Agenda IPsec Design Options IPsec Design Issues Topologies High Availability Split Tunneling Device Placement IPsec Management
High-Availability  Design Stateless options today: IPsec and Dead Peer Detection  IPsec and HSRP  IPsec/GRE : Routing Protocols Head-End Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet 10.1.5.0 VPN VPN
Dead Peer Detection (IKE keepalives) Supported on IOS, Pix, VPN 3000, Cisco VPN Client hellos are sent between IKE peers that have  active  tunnels established  Will detect dead peers (stale IPsec SAs) On the third hello packet failure, IKE attempts to set up a new tunnel to the next peer in list S1 Head-End R1 HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet S2 P1 VPN Client Hello Hello Hello
DPD is an optimization to IKE keepalives : "I don't  bother to check peer by sending keepalive,  if I am receiving data  from peer" DPD compatibility : IOS 12.2(8)T and later Pix 6.0 and later VPN 3000 3.0 and later Dead Peer Detection vs IKE keepalives
High Availability with Dead Peer Detection  Head-End Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet X crypto map IPSEC 10 match address 10 set peer 1.1.1.1 set peer 1.1.1.2 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.2
IPsec and HSRP+  Supported on IOS HSRP address used as tunnel endpoint Active device terminates IPsec tunnel In the event of failure, standby device takes over (SAs will be renegotiated) Head-End Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet X
High Availability with IPsec and HSRP+  Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet X 1.1.1..3 crypto map IPSEC 10 match address 10 set peer 1.1.1.3 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA interface Ethernet1/0  ip address  1.1.1.1  255.255.255.248  standby 1 ip  1.1.1.3 standby 1 priority 200  standby 1 preempt  standby 1 name VPNHA   standby 1 track Ethernet1/1 150  crypto map VPN  redundancy VPNHA
Reverse Route Injection (RRI)  Because IOS is active-active, and it is not possible for the next-hop-device to know which router “has” the active tunnel, Reverse Route Injection (RRI) is required for state tracking Works with DPD and HSRP+ 12.2(8)T Head-End Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet 10.1.5.0 who should I send traffic to for 10.1.5.0 ?
Reverse Route Injection Example  crypto isakmp keepalive 10  ! crypto map vpn 20 ipsec-isakmp  set peer 2.2.2.2  set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA match address 102  reverse-route   !  Head-End Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet X 2.2.2.2
RRI In Action RRI triggers when SA goes down Head-End Remote Internet 10.1.5.0/24 P S SA Established To Primary Sending IKE Keepalives (2) Router P RRI:“I can reach 10.1.5.0” (3) 10.1.5.0/24 via P (8) 10.1.5.0/24 via S (5) Secondary Active (6) New SA Established To Secondary Sending IKE Keepalives (7) Router S RRI:“I can reach 10.1.5.0” = Unscheduled Immediate Memory Initialization Routine (4)
High Availability with IPsec/GRE Just plain routing ! (OSPF, EIGRP...) Routing copes with some failures other methods can't detect Local and Geographical redundancy possible Except under failure conditions: The IPsec and GRE tunnels are  always  up since routing protocols are  always  running Head-End Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet
High Availability with IPsec/GRE Head-End Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet Remote : ! int tunnel  1 ...... ip ospf cost 10 ..... ! int tunnel 2 ...... ip ospf cost 20 ...... tunnel 1 tunnel 2 HE-1 ! int tunnel  1 ...... ip ospf cost 10 ..... HE-2 ! int tunnel  2 ...... ip ospf cost 10 .....
Local/Geographical Failover/Load-Balancing The Cisco VPN Client supports the notion of backup servers for high availability PIX, 3000, and IOS compatible The 3000 Concentrator also supports local clustering Supports local load sharing (not geographical) DNS resolution based load balancing could also be used as the client resolves the FQDN of the head-end device (geographical)
Key:  DPD = Dead Peer Detection; RP = Routing Protocol; RRI = Reverse Route Injection High Availability Summary Remote Device Head-end Device IOS PIX 3000 IOS PIX Failover 3000 RP DPD (RRI) HSRP+ (RRI) DPD DPD(RRI)  DPD DPD DPD(RRI) DPD(RRI) HSRP+  (RRI) DPD (RRI) HSRP+ (RRI) DPD (RRI)

Routing copes with some failures other methods can't detect Local and Geographical redundancy possible Except under failure conditions: The IPsec and GRE tunnels are always up since routing protocols are always running Head-End Remote HE-2 HE-1 Internet Corporate Intranet

    Local/Geographical Failover/Load-Balancing TheCisco VPN Client supports the notion of backup servers for high availability PIX, 3000, and IOS compatible The 3000 Concentrator also supports local clustering Supports local load sharing (not geographical) DNS resolution based load balancing could also be used as the client resolves the FQDN of the head-end device (geographical)

    Split Tunneling Should it be allowed ? Policy Decision ! If allowed, firewall is needed at remote end Cisco VPN Client - $0 firewall Default stops incoming connections; allows outgoing connections Firewall active even when VPN client is not connected Firewall policies can be pushed from VPN 3000 concentrator
