:04:41 so we could see all of the output in the debug
    0:04:43 likewise we could say clear crypto sa
    0:04:47 this is would delete the phase 2 ipsec sa
    0:04:51 we could also say for a particular spi
    0:04:55 and match on the particular tunnel that we were trying to clear
    0:04:59 and this case this is only two tunnels i can clear
    0:05:04 so next on router 1 through look at the debug crypto
    0:05:08 debug crypto isakmp
    0:05:11 now its
    0:05:12 its fairly likely here that the problem is related to phase one in this tunnel
    0:05:19 because when i was sending the traffic i did not see the state being qmi
    0:05:26 so debug crypto
    0:05:29 crypto isakmp its likely that this is going to give me some more information about exactly whats going on
    0:05:35 and Am going send these
    0:05:37 these log messages directly to the consoles we will say login console
    0:05:42 end with 7
    0:05:46 login console 7
    0:05:49 then again i will try to initiate the traffic from switch 2
    0:05:53 going to router 4
    0:05:56 now we could see that it did generate the debug output
    0:06:01 both on router 1 and router 3
    0:06:06 this tells me a little bit more about the situation of the network configuration
    0:06:11 and in minimum
    0:06:13 i now know the crypto map is properly applied
    0:06:17 on both router 1 and router 3
    0:06:20 the crypto map in on the wrong interface
    0:06:23 then it would not initiate isakmp
    0:06:27 additionally its telling me that the accesslist
    0:06:30 that is used for the phase 2
    0:06:33 is correct atleast on router 1
    0:06:37 because remember that proxy acl of it proxy identity
    0:06:41 is what controls the initiation of the crypto map
    0:06:44 based on the fact that i originated traffic from the
    0:06:50 182.168 address on switch 2
    0:06:54 and this was triggering the debug up on router 1
    0:06:56 that's going to tell me that the accesslist should be correctly matching
    0:07:00 that source
    0:07:05 so lets now look at router 1 & router 3 and see if can figure out some more information about this
    0:07:10 i want to see what happened to router 1 when we try to intitiate the tunnel
    0:07:15 it says that we are
    0:07:19 staring a peer
    0:07:21 negotiation with router 3
    0:07:23 so least i know that the peers address is correct
    0:07:28 say we are starting main mode
    0:07:31 i send my first initial request
    0:07:36 and iam now looking for the response
    0:07:40 coming back in
    0:07:44 say i receive the packet from router 3
    0:07:48 notify as no hash it is rejected
    0:07:52 i node input from message from peer
    0:07:56 basically what this means
    0:07:59 it doesn't have exactly what the problem is
    0:08:01 but it tells us what ever information was in are initial request here
    0:08:07 was rejected by router 3
    0:08:10 does not why it was rejected just that
    0:08:13 what ever option i am trying to using the tunnel
    0:08:15 or
    0:08:16 more than likely in the proposal
    0:08:19 is something that router 3 does not have configured
    0:08:23 so now i need to look at the debug on the responder
    0:08:27 which is router 3 and see if its going to give us some more information about exactly whats going out in the tunnel
    0:08:34 so lets look at the start of the negotiation here
    0:08:38 says i receive the packet from router 1
    0:08:45 iam now going to respond
    0:08:48 to the first main mode message
    0:08:54 so atleast we know that we have a peer configure to router 1
    0:08:58 and then encrypt on the interface
    0:09:01 its also telling it is nothing being filtered out at udp port 500
    0:09:06 because router 1 is sending then us to 3 and getting them
    0:09:10 3 is responding going back to 1
    0:09:13 so there no transport problem in isakmp
    0:09:17 say whats going on with the actual policies
    0:09:22 say i am now checking
    0:09:24 my isakmp policy
    0:09:26 i have policy no. 10 and i have policy no. 20
    0:09:31 for policy no. 10 i checked with router 1 send
    0:09:35 but the encryption algorithm didn't match
    0:09:38 so those attributes are not acceptable
    0:09:41 this means that policy no. 10 i can not use it, i am now going to get on to the next one
    0:09:48 for policy no. 20 its says likewise the encryption no. does not match
    0:09:54 the attributes are not acceptable
    0:09:57 no offers are accepted so the phase 1 security policy association is not acceptable
    0:10:06 what this is telling us here
    0:10:08 is that the attributes that router 1 has configured
    0:10:12 does not match what router 3
    0:10:15 is also using for that tunnel
    0:10:18 now this necessarily tell us exactly what the difference is
    0:10:22 it says the encryption does not match
    0:10:24 there should potentially be other issues with the tunnel
    0:10:27 but we atleast now know that this is the problem so phase 1 security association policy
    0:10:34 so we are deleting the peer and then this is going to happen over and over and over
    0:10:38 the router 1 tries to initiate the tunnel
    0:10:42 router 3 does not find any matching isakmp Policies so it is rejected
    0:10:48 now at this point what we may need to do is actually look at the configuration
    0:10:52 i now want to know what is the isakmp policy
    0:10:57 that router 3 has configured
    0:10:59 and what are the policies that one
    0:11:02 have configured, i will say show run
    0:11:04 section isakmp policy
    0:11:11 router 1 for policy no. 10
    0:11:14 iam using mb 5 pre-share authentication and route no.5
    0:11:19 now this no. here on router 1 does not have to match with router 3 has this a locally syn value
    0:11:24 as long as the attributes themselves agree
    0:11:28 so on router 3
    0:11:31 i have a policy that is running
    0:11:35 md 5 pre-share authentication on group 5
    0:11:40 which is this one
    0:11:43 we will notice that the encryption algorithm appears here
    0:11:47 but not here on router 1
    0:11:51 now if we look at the show crypto
    0:11:54 isakmp policy
    0:11:56 this is going to show us the details all
    0:11:59 if we compare these between
    0:12:02 router 1 and router 3
    0:12:06 the difference is that router 1 is trying to use single
    0:12:11 and router 3 is trying to use triple s
    0:12:17 so this is one of the issues to start the attributes do not match
    0:12:20 so i can change this now
    0:12:22 lets see
    0:12:24 if i were to say encryption
    0:12:27 triple s lets see if this is going to fix it
    0:12:31 and switch to lets send
    0:12:34 send the packets again
    0:12:43 3 now got a log message
    0:12:46 its says crypto isakmp bad message
    0:12:50 the IKE message from router 1 failed insanity check
    0:12:56 or is now formed
    0:13:01 now this is kind of a odd log message
    0:13:05 and if we didn't earn exactly what this means its kind of hard to track this down
    0:13:09 but essentially what it is saying
    0:13:12 is that during the authentication process
    0:13:15 i am essentially running
    0:13:17 a hashed check agings the packet
    0:13:21 that if my authentication is as same as yours
    0:13:26 that the hashes should match up
    0:13:32 so what router 1 is computing is its hash does it match what router 3 is using as its hash
    0:13:36 so with the authentication they don't need exactly exchange the password for save
    0:13:40 its more kind like of PP chat authentication works
    0:13:44 or they are exchanging a hash value
    0:13:46 you could compute your version of it in compared with mine
    0:13:49 if they match then we can imply the authentication was successful
    0:13:54 so its doesn't actually mean that there is something wrong with the packet
    0:13:57 either there is wrong with the authentication
    0:14:00 and if we look at the debug crypto isakmp again
    0:14:09 lets also look at the show crypto isakmp sa
    0:14:16 1 and 3
    0:14:21 and lets to send packets again
    0:14:23 what we may see that the
    0:14:31 the show crypto isakmp sa
    0:14:34 says that we are stuck in key change
    0:14:39 this is one of the possible indication of an authentications of an authentication problem
    0:14:45 but we look at the detail of debug here lets look on router 3
    0:14:50 and lets look at the proposal process where
    0:14:54 before we got to
    0:14:56 the first portion of a main mode
    0:14:59 we now go to the actual policy exchange the proposal process
    0:15:03 router 3 now says the attributes are acceptable
    0:15:07 so we are going to use policy,so we are using policy no.10
    0:15:14 once the policy now agreed upon
    0:15:17 now we actually go to the authentication process
    0:15:20 we should see that
    0:15:24 we found a preshare key for a neighbour
    0:15:33 and the authentication is success for right now its saying, that
    0:15:42 the message is now formed
    0:15:48 so its a kind of obsure here because it doesn't comes straight out and tell us the authentication has failed
    0:15:54 it just says that
    0:15:56 we got to
    0:16:00 the portion where
    0:16:01 the basic security association is about to establish
    0:16:04 because the proposal process was correct
    0:16:07 but then we were trying to authenticate it and its not working
    0:16:10 the end is this output here which is this send which i have failed
    0:16:18 now if we look at the show run include crypto here
    0:16:23 and compare this between router 3 and router 1
    0:16:28 for pre-share key it should be pretty self explain to see if there is a problem here
    0:16:33 or on router 1 its says it says this is the key we are using on router 3
    0:16:38 router 3 is using
    0:16:41 a different password with router 1
    0:16:45 but again the problem is specially when the network starts to scale
    0:16:49 we have multiple tunnels if we are trying to deal with
    0:16:53 it can be hard to look at the output of the running config
    0:16:55 and do it debug of it line by line
    0:16:59 and again if this message either means that there is something wrong in the transit packet, like someone is trying to do
    0:17:05 some sort of man and middle attack
    0:17:07 but its more likely that this means
    0:17:09 that there is a problem in the authentication
    0:17:12 now for certificate authority that going to be a separate issue we will look at those debugs later
    0:17:17 configure out what are the potential problems that we run into
    0:17:20 but in general if
    0:17:22 i have my certificate and you have your certificate
    0:17:25 we both trust the ca
    0:17:27 there is a much
    0:17:29 more limited sets of problems we can run into with our same signatures
    0:17:34 then we can with the
    0:17:36 the pre-share key
    0:17:41 so lets this now, lets change this to
    0:17:44 the correct password
    0:17:47 where router 1 is using the password cisco
    0:17:52 router 3 was configured as the password cisco 1
    0:17:57 so now if we try this again
    0:18:01 then we could see its working so those two problems are ton between router 1 and router 3
    0:18:06 one of the issues is that the isakmp attributes didn't match
    0:18:10 the other issue was that the password did not match between for the authentication
    0:18:19 now we have a 2nd tunnel
    0:18:21 that is between router 3 and router 5
    0:18:25 this one used to protect traffic between
    0:18:28 this vlan 56 segment
    0:18:31 and the vlan 4
    0:18:34 the end points of the tunnel are router 3
    0:18:37 and router 5
    0:18:40 so i test this ideally i should be able to go to router 6
    0:18:43 and send a ping
    0:18:46 thats going to go
    0:18:48 this way to router 4
    0:18:50 and then ultimately get the responses back in
    0:18:58 so to start lets actually try this out on the data plane
    0:19:01 we ping the same address 172.16.4.4
    0:19:08 and on router 5 lets look at the show
    0:19:11 crypto isakmp i will say
    0:19:18 remember again we are looking for this output
    0:19:21 its should see the state is quick mode idle or qm-idle
    0:19:27 this means that our phase 1 negotiation was correct
    0:19:32 if we look at router 3 and do the same thing
    0:19:35 say show crypto
    0:19:38 isakmp sa
    0:19:43 router 3 does not have a sa to router 5
    0:19:49 what this most likely needs that i cleared the security association on 3 but not on 5
    0:19:55 so basically i need to reset the tunnel
    0:19:58 on router 5 i am going to say
    0:20:00 clear crypto isakmp
    0:20:05 also this message here
    0:20:07 was an indication of the problem on router 3
    0:20:10 says it received an ipsec
    0:20:12 packet from an invalid i
    0:20:15 so this was from tunnel router 5 previously had to router 3 had timed out
    0:20:24 lets try this again, lets ping from 6
    0:20:30 on 5 if we show crypto isakmp sa
    0:20:36 so there is no state
    0:20:39 so lets clear, lets say clear crypto sa
    0:20:43 and the leave both the
    0:20:45 both the phase 1 and the
    0:20:48 the phase 2 sa
    0:20:51 do this on 3 and 5
    0:20:55 because remember the lifetimes on the re-key they are indefinite for phase 1 and phase 2
    0:21:01 you could have phase 2 working and phase 1 cleared
    0:21:05 but the packets will actually still go through because phase 2 is what actually control the
    0:21:09 the final tunnel itself
    0:21:17 now lets show crypto isakmp sa again
    0:21:20 on router 5, 5 says to tunnel 3 is up
    0:21:26 3 says to tunnel 5 is up
    0:21:29 both of them are showing this in qm-idle this is what we want to see for phase 1
    0:21:37 so looks like the BASIC negotiations of the tunnel was working
    0:21:40 but the actual traffic is not getting through
    0:21:44 so the next thing i want to look at is whats going on in phase 2
    0:21:48 on router 3 lets look at the show crypto ipsec
    0:21:54 sa
    0:21:57 router 3 says i have a security association with router 5
    0:22:03 i am receiving packets and im sending packets
    0:22:08 so packets came in they were decapsulated
    0:22:12 and packets were sent back out they were encapsulated
    0:22:19 i have an inbound security association so this was received in from router 5
    0:22:25 i also have a outbound security association this is what sent to 5
    0:22:32 check the same thing on router 5 say show crypto
    0:22:38 show crypto ipsec
    0:22:41 sa
    0:22:44 router 5 says i have a security association to router 3
    0:22:50 i am encapsulating packets
    0:22:54 but i am not de-capsulating packets
    0:23:06 its says i have both on inbound and outbound security association
    0:23:13 but for reason iam not receiving packets back in
    0:23:21 this type of output is then typically an indication of what type of problem
    0:23:33 this would be something in the data plan
    0:23:37 now we look at the topology here
    0:23:40 again we are trying to get packets to go from 6 to 5
    0:23:44 5 is sending them in the tunnel to 3
    0:23:50 5 is saying that the packets got encapsulated
    0:23:55 they got to 3
    0:23:57 3 said they got decapsulated
    0:24:02
    0:24:09 now if we would go to router 4
    0:24:11 and look at the
    0:24:14 debug ip icmp
    0:24:17 we should see that these packets are actually getting from 6 to 4
    0:24:24 4 is getting them and 4 is responding
    0:24:27 but 6 is never receiving the response back and you can see this because the thing is zero percent success
    0:24:38 so something here is going under the topology where the packets are going
    0:24:41 in this direction
    0:24:45 and then back
    0:24:47 where they are getting lost somewhere beyond that
    0:24:55 so now we need to think about
    0:24:57 what are the different portions that make up the tunnel here
    0:25:01 now we know that there is the phase one
    0:25:05 the phase 1 negotiation which is using udp port 500
    0:25:11 then for phase 2 we establish the actual tunnel that is for the data plan
    0:25:16 this is either going to be esp
    0:25:20 or its going to be ah
    0:25:25 esp used ip protocol
    0:25:28 no. 50
    0:25:30 where authentication header this uses ip protocol no. 51
    0:25:36 so this means that for the tunnel to work we need to make sure that those two different flows that are allowed in the network
    0:25:43 udp 500 and ip no. 50
    0:25:47 or udp 500 and ip no. 51
    0:25:52 depending on what the transform says if it says esp it needs to be protocol 50 if its aa it needs to be protocol 51
    0:26:01 now notice here in the topology that we have
    0:26:05 an asa
    0:26:07 this is the inside network this is the outside network
    0:26:11 where we know the way the asa works the traffic is allowed to go from the high security to low
    0:26:18 in the out but it can only return
    0:26:23 if either the traffic was inspected
    0:26:27 or there is an exception with the accesslist filter
    0:26:33 so lets go to router 6 and
    0:26:36 lets continue to send this packets lets do
    0:26:40 lets do an extended thing lets ping 172.60.4.4
    0:26:45 with a high peek out we keep this going
    0:26:49 we will then go to asa 2 here
    0:26:53 and lets say
    0:26:59 we then go to asa 2 here
    0:27:04 and lets turn the login on
    0:27:07 so login console level 7 and login is on
    0:27:17 the asa is saying im denying inbound
    0:27:19 on the outside interface
    0:27:22 protocol no. 50
    0:27:25 that came from
    0:27:27 200.0.23.3
    0:27:30 going to 10.0.125.5
    0:27:35 so its dropping the tunnel returning from router 3 going back to 5
    0:27:43 and the reason this is happening
    0:27:45 as i mentioned before the phase 2 security association
    0:27:49 is 2 unidirectional sa's
    0:27:54 where the phase 1 sa
    0:27:57 is a bidirectional udp port 500
    0:28:00 so what happening here is, that if you establish a tunnel
    0:28:04 from behind some sort of filtering device
    0:28:07 router 6 sends the ping to 5
    0:28:12 5 sends the ike message which is udp 500
    0:28:20 this moves from the inside to the outside asa
    0:28:24 and an entry is made in the state table
    0:28:28 so the asa knows when 3 returns this ike packet
    0:28:34 its still udp 500, it should be allowed from outside to in
    0:28:39 once phase 1 is complete we don't need the udp 500 any more
    0:28:43 then 5 sends the ipsec message
    0:28:49 this is using esp
    0:28:51 which is ip protocol no. 50
    0:28:54 router 3 likewise tries to return this esp packet
    0:28:58 this is the one that is getting dropped
    0:29:05 now there is a couple of ways that we can solve this depending on what type of device is dropping the packet
    0:29:11 in the case of the routers ios
    0:29:14 we will have to simply do a manual accesslist exception
    0:29:18 to say allow protocol no. 50
    0:29:22 to come from the outside and move back in
    0:29:26 we could likewise do this in the case of asa
    0:29:29 or we have a another option
    0:29:32 and we are going to look at this again additionally when we go through the remote access vpn
    0:29:36 and go through passing the easy vpn point
    0:29:39 through the asa modular policy framework
    0:29:43 and what we can do as well when we turn off login
    0:29:47 lets say show run all policy map
    0:29:52 where right now we have the default inspection policy
    0:29:58 that is applied globally
    0:30:02 if we look at the show connections all
    0:30:06 we have the esp
    0:30:10 that is
    0:30:13 coming from the inside going to the outside
    0:30:20 and right now we don't have the udp port 500 lets clear the security associations again
    0:30:25 lets say
    0:30:27 clear crypto sa and clear crypto isakmp
    0:30:35 will see this on both 5 and 3
    0:30:41 now 6 is still running its ping so its should re-initiate the session
    0:30:45 we will look at the connections on the asa
    0:30:48 we should now see
    0:30:50 the upd port 500 match
    0:30:54 so it came from 5
    0:30:56 originally it when to 3, now the session is returning from outside to back in
    0:31:03 the esp packets are also in the inspection table
    0:31:08 where the problem is the asa is not going to allow them by default
    0:31:14 so the way we could fix this is go to the default inspection policy
    0:31:22 we have policy map global policy class inspection_default
    0:31:25 and we want to inspect ipsec pass-thru
    0:31:31 this is for when we have clients on the inside
    0:31:36 then trying to establish either esp or aah based tunnels
    0:31:42 to devices on the outside
    0:31:46 now we will see its not going to be the same of someone who is trying to run transparent tunnel
    0:31:51 with either not transparency
    0:31:54 or ipsec or udp or ipsec over tcp
    0:32:00 this is on only when we are natively trying to run the tunnel directly over the esp or ah
    0:32:05 and we want to allow the protol 50 to out and come back in
    0:32:09 or 51 to go out and come back in
    0:32:12 so if we look at 6 we should now see
    0:32:16 once the tunnel is reestablished i need to regenerate the security association again
    0:32:40 and may need to remove the policy on asa and reapply it
    0:32:49 lets look at 5 and say show crypto isakmp sa
    0:32:53 we have the phase tunnel of
    0:32:58 router 3 likewise as phase 1 tunnel
    0:33:03 we will show crypto isakmp sa
    0:33:09 we are receiving and sending packets
    0:33:13 if i say show crypto ipsec sa
    0:33:21 we are sending but not receiving packets
    0:33:24 this means that the asa is still dropping this gets turn logging back on lets say login
    0:33:30 console 7 login on
    0:33:35 deny inbound 50
    0:33:38 what you did you in here is most likely then is to remove the policy and then reapply it
    0:33:44 we will see is start again into to these more complicated scenarios
    0:33:48 where we have the ipsec and filtering going on at the same time
    0:33:53 some times we will see cases where you need to remove your firewall policy when you apply it
    0:33:59 or to remove your vpn policy
    0:34:02 which would be like to remove the crypto map when we apply it
    0:34:06 or as a worst case scenario
    0:34:08 you can reload the router, reload the asa and see if that fixes it
    0:34:13 but sometimes it just needs to restart the process
    0:34:16 and taking the crypto map off is doing to do that
    0:34:19 so lets say here show run policy map
    0:34:23 i am inspecting ipsec
    0:34:27 but its not actually applied so lets say
    0:34:30 show run service-policy
    0:34:37 and try removing
    0:34:42 the global inspection policy
    0:34:47 then re-applying it
    0:34:55 and then lets see restarting the tunnel
    0:34:58 we will clear crypto isakmp and clear crypto sa
    0:35:03 on both 3 & 5
    0:35:10 and on asa we look at the show connections
    0:35:15 and still we some of those left in those, lets say clear
    0:35:19 are connections all
    0:35:27 so right now there is no transit packets so lets
    0:35:29 i cannot router 6 to send these packets
    0:35:34 and now they start to go through, so
    0:35:36 for the last portion here there is nothing i changed to the configuration other than just removing the policy and then re-applying it
    0:35:42 and clearing the tunnels
    0:35:43 this is to make sure that the asa saw all the of the negotiation
    0:35:47 for both phase 1 and phase 2
    0:35:50 so it knows what to allow back in from the outside interface
    0:35:56 now the other alternative to this
    0:35:58 as opposed to saying inspect ipsec pass through
    0:36:02 because this is only now going to work inside out and then returning
    0:36:07 so for example if i were to go to 3 & 5 lets clear the tunnel again
    0:36:17 clear the tunnel on both of them
    0:36:19 if i go to router 4
    0:36:23 if i go to router 4 and we ping 10.0.56.6
    0:36:29 sourcing traffic from 172.16.4.4
    0:36:42 what we should see
    0:36:45 is that this is going to be
    0:36:48 denied, lets look at 5 and say show
    0:36:53 crypto isakmp sa
    0:36:57 we have the tunnel from 3 lets try to clear these again
    0:37:08 and lets take a look at the asa lets say show run accesslist
    0:37:13 so the asa is not statickly permitting anything in
    0:37:16 lets also say clear connections all
    0:37:26 what we should see is that when 4 tries to intitiate the tunnel
    0:37:30 and if we look at the diagram the difference here
    0:37:33 is that previously
    0:37:35 the tunnel started at
    0:37:38 6, went to 5, 5 send the tunnel to 3
    0:37:43 from the asa this was coming from in to out
    0:37:46 so this is allowed
    0:37:47 then the return traffic
    0:37:49 is allowed as well, because it is a response
    0:37:52 to something that is already inspected
    0:37:55 but now in this case iam coming from the outside and going unsolicited to the inside
    0:38:02 so its a ping here from 4 to 3
    0:38:07 but then from 3 to the asa this is udp 500
    0:38:13 we should see this is going to be dropped outside in
    0:38:19 if we look at the asa
    0:38:21 and turn login back on, logging console 7 login on
    0:38:28 and send these pings
    0:38:32 the asa is going to say that udp 500 was dropped
    0:38:39 so this means with the that the configuration that is for inspecting the ipsec pass through
    0:38:44 this is only going to help you if the tunnel is initiated from the inside going to the outside
    0:38:50 if we are going the other way around
    0:38:52 or we don't want to say inspect ipsec pass through
    0:38:54 what we need to do is say
    0:38:57 accesslist outside in
    0:39:00 permit udp
    0:39:02 we will say no log in on
    0:39:06 accesslist outside in permit udp any any equal to 500
    0:39:12 and, of course we could be more specific we would say end point to the tunnel
    0:39:17 but as a general case permit udp 500
    0:39:21 and permit esp
    0:39:23 and permit ah if you are using ah in the transform set
    0:39:28 then ip access group
    0:39:31 outside in in interface outside
    0:39:36 it was access group
    0:39:38 then we look at the show accesslist
    0:39:44 when we try initiate the tunnel from the outside in
    0:39:51 now its going to be allowed
    0:39:53 if we look on the asa
    0:39:56 with the traffic is allowed
    0:39:59 here with udp
    0:40:01 then eventually were are going to get the hits on
    0:40:06 the esp flows as well
    0:40:14 so from show accesslist, eventually once the hit count updates
    0:40:19 for the acl we would see matches here for line no.2
    0:40:26 so you could see even for the most basic tunnel configuration
    0:40:31 there are a lot of different variables that we need into account
    0:40:35 so first step did the phase negotiation work
    0:40:39 so for phase 1 again this is going to be the isakmp sa
    0:40:45 which is going to using udp 500
    0:40:48 so first step is the transport work
    0:40:50 if udp 500 is filtered out doesn't matter what the attributes say
    0:40:55 if the transport is working then we need to look at the policy
    0:40:58 does the authentication, the encryption, the hash algorithm, and the dp 100 group match
    0:41:06 if the policy is acceptable did the authentication actually work
    0:41:10 if so then we go on to phase 2 which is the ip sa
    0:41:16 the end result of this is either going to be esp which is using ip protocol no. 50
    0:41:22 or it is going to use ah which is using ip protocol no. 51
    0:41:28 we need to make sure not only the transform set agrees
    0:41:32 like i were using esp or ah or using aes
    0:41:36 mp 5 sha etc.
    0:41:40 do the proxy acls match
    0:41:42 so are they mere images of each other
    0:41:45 are the peer addresses correct
    0:41:47 and finally is this traffic flow actually allowed
    0:41:50
