Configuring Router-to-Router IPsec (Pre-shared Keys) on GRE Tunnel with IOS Firewall and NAT - Cisco Systems

Configuring Router-to-Router IPsec (Pre-shared Keys) on GRE Tunnel with IOS Firewall and NAT - Cisco Systems

This document illustrates a basic Cisco IOS Firewall configuration with Network Address Translation (NAT). This configuration allows traffic to be initiated from inside the 10.1.1.x and 172.16.1.x networks to the Internet and NATed along the way. A generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnel is added to tunnel IP and IPX traffic between two private networks. When a packet arrives at the outbound interface of the router and if it is sent down the tunnel, it is first encapsulated using GRE and then encrypted with IPsec. In other words, any traffic permitted to enter the GRE tunnel is also encrypted by IPsec.

In order to configure the GRE Tunnel over IPsec with Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), refer to Configuring a GRE Tunnel over IPSec with OSPF.

In order to configure a hub and spoke IPsec design between three routers, refer to Configuring IPsec Router-to-Router Hub and Spoke with Communication Between the Spokes.

Quality of Service for Virtual Private Networks - Cisco Systems

Quality of Service for Virtual Private Networks - Cisco Systems

Feature Overview
When packets are encapsulated by tunnel or encryption headers, Quality of Service (QoS) features are unable to examine the original packet headers and correctly classify the packets. Packets traveling across the same tunnel have the same tunnel headers, so the packets are treated identically if the physical interface is congested.
With the growing popularity of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), the need to classify traffic within a traffic tunnel is gaining importance. QoS features have historically been unable to classify traffic within a tunnel. With the introduction of the Quality of Service for Virtual Private Networks (QoS for VPNs) feature, packets can now be classified before tunneling and encryption occur. The process of classifying features before tunneling and encryption allows routers to configure QoS features and tunneling and cypto maps on the same interface.
The QoS for VPNs feature is designed for tunnel interfaces. When the new feature is enabled, the QoS features on the output interface classify packets before encryption, allowing traffic flows to be adjusted in congested environments. The end result is more effective packet tunneling.
QoS for VPNs is supported for Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), IP in IP (IPIP) tunnels, Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F), Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP), and IPSec.
Benefits
The QoS for VPNs feature provides a solution for making Cisco IOS Quality of Service services operate in conjunction with tunneling and encryption on an interface. Cisco IOS software can classify packets and apply the appropriate QoS service before the data is encrypted and tunneled. The QoS for VPN feature allows users to look inside the packet so that packet classification can be done based on original port numbers and based on source and destination IP addresses. This allows the service provider to treat mission critical or multi-service traffic with higher priority across their network.
Restrictions
- Interfaces running cascading QoS features, such as generic traffic shaping or custom queuing, are required to have QoS for VPNs enabled or disabled on all cascading features. If the QoS for VPNs feature is enabled on one cascading feature, the QoS for VPNs feature must be enabled on all cascading features. Similarly, if the QoS for VPNs feature is disabled on one cascading feature, the QoS for VPNs feature must be disabled on all cascading features.
- QoS for VPNs cannot be used in conjunction with generic traffic shaping and custom queuing in Cisco 2600 and Cisco 3600 series routers only.

Configuring a GRE Tunnel over IPSec with OSPF - Cisco Systems

Configuring a GRE Tunnel over IPSec with OSPF - Cisco Systems

Normal IP Security (IPSec) configurations cannot transfer routing protocols, such as Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), or non-IP traffic, such as Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) and AppleTalk. This document illustrates how to route between different networks that use a routing protocol and non-IP traffic with IPSec. This example uses generic routing encapsulation (GRE) in order to accomplish routing between the different networks.

Refer to Configuring IPsec Router-to-Router Hub and Spoke with Communication Between the Spokes for information on how to configure a hub and spoke IPSec design between three routers.

Refer to Configuring Router-to-Router IPSec (Pre-shared Keys) on GRE Tunnel with IOS Firewall and NAT for information on how to configure the basic Cisco IOS® Firewall configuration on a GRE tunnel with Network Address Translation (NAT).

BGP / Scalable Policy Routing (NIL IP Corner Article)

Scalable Policy Routing / Nil IP Corner
Network designers and implementers try to avoid policy routing, as its common implementation in Cisco IOS requires a complex mix of access-lists and route-maps that have to be deployed on a hop-by-hop basis. In most cases, distance vector routing protocols can be used to implement policy routing requirements in large networks. The article describes how you can use BGP to implement an architecture where a set of applications should prefer a different subset of links than other applications.

Summary
Most network designers and implementers try to avoid policy routing, as its common implementation in Cisco IOS requires a complex mix of access-lists and route-maps that have to be deployed on a hop-by-hop basis. In reality, distance vector routing protocols can be used to implement common policy routing requirements in enterprise networks where a set of applications should prefer a different subset of links than other applications.
Routing protocol-based policy routing should be implemented (if at all possible) with BGP, as it gives you the richest set of tools to use to influence the route selection policy. EIGRP is a viable alternative (you can manipulate the delay portion of the metric for each individual IP prefix), with RIP being the solution of last resort. You cannot implement the same mechanisms with any link-state protocol, as you cannot increase the link cost for individual IP prefixes (OSPF with type-of-service support would allow you to do that, but it’s never been implemented in a mainstream routing device).

Obtain a Digital Certificate from a Microsoft Windows CA using ASDM on an ASA

How to obtain a Digital Certificate from a Microsoft Windows CA using ASDM on an ASA (Cisco Systems)
Digital certificates can be used to authenticate network devices and users on the network. They can be used to negotiate IPSec sessions between network nodes.
Cisco devices identify themselves securely on a network in three main ways:

Pre-Shared Keys. Two or more devices can have the same shared secret key. Peers authenticate each other by computing and sending a keyed hash of data that includes the preshared key. If the receiving peer is able to create the same hash independently using its preshared key, it knows that both peers must share the same secret, thus authenticating the other peer. This method is manual and not very scalable.

Self-Signed Certificates. A device generates its own certificate and signs it as being valid. This type of certificate should have limited usage. Using this certificate with SSH and HTTPS access for configuration purposes are good examples. A separate username/password pair is needed to complete the connection.
Note: Persistent Self-Signed Certificates survive router reloads because they are saved in the nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) of the device. Refer to Persistent Self-Signed Certificates for more information. One good example of use is with SSL VPN (WebVPN) connections.

Certificate Authority Certificate. A third party validates and authenticates the two or more nodes that attempt to communicate. Each node has a public and private key. The public key encrypts data, and the private key decrypts data. Because they have obtained their certificates from the same source, they can be assured of their respective identities. The ASA device can obtain a digital certificate from a third-party with a manual enrollment method or an automatic enrollment method.
Note: The enrollment method and type of digital certificate you choose is dependent upon the features and functions of each third-party product. Contact the vendor of the certificate service for more information.

The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) can use pre-shared keys or digital certificates provided by a third-party Certificate Authority (CA) to authenticate IPSec connections. In addition, the ASA can produce its own self-signed digital certificate. This should be used for SSH, HTTPS, and Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM) connections to the device.

This document demonstrates the procedures necessary to automatically obtain a digital certificate from a Microsoft Certificate Authority (CA) for the ASA. It does not include the manual method of enrollment. This document uses ASDM for the configuration steps, as well as presents the final command-line interface (CLI ) configuration.

Dynamic IPsec Between a Statically Addressed IOS Router and the Dynamically Addressed PIX Firewall with NAT Configuration Example

Dynamic IPsec Between a Statically Addressed IOS Router and the Dynamically Addressed PIX Firewall with NAT Configuration Example
(Cisco Systems)
This document provides a sample configuration that shows you how to enable the IOS router to accept dynamic IPsec connections from an PIX Firewall. The remote router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) if private network 10.0.0.x accesses the Internet. Traffic from 10.0.0.x to private network 10.1.0.x behind the PIX is excluded from the NAT process. The PIX Firewall can initiate connections to the router, but the router cannot initiate connections to the PIX.
This configuration uses a Cisco IOS router in order to create dynamic IPsec LAN-to-LAN (L2L) tunnels with a PIX Firewall that receives dynamic IP addresses on their public interface (outside interface). Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a mechanism in order to allocate IP addresses dynamically from the Internet service provider (ISP). This allows IP addresses to be reused when hosts no longer need them.

VRF-lite Based Group Encrypted Transport VPN  - Cisco Systems

VRF-lite Based Group Encrypted Transport VPN [Group Encrypted Transport VPN] - Cisco Systems
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) provide a highly secure way for customers to share bandwidth over an ISP backbone network. A VPN is a collection of sites sharing a common routing table. A customer site is connected to the service provider network by one or more interfaces, and the service provider associates each interface with a VPN routing table. A VPN routing table is called a VPN routing/forwarding (VRF) table. VRFs are generally associated with MPLS based VPNs.
With the VRF-lite feature, multiple VPN routing/forwarding instances can be supported in customer edge devices. VRF-lite extends limited PE functionality to a CE device, giving it the ability to maintain separate VRF tables to extend the privacy and security of a VPN to the branch office. This also helps the customer to share the same CE for various internal departments while maintaining separate VRF table for each department.
Now, the intention of this document is to enable Cisco IOS GET VPN on the CE's VRF-lite interfaces. Cisco IOS GET VPN is well documented at http://www.cisco.com/go/getvpn.

Cisco ECT-Based Group Encrypted Transport VPN - Cisco Systems

Cisco ECT-Based Group Encrypted Transport VPN - Cisco Systems [Group Encrypted Transport VPN]
The Cisco IOS Software-based Group Encrypted Transport Virtual Private Network (Cisco IOS GET VPN) is a tunnel-less technology that provides end-to-end security for voice, video, and data in a native mode for a fully meshed network. It uses the core network's ability to route and replicate the packets between various sites within the enterprise. Cisco IOS GET VPN preserves the original source and destination addresses in the encryption header for optimal routing; hence, it is largely suited for an enterprise running over a private Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)/IP-based core network. Cisco IOS GET VPN uses Group Domain of Interpretation (GDOI) as the keying protocol for encrypting and decrypting the data packets.

Grouping Using the Muenchian Method (Jeni's XSLT Pages)

Grouping Using the Muenchian Method (Jeni's XSLT Pages)
Grouping is a common problem in XSLT stylesheets: how do you take a list of elements and arrange them into groups. One of the most common situations in which it occurs is when you are getting XML output from a database. The database usually gives you results that are structured according to the records in the database.
