Cisco VPN :: 2911 Remote Office With Dual ISP And EZVPN
Aug 9, 2011
I am attempting to get a solid setup for a remote office we have going up and I am running into little issues that I cant seem to get around.
Basically, we have a remote office that will have dual ISPs, one hard wired circuit from a local carrier and the other will be a Verizon 4G router that plugs in via Ethernet and hands out DHCP to my Cisco router.The Cisco router is a 2911 with IP SLA configured. I have it setup to ping my DC out one interface and if that fails, it removes the default route and injects a new default route from the other ISP,
The problem I am having is with the VPN. I figured using EZVPN would be the only solution because the Verizon 4G only supports DHCP so I have to be able to connect from a dynamic remote host. The other caveat is that failover needs to be seamless as we have no person onsite that can troubleshoot. Its fine if it takes a few minutes, but the VPN just needs to come back up on its own without any intervention.
I attempted to setup two different EZVPN crypto maps on the router but realized you can only have one inside cryptomap per interface, which would cause a problem with the internal network. I thought I could just create subinterfaces off the router to have two inside interfaces to work with but that wouldnt have supported because they would now be on different subnets.
I decided that adding an ASA5505 behind the router may be the simplest solution. Use the router only for the purpose of handling routing between the two ISPs and performing NAT out the interfaces. Then use the ASA to do EZVPN from. This works well but there are some issues I am trying to work through.
First, when the ISP fails over to the backup, the NAT translations have to timeout before things start working again. For a constant ping, this is fine, I have the timers set down to 15 seconds for NAT timeouts and after 15 seconds the ping picks right back up again. However, this breaks the EZVPN. The ASA keeps trying to bring up the ISAKMP nearly every second, which keeps resetting the countdown on the NAT timeout for the remote EZVPN server. Because of this, the VPN will never come up until I manually clear the NAT translations on the router. So my first question is this; is there a way to adjust the timer that the VPN uses to try to bring the tunnel up? I tried the crypto isakmp keepalive command but that didnt work, it looks like it doesnt work with EZVPN.
The second issue is really with the IP SLA and is only an issue because of the first issue I mentioned. When the router first comes up after a reboot, both the primary and secondary interfaces come up. However, since the primary default route is only injected into the routing table once IP SLA is up and can reach its destination, the secondary route gets injected initially and the VPN comes up over the secondary ISP. In a few seconds, the primary default route is injected, changes the path and because of the NAT translation, breaks the tunnel and never comes up again because of the first issue with the VPN tunnel renewing the NAT translation continuously.
I could easily go out and purchase a $100 Linksys router that will do the failover and clear its NATs and everything, but I need better reliability out of the hardware than that. There has got to be a way to do this on a Cisco device since consumer level equipment can.

We have a VPN using 857 and 877 routers as remote connecting in to a 2800 EZVPN Server.
The VPN is working fine. However, the VPN connections sometimes (after a few hours/days) seem to "freeze". A "show crypt sess" shows the connections as Up/Active, but you can not ping antyhing from remote to server, or visa versa, nor does any traffic flow. I then added a "isakmp keep-alive" on the 2800, which improved the situation a bit, but not as much as I hoped.
On the 877 I then implemented a IP SLA, with Object Tracking and then use a Event Manager to just issue a "clear crypto session" . This solved the problem.
However, what do I do on the 857 ? It does not support Object Tracking or the Event Manager. Is there any other mechanism to monitor and reset these frozen/stale VPN connections automatically ?

I try to configure a simple EzVPN infrastructure:
EzVPN Server (CISCO2811, hostname cme) < -- > EzVPN Remote (ASA5505, hostname ezvpn-asa) < -- > Client
Attached you find both configuration of the EzVPN server and remote. The tunnel is getting up and if I ping from the ASA to the Router, I see the packets getting encrypted:
ezvpn-asa# ping 172.16.100.1
...
ezvpn-asa# show crypto ipsec sa
interface: outside
Crypto map tag: _vpnc_cm, seq num: 10, local addr: 172.16.100.2
[code]....
If I connect a client with IP address 192.168.1.2 to the interface eth0/1 and do a ping to the cme, I don't see any packets getting encrypted. I don't have any idea about VPN, I just need it for a wireless lab environment. What do I have to configure on the ASA, so the inside traffic is encrypted?

configured Ezvpn Server/client with client mode configuration on IOS router with ver advipservicesk9-mz.124-15.T3.bin of ISR 1841 routers. Only my main issue is that once the tunnel is up I cant access the server side local LAN. However I could each site my icmp traffic is encrypt or decrypt but not both at the same time. However I can ping from the server to the client ip address which is assigned by the pool (int loopback10000)
Also once the tunnel is up I could also see there's static route towards the client side via virtual-access interface and also static route on client side. I have already configure SPLIT ACL on server side allowing the required network access.Attached is the configuration of both server and client with all required show output.

We have two different location for two offices
Office 1 =
Office 2
they are connected by Micro-Wave , Radio , and we have two cisco 2911 routers so we like to connect this two offices
Office 1 Microwav-radio ip address == 155.155.155.1
Local Network ===== 10.10.10.x
Office 2 Microwave-radio ip adddress == 155.155.155.2
Local Network 1 = 192.168.1.0
Local Network 2 = 192.168.2.0
i can configure interfaces , but i have little bit confuse for the Routing and the access list , so how office 1 can access the two local networks office 2

We have a cisco 2911 cisco router so i want to use as a load balancer using two different ISP networks, example if the first ISP network gets down i need the second ISP will take over all routing and get for internet access
here is my scenerio..
First ISP = PUblic ip = 155.1555.155.2 gateway = 155.155.155.1
seceond ISP Public = 40.51.16.9 gateway = 40.51.16.1
Inside network = 192.168.1.0. /24

We have a WAP2000 that supports a few wireless users in a shop environment. Users authenticate using RADIUS. Users connect without issue and can browse the Internet.
The main local network uses a Cisco 800 router to connect to the Internet via DSL and there is an IPsec VPN tunnel to our main office.
When a user is connected to the network via a wired connection, all systems work as expected. If they are on wireless, they cannot connect to services at the main office. They must make a PPTP VPN connection for applications to function.
The WAP2000 has the latest firmware 2.0.4.0. It has a static IP on the local subnet.

I have 3 AIR-CAP3502I-E-K9 AP’s on my network now. Its connected directly to a cisco L3 switch now. and through a WAN link it communicates to a cisco 5505 WLC at remote head office (flexconnect).I want to install a low end WLC on my office, so that incase of the WLC fails at head office, still the clients on my end able to connect to the AP .So which of the following models are support for the AIR-CAP3502I-E-K9 APs ? and can that’s WLC talk with the other one at head office(WLC 5505) ?

I have been tasked with setting up a guest wireless network for a remote office. They would prefer that the guest network be on a different VLAN than the trusted network, and they want to use a different outside IP address for the guest network.
I am trying to figure out how to configure the ASA so that it supports two different LANS, each with it's own outside IP address. Is this possible?

I bought 2 RV180 to setup a VPN tunnel between a remote site and central office.The VPN tunnel is established, I can ping from central office to remote site but browsing on that server fails. [code]
Seems the routing is not really working through the VPN Tunnel.

We have an aironet 1130ag in a remote office connected to the data centre over MPLS. The Radius server is based on server 2003.We have hundreds of these points set up exactly the same but this is the only one giving me issues, I even stripped the config and rebuilt it and then swapped with a new access point
The issue is that clients can't authenticate when connecting to the access point but provides nothing in event viewer. Checking the RADIUs server provides nothing either.The access point error logs just state station: authentication failed
On looking deeper into the problem I enabled RADIUS debugging on the access point and got some interesting results, in particular is the line:
no sg in radius-timers: ctx 0x12EF0A4 sg 0x0000.I can't find out what no SG in Radius-timers actually means, but after that line appears I just see more retransmits and no sg fails.
I inspected the packets on the RADIUs server and found lots access requests coming from my access point and lots of access-challenges returning back from my RADIUS server - I'm not sure how often that's supposed to happen or if it's a one time occurance. I did however see directly after the first access-request that the RADIUS server returns with UDP and is fragmented, length is 1514...... could this be the problem? If so why cannot it hanlde fragmented packets?

After trying to configure remote client VPN access to a Cisco 2911 ISR using the CLI I tried to use the Cisco Configuration Professional. However, either way I have the same problem. A client can successfully connect and access servers but just once. When the client disconnects and tries to connect again there is no access to the servers even though the VPN tunnel appears to be up. I've tried multiple versions of the Cisco vpn client SW and all behave the same: 1st connection can access servers, subsequent connections can't. I've also tried a second (different) client after the original connection and still no luck. If I reload the router the client can get the vpn connection and access the servers but if the client disconnects from the vpn and tries again there is no access to the servers.
I've also tried it with and without NAT but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
The config generated using CCP is as follows:
version 15.0
service timestamps debug datetime msec
service timestamps log datetime msec
[Code].....

We have a Cisco secure VPN site to site tunnel between the 2 locations.Which ports are need to open on tunnel so that users can successfully use OCS over the site to site VPN tunnel.All the users are havning the main brach AD account.Using Wireshark captured the packets, found only port TCP 5060, after allowing this port over tunnel I can see the authentication window.The user authentication fails. Already port 3389, 80, 443 are allowed.The main requirement is to only have the Chat, Group Chat and file transfer. Not require AV traffic.OCS is using TCP. no TLS is configured.

We already have IPSEC VPN connectivity established between sites but would like to introduce some resilience/redundancy at a remote site.
Site A has an ASA with one internet circuit.
Site B has a Cisco 2911 with one internet circuit and we have established site-to-site IPSEC VPN connectivity between the 2911 and the ASA.
Prior to getting the new internet circuit, Site B had a Cisco 877 with an ADSL line which are still available but aren’t currently in use.
The internet circuit at Site B has dropped a few times recently so we would like to make use of the ADSL circuit (and potentially the 877 router too) as a backup.
We thought about running HSRP between the 877 and 2911 routers at Site B and, in the event of a failure of the router or internet circuit, traffic would failover to the 877 and ADSL.
However, how would Site A detect the failure? Can we simply rely on Dead Peer Detection and list the public IP address of the internet circuit at Site B first with the public IP address used on the ADSL line second in the list on the ASA? What would happen in a failover scenario and, just as important, when service was restored – I’m not sure DPD would handle that aspect correctly?
I’ve read briefly elsewhere that GRE might be best to use in this scenario – but I can’t use GRE on the ASA. I have an L3 switch behind the ASA which I may be able to make use of? But I don’t want to disrupt the existing IPSEC VPN connectivity already established between the ASA and the 2911. Can I keep IPSEC between the ASA and 2911 but then run GRE between the L3 switch and the 2911? If so, how would this best be achieved? And how could I also introduce the 877 and ADSL line into things to achieve the neccessary redundancy?

I am having cisco 2911-sec-k9 router.
And I got 2 internet connections from isp one is static ip leased line and the other one i dsl dynamic ip one.
What I want is i need to configure internet load balance between these 2 internet and also i need to use static ip for remote access vpna and for my exchange port forwarding.
My dsl line in 100 mps and my leased line 2mb dedicated.
I configured the router as with some example config i got on internet my internet is fine but load balancing not happening and i configured the REMOTE ACCESS VPN . I am able to connect the remote access vpn but no communication through remote access . i cannot reach any device through remote access.
Note: if load balancing is not possible how i can configure for internet traffic use dsl line and for remote access vpn and live exchange port forwarding through leased line.
I am attaching my configuration and also debug crypto isakmp status

I want to separate my house in three zones plus guest W LAN. One for my mother in law living upstairs, One Gega-net for my family and one for my own little company office. Additionally I want W LAN on three of the V LAN's in addition to one guest W LAN.
And I want remote access to my music on the family LAN and my documents on the office LAN.
Can I accomplish this with one (W LAN)router or do I need more equipment?

We have a server which in addition to other services is used to stream live hi-def video from our building during special events.We use a software video/audio production mixer which works very well. But we now would like to make a change in the system.Is it possible/practical to use Remote Desktop via the second - as yet unused - LAN in our server. We really would like to put the operators in a different location where they have both video and in-person view of the event being streamed. But we don't want to use more bandwidth on the LAN...the production mixer handles a *lot* of uncompressed video and tends to be a bandwidth hog.

I want a simple remote client-initiated VPN for employees to access corporate resources from home simultaneously with being able to access the internet. I am using CCP and seem to have several options including Easy VPN server, SSL VPN. I also can choose "Full Tunnel" or not.I have a 2911 router. I have a static range of internet IP addresses. The router is already functioning with inside to outside and outside to inside NAT, etc.

we have two ASA 5510s one in 8.4(4) and one in 8.2(5) in a site-to-site VPN setup. All internal traffic is working smoothly.Site/Subnet A: 192.160.0.0 - local (8.4(4)) Site/Subnet B: 192.260.0.0 - remote (8.2(5)) VPN Users: 192.160.40.0 - assigned by ASA When you VPN into the network, all traffic hits Site A, and everything on subnet A is accessible.
Site B however, is completely inaccessible for VPN users. All machines on subnet B, the firewall itself, etc... is not reachable by ping or otherwise.There are also some weird NAT rules that I am not happy with that were created after I upgraded Site A ASA to 8.4
Site A internal: 192.160.x.x External: 55.55.555.201(main)/202(mail)
Site B (over site-to-site) is 192.260.x.x External: 66.66.666.54(all)
I pretty much just have the basic NAT rules for VPN, Email, Internet and the site-to-site.What do I need to add for the VPN to be able to access the site-to-site network?
Here is my NAT config:
nat (inside,Outside) source static DOMAIN_LOCAL DOMAIN_LOCAL destination static VPN_Network VPN_Network no-proxy-arp route-lookup
nat (inside,Outside) source static DOMAIN_LOCAL DOMAIN_LOCAL destination static DOMAIN_REMOTE DOMAIN_REMOTE no-proxy-arp route-lookup
!
object network DMZ_Network
nat (DMZ,Outside) dynamic interface
object network DOMAIN_LOCAL

I have a remote office with a dual WAN router (2911) in front of an ASA (5510). Our main office currently has an ipsec site to site vpn to that remote office ASA. The router has two ISPs. ISP-A is the wan link used for the site to site and has provided us with a /28 public address space which we use on the ASA outside interface for the site to site. Now we are in the process of getting a second ISP which will also provide a /28 or /29 public address space. I would like to use that second ISP for backing up the site to site in case ISP-A link goes down. I think I have the IP SLA config worked out. My question involves NAT. On the router I would like to configure a static nat that only takes place if ISP-A goes down. In other words, if everything is working fine, then the router does not nat the ASA outside address, but if the ISP-A link goes down, then the router will NAT the ASA outside address to one of ISP-B provided public addresses.

Not sure if my subject is a good decription of the problem or not.
I have an ASA 5520 at my home office and a SonicWALL NSA2400 at my remote office. The remote office has dual internet connections and I wanted to create two seperate VPNs between the devices using each internet connection on the SonicWALL.
I know how to configure this on the SonicWALL, the problem is on the ASA 5520
OK Basic network config
Main Office
ASA Public IP 1.1.1.1
ASA Internal network 192.168.1.0 (VPN source)
Remote office
Public IP 1 2.2.2.2
Public IP 2 3.3.3.3
Iternal network 192.168.2.0 (VPN destination on ASA)
If I have a VPN from the main ASA to either one of the SonicWALL's public IPs everything works fine
If I create 2 VPN tounels from the main ASA, 1 to each public IP on the SonicWALL, the VPN shows as up but no traffic flows.

I have two Cisco routers - 2911 in HQ and RV180 in branch office. Because in HQ LAN network I have some development servers, to which guys from branch office need to have acces, I decided to setup VPN site-to-site between HQ and branch office. Everything went quite smoothly, on both devices I see, that ipsec connection is established. Unfortunately I am not able to ping resources from one network to other one and vice versa. Below is the configuration of 2911 router (I skipped som unimportant (imho) configuration directives) :

I'm trying to configure a router 7606S with SPA-IPSEC-2G for EzVPN.I was reading some examples in SPa and 7606 documentation but with the current configuration in our router I don't know how to do it.
The router has the SPA installed in slot 3, interfaces G3/0/0 and G3/0/1. The router has the interface G2/0/0 connected to our provider, and we have the interfaces connected directly to network; ie: not vlans, no trunks, ports configured as IP ports conected directly to network.Where can I find an EzVPN example configuration ?
