Cisco CSR 1000V IPSec VPN & Windows Server 2012 R2 RRAS

Hi Everyone

I'm trying to establish an IPSec VPN between a Cisco CSR 1000V which is running in Microsoft Azure and an on premises Windows Server 2012 R2 RRAS server. I've used the sample configuration file from the deployment guide but am unable to get a connection established. When I initiate the connection from my on premises RRAS server, the error message is:

RoutingDomainID- {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}: A Demand Dial connection to the remote interface Cisco CSR 1000V on port VPN2-126 was successfully initiated but failed to complete successfully because of the following error: IKE authentication credentials are unacceptable

I've confirmed that both pre-shared keys are the same at both ends and suspect that the issue could be with my configuration of the CSR 1000V virtual device because I've configured another IPSec VPN from Azure using a Microsoft Azure Gateway (which according to Microsoft's documentation is a pair of RRAS servers running in an Active/Standby configuration), to my on premises RRAS server and this connects almost instantly.

I am not a very experienced user of Cisco products. We are looking to trial this solution and purchase later on if needs be. The configuration script that I am using from the deployment guide is below:

Any help is most appreciated.

Hi Dude,

AFAIK windows supports PPTP and L2TP. What you are configuring on Cisco is IPsec which will not work.

Please refer this guide to setup VPN between windows and cisco box.

TIA

Hi Hitesh

Thanks for the reply. Windows RRAS does support IPSec, thats what the Microsoft Gateway uses and I can successfully establish a connection from on premises with it.

Kind Regards

hi Shaun,

AFAIK, IPsec is supported over L2TP not at IP layer on microsoft devices except Azure NVGRE gateways.

Thanks

Hitesh

Thanks Hitesh.

Will try the document that you sent over.

Kind Regards

Shaun
