ESP Tunnel Mode

Topic 8.2.3: Internet Key Exchange

The IKE Protocol

Phase 1 and 2 Key Negotiation

Phase 2: Negotiating SAs

Section 8.3: Implementing Site-to-Site IPsec VPNs with CLI

Upon completion of this section, you should be able to:

  • Describe IPsec negotiation and the five steps of IPsec configuration.
  • Configure the ISAKMP policy.
  • Configure the IPsec policy.
  • Configure and apply a crypto map.
  • Verify the IPsec VPN.

Topic 8.3.1: Configuring a Site-to-Site IPsec VPN

IPsec Negotiation

IPsec VPN Negotiation: Step 1 – Host A sends interesting traffic to Host B.

IPsec VPN Negotiation: Step 2 – R1 and R2 negotiate an IKE Phase 1 session.

IPsec VPN Negotiation: Step 3 – R1 and R2 negotiate an IKE Phase 2 session.

IPsec VPN Negotiation: Step 4 – Information is exchanged via IPsec tunnel.

IPsec VPN Negotiation: Step 5 – The IPsec tunnel is terminated.
