Solved: I've attached what i know to

Nedeljko Scepanovic · ‎08-28-2015

Hi, how are you :).

I have one question, about router Cisco 2911, and Juniper Netscreen 25, ver 5.4. I must start IP Sec tunnel between these two devices. I must use agressive mode, I saw this in configuration document. Question, how can I use agressive mode, I did not found anything? I worked with IPSec, but I did not change Phase 1 mode never , I think, always was main mode. I want to use Crypto map. (We can not use tunnel interface)

Have a nice day :)

PHASE 1 (IKE Policy)
Authentication Method	Pre-shared key
DH Group (1, 2 i 5)	Group 2
Encryption Algorithm	3DES
Hash Algorithm	MD5
Lifetime	1440 Minutes (= = 86400 seconds)
Supports Aggressive Mode	YES
PHASE 2 (IPSec Parameters)
Perfect Forward Secrecy	DH Group 2
Encapsulation	Encryption (ESP)
Encryption Algorithm	3DES
Authentication Algorithm	SHA1
Lifetime	1440 Minutes (= = 86400 seconds)

I've attached what i know to be a working config because i just created this on GNS3.

Your ACL is not correct it should be source to destination not destination to source.

You are missing the following config. The address should be the routers local address.

set aggressive-mode client-endpoint ipv4-address x.x.x.x

View solution in original post

Robert Hillcoat · ‎08-28-2015

You can use the commands below to set aggressive mode.

crypto isakmp peer address x.x.x.x
set aggressive-mode password 'password'
set aggressive-mode client-endpoint ipv4-address x.x.x.x

Here is a short explanation of the difference between the modes.

Hi Robert, thank you for the fast answer :). set aggressive-mode password 'password', is the same password, like from line, crypto isakmp key 'password' address x.x.x.x ????

Is this working configuration, I wrote from my head? I did not check my configuration

crypto isakmp policy 60
encr esp
authentication pre-share
group 2
lifetime 86400
crypto isakmp peer address x.x.x.x
set aggressive-mode password 'password'
set aggressive-mode client-endpoint ipv4-address x.x.x.x

crypto isakmp key 'password' address x.x.x.x.
!
!
crypto ipsec transform-set VPN esp-aes esp-md5-hmac
!
crypto map VPN 60 ipsec-isakmp
set peer x.x.x.x
set transform-set VPN
set pfs group2
match address VPN

and int config mode,

int g0

crypto map VPN

You don't require the line "crypto isakmp key 'password' address x.x.x.x." You've already specified the password.

use the commands such as debug crypto ipsec, debug crypto isakmp, debug crypto engine to troubleshoot.

Instead of doing this from your head you should lab this up and check it works first.

Hi Robert, How are you ?

I got my config from router, and I have errors, I try with aggressive mode, a got some errors....I am very close :) What you think ?

This command only specifies a tunnel-client-endpoint attribute - fqdn or address, actually you could input any address as long as it complies with IP format, even the same address on both ends.
