GRE over IPSec ASA

foxdeniss
Level 1
Level 1

Hello.

I want to create a vpn reservation system between offices.

LAN1 - ROUTER1 - ASA1 = (ISP1,2) = ASA2 - ROUTER2 - LAN2

I have 2 ASA with 2 ISP on each, and I have 2 routers on each branch with base license.

I create 2 VPN tunnels between ASAs and 2 GRE tunnels on routers  and EIGRP.

As result:

If I manualy create VPN and after I create GRE all is ok. If channel falls, VPN tunnel is ok, but GRE not work.

If I enter on both ASAs: clear conn address x.x.x.x, then GRE tunnels get up.

As I understand, GRE tunnel creates before IPSEC.

Please help, how GRE can get up automaticaly?

Would the GRE terminate on a dynamic-map on one side?

If that's the case, then you need "sysopt connection reclassify-vpn " on that particular device. because if not, you would create a connection directly through the FW without considering encryption [ since there was no crypto rules at the time of the connection creation]

Dynamic-maps on both sides are empty, is it OK?

I've  added  "sysopt connection reclassify-vpn" on both sides, but GRE did not get up.

Is reboot needed for applying?

Maybe something wrong in sysopt:

#show run all sysopt

no sysopt connection timewait

sysopt connection tcpmss 1380

sysopt connection tcpmss minimum 0

sysopt connection permit-vpn

sysopt connection reclassify-vpn

sysopt connection preserve-vpn-flows

no sysopt nodnsalias inbound

no sysopt nodnsalias outbound

no sysopt radius ignore-secret

no sysopt noproxyarp OUTSIDE

no sysopt noproxyarp DMZ

no sysopt noproxyarp test_vlan

no sysopt noproxyarp vlan_test_2

no sysopt noproxyarp local

no sysopt noproxyarp management

no sysopt noproxyarp outside2

Still assuming you are terminated the gre on a dynamic-map on 1 side. then you would have to clear local-host on the side with the dyn-map.


Can you provide sanitized show run?

Part of show run about crypto map:

crypto dynamic-map SYSTEM_DEFAULT_CRYPTO_MAP 65535 set transform-set ESP-DES-SHA ESP-DES-MD5

crypto dynamic-map SYSTEM_DEFAULT_CRYPTO_MAP_1 65535 set transform-set ESP-DES-SHA ESP-DES-MD5

crypto map OUTSIDE_map 1 match address OUTSIDE_cryptomap_2

crypto map OUTSIDE_map 1 set peer x.x.x.x

crypto map OUTSIDE_map 1 set transform-set ESP-DES-SHA ESP-DES-MD5

crypto map OUTSIDE_map 65535 ipsec-isakmp dynamic SYSTEM_DEFAULT_CRYPTO_MAP

crypto map OUTSIDE_map interface OUTSIDE

crypto map outside2_map0 1 match address outside2_cryptomap

crypto map outside2_map0 1 set peer y.y.y.y

crypto map outside2_map0 1 set transform-set ESP-DES-SHA ESP-DES-MD5

crypto map outside2_map0 65535 ipsec-isakmp dynamic SYSTEM_DEFAULT_CRYPTO_MAP_1

crypto map outside2_map0 interface outside2

Configs are the same on both side.

Would be good to get  a packet tracer taken from both sides

packet-tracer input rawip 47 detailled

New results are bellow

I recreate rules for interfaces, nothing changed, results:

Hi Denis,

You may be running into this known issue:

CSCse36327

The workaround:

- For a dynamic crypto map, use a match address statement for the GRE traffic.

- If the crypto map and/or isakmp is removed and reapplied, perform a "clear local-host" after that.


On PIX/ASA 8.0.2 or above:

- Issue 'sysopt connection reclassify-vpn' (save the config) and re-establish any existing tunnels.

I am not sure if your code version is included here, but even if you were running 8.0.2 or above I would suggest adding the crypto ACL as following:

access-list match-gre extended permit ip host tunnel-source host tunnel-destination

crypto dynamic-map dyn_outside 5 match address match-gre

HTH.

Portu.

Please rate any helpful posts

Hello.

I've done next:

'sysopt connection reclassify-vpn' (save the config) and re-establish any existing tunnels.

to config:

access-list match-gre extended permit ip host 192.168.3.2 host 192.168.7.1

crypto dynamic-map SYSTEM_DEFAULT_CRYPTO_MAP_1 65535 match address match-gre

crypto dynamic-map SYSTEM_DEFAULT_CRYPTO_MAP_1 65535 set transform-set ESP-DES-SHA ESP-DES-MD5

crypto map outside2_map0 1 match address outside2_cryptomap

crypto map outside2_map0 1 set peer y.y.y.y

crypto map outside2_map0 1 set transform-set ESP-DES-SHA ESP-DES-MD5

crypto map outside2_map0 65535 ipsec-isakmp dynamic SYSTEM_DEFAULT_CRYPTO_MAP_1

crypto map outside2_map0 interface outside2

on each side.

clear crypto isakmp sa

clear crypto ipsec sa

clear conn addr 192.168.7.1

clear conn addr 192.168.3.2

I find one interesting thing:

One each ASA I have 2 ISP and routes:

route OUTSIDE 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 DG1 1
route outside2 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 DG2 15

route outside2 ASA2(ISP2) DG2 1
route OUTSIDE 192.168.6.0 255.255.255.0(gre1 point) DG1 1
route outside2 192.168.7.0 255.255.255.0 (gre2 point) DG2 1

After ouside2 shut/no shut, GRE2 not up, GRE1 is ok.

next I shutdown OUTSIDE, GRE1 down, but GRE2 goes UP.

After OUTSIDE no shut, GRE1 also goes UP, GRE2 - UP.

In this case channel reservation works, but why GRE2 not goes up after interfase up.

Thank you.

Hello,

If someone could help on my query that wold be more graceful.

I would like to know how many site to site connections can make on cisco pix 515E and 525 firewalls ...

Please reply ...

Thanks & Regards,

Sreeram

Dear Jennifer,

Thanks for your quick reply and I confirmed the number of connections from the given above link.

Thank you very much...

sreeram

Dear Jennifer,

Can u tell me this 2000 connections are whether software connections or hardware in the end devices..??

I need to know can we make 2000 hardware to hardware connections ?

Please advice which would be the least hardware to be used at the other end..

What do you mean by hardware to hardware connections? Do you mean site-to-site (lan-to-lan) VPN tunnels?

How many site-to-site tunnels do you need?

Pls kindly be advised that all the PIX devices are EOL. Here is the EOL notification for your reference:

EOL for PIX515E:
