Cisco ASA Site to Site

Verification: NAT or transparent mode

Value should return ( Firewall mode: Router )

Always do a backup!!!

ACL / No NAT Rules

Change net-local and and remote for local and remote IP

You do not need to create a object for the LAN if you already have one for another tunnel // You also can not have 2 tunnels with the same remote IP's

object network net-local
subnet 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0
object network net-remote
subnet 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

Create a cryptomap ACL

access-list outside_1_cryptomap extended permit ip object net-local object net-remote

Allow traffic between the two sites to bypass NAT

Always check the name of interface on the port channel, the tunnel will not work if your interface is named inside3

nat (inside,outside) source static net-local net-local destination static net-remote net-remote

IKEV1 - Policy base

Create the tunnel group, and configure the pre-shared key. (In ex; 199.168.1.100 = Remote WAN)

tunnel-group 199.168.1.100 type ipsec-l2l
tunnel-group 199.168.1.100 ipsec-attributes
pre-shared-key INSERT_SECURE_PRE_SHARED_KEY_HERE

Declare the most common transform sets (only do once).

crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set ESP-AES-128-SHA esp-aes esp-sha-hmac
crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set ESP-AES-128-MD5 esp-aes esp-md5-hmac
crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set ESP-AES-192-SHA esp-aes-192 esp-sha-hmac
crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set ESP-AES-192-MD5 esp-aes-192 esp-md5-hmac

crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set ESP-DES-MD5 esp-des esp-md5-hmac
crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA esp-3des esp-sha-hmac

Phase 1 parameters

crypto ikev1 policy 10
authentication pre-share
encryption 3des
hash sha
group 2
lifetime 86400
### Enable ikev1 on the outside interface - THIS JUST NEED TO BE CONFIGURED ONCE YOU SETUP THE FIRST VPN
crypto ikev1 enable outside
crypto ikev1 am-disable #(// Main mode remove this line for aggressive mode)

Enable ikev1 on the outside interface -THIS JUST NEED TO BE DONE ON THE FIRST IKEV1 VPN

crypto ikev1 enable outside

Set main mode // Do not include this line for aggressive mode

This is a global setting, if you add the line bellow in a ASA that contains a tunnel that uses aggressive mode, it will break the other tunnel

crypto ikev1 am-disable

Phase 2 parameters

If you remove the ACL used by a tunnel, it will remove the line crypto map outside_map 1 match address ACL_NAME // Only set PFS if configured on the remote side, else skip the line

crypto map outside_map 1 match address outside_1_cryptomap
crypto map outside_map 1 set peer 199.168.1.100
crypto map outside_map 1 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA
crypto map outside_map 1 set pfs group2
crypto map outside_map 1 set security-association lifetime seconds 3600

Enable the crypto map in the outside interface - THIS JUST NEED TO BE DONE ON THE FIRST IKEV1 VPN

crypto map outside_map interface outside

IKEV2

Create the tunnel group, and configure the pre-shared key. (In ex; 199.168.1.100 = Remote WAN)

group-policy GroupPolicy_IKEv2 internal
group-policy GroupPolicy_IKEv2 attributes
vpn-idle-timeout none
vpn-tunnel-protocol ikev2

Declare the transform sets

crypto ipsec ikev2 ipsec-proposal ESP-AES-256-SHA
 protocol esp encryption aes-256
 protocol esp integrity sha-1

Phase 1 parameters

crypto ikev2 policy 20 
encryption aes-256
integrity sha
group 2
prf sha 
lifetime seconds 86400

Phase 2 parameters

crypto map outside_map 1 match address outside_1_cryptomap
crypto map outside_map 1 set pfs 
crypto map outside_map 1 set peer 199.168.1.100
crypto map outside_map 1 set ikev2 ipsec-proposal ESP-AES-256-SHA
crypto map outside_map 1 set security-association lifetime seconds 3600
crypto ikev2 enable outside

NAT

If the request needs to go over the nated IP, do no use the ACL / Nat rules above, configure something like this:

nat (INSIDE,OUTSIDE) source static PRENAT_IP POSTNAT_IP destination static DESTINATION_IP DESTINATION_IP

access-list outside_1_cryptomap extended permit ip host NATTED_SOURCE_IP host NATTED_DESTINATION_IP
