VMware Edge Gateway VPN to Cisco ASA
KB ID 0001658 Problem I was asked to setup a VPN to help out a colleague this week. When I had a look, one end turned out to be an Edge Gateway, I wasn’t that concerned, I’d done similar things in my prior role, I just didn’t have access to the vCloud or VMware at this datacenter. Depite my best efforts on the ASA, the tunnel refused to come up, it took a little looking ‘under the covers’ to accurately...
Cisco ASA Site To Site VPN IKEv2 “Using CLI”
KB ID 0001429 Problem Note: This is for Cisco ASA 5500, 5500-x, and Cisco Firepower devices running ASA Code. You want a secure IPSEC VPN between two sites using IKEv2. Note: If the device you are connecting to does not support IKEv2 (i.e. it’s not a Cisco ASA, or it’s running code older than 8.4) then you need to go to the older version of this article; Cisco ASA 5500 Site to Site VPN IKEv1 (From CLI) Solution Before you...
Cisco ASA Site to Site IKEv2 VPN Static to Dynamic
KB ID 0001602 Problem Site to Site VPNs are easy enough, define some interesting traffic, tie that to a crypto map, that decides where to send the traffic, create some phase 1 and phase 2 policies, wrap the whole lot up in a tunnel-group, and you’re done! But there needs to be a ‘peer address’ in the crypto map, and if one end of the VPN is on DHCP that address is likely to change, so you cant supply that? The...
Cisco ASA VPN to Cisco Router “MM_WAIT_MSG3”
KB ID 0001531 Problem While migrating a VPN tunnel from an ASA 5520 firewall to a new 5516-X I got this problem. The other end was a Cisco router (2900). As soon as I swapped it over, it was stuck at MM_WAIT_MSG3, and phase 1 would not establish; NUFC-ASA5516x(config-tunnel-ipsec)# show crypto isa IKEv1 SAs: Active SA: 6 Rekey SA: 0 (A tunnel will report 1 Active and 1 Rekey SA during rekey) Total IKE SA: 6 1 IKE Peer: 1.1.1.1 Type :...
Microsoft Azure To Cisco ASA Site to Site VPN
KB ID 000116 Problem The one reason I prefer Cisco over Microsoft is they rarely change things, you learn how to do something and it’s learned. This is the second time have had to write this article purely because the Azure UI has changed! Virtual Network Gateway Options With VPN’s into Azure you connect to a Virtual Network Gateway, of which there are TWO types Policy Based, and Route Based. This article will deal with...
