Routing Issue - IPSEC Tunnel

paul.tim681
Level 1
Level 1

Hi All

Not sure if this is the right way of configuring IPSEC VPN Tunnel, I feel of having routing issue on IPSEC Tunnel. On stopping Tunnel and Internet interface all is OK.

My scenario is following

Sales Office 1  & Sales Office 2 are in same country and DataCenter in another country

Sales office 1 connect to Sales office 2 over local MPLS cloud provided  by in country telecom provider

Sales office 1 connects to DC over INTERNET via IPSEC VPN tunnel with Router at both ends

Sales office 2 reaches DC passing Sales office 1 MPLS

so far all is ok

As Sales office 2 had another new connection to DC over Internet via IPSEC VPN  - all problem started

Sales Office 2  has one Router where LAN, MPLS, Internet link are terminated.

Before adding new internet connection there was only static routes pointing to next MPLS Hop.

after adding Internet link the config has static routes, dynamic routes and Tunnel config

The traffic you have marked for encryption is traversing an interface that has no crypto-map.

If your connection to DC is via F3/0 and then your next hop for 172.20.20.0, 172.20.90.0 and 192.168.30.0 should be F3/0 or preferably the IP address of the ISP internet router.

I also noticed you have a GRE tunnel. It's your intention to do IPSec over GRE or GRE over IPSec?

Regards,

Edison

Hi Edison

I understood your point on F3/0. Simple IPSEC didnt work so we started testing with Tunnel config and keeping IPSEC.

Can you explain difference between IPSEC over GRE and GRE over IPSEC.

can you suggest possible solution to make this working

cheers

Paul

With IPSec over GRE, you first encrypt the packet with IPSec then forward it out onto the next hop via a GRE tunnel.

With GRE over IPSec, you forward the packet into a GRE tunnel then encrypt it with IPSec as it exit the router.

To correct your issue, you need to have "crypto map WORK" on F3/0.

Regards,

Edison

I already got "crypto map WORK" on F3/0.

Ok, I reviewed your config one more time and here are the things you should modify:

(Note: I'm asssuming subnets 172.20.20.0/24, 172.20.90.0/24 and 192.168.30.0/24 are located in HQ and must be encryped).

Remove these static routes:

ip route 172.20.20.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.16.177

ip route 172.20.20.0 255.255.255.0 Tunnel 1

ip route 192.168.30.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.16.177

ip route 172.20.90.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.16.177

You should only have the default pointing to F3/0

Remove your OSPF for now:

router ospf 1

network 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.255 area 0

network 10.0.0.2 0.0.0.3 area 0

Fix your ACL

ip access-list extended IP123

!

permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 172.90.20.0 0.0.0.255

!

should be:

permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 172.20.90.0 0.0.0.255

!

Hi All

sorry for late reply, the above solution didnt work. We pushed provider to provide BGP config instead of static. We tested BGP config by shutdown the Internet interface FA 3/0 and all is working with no issues. As Interface fa 3/0 is up the connection goes up/down. Another test we did is stop MPLS Interface and noticed all is working fine.

When Both MPLS and Internet Link is up the issue comes up,  Our requirement is preferred MPLS path over IPSEC tunnel and fallback to IPSEC if MPLS is down

Appreicate feedback

cheers

Paul

Hi,

if you're using BGP for primary and static for the secondary then you need to modify the AD of the static route to be greater than BGP( so > 20).

Regards.

Hi Alain

Traffic flow should be MPLS (BGP) for primary path and IPSEC VPN as failover path.

if both interfaces are Up/UP then connection starts flapping, for now I stop MPLS Interface

Plz do look at config and feedback

Hi,

I would get rid of the tunnel interface and change the static route to point to the IP next hop and with an AD of 111.

if it stillisn't working then could you post output of sh ip route when both interfaces are UP/UP.

Regards.

Alain.

Hi Alain

removing the Tunnel config and adding static routes didnt help.

Hi,

show us the new config and the sh ip route output.

Regards.

Hi Paul,

I recommend using IPSEC profiles for tunnel protection and use routing protocol (EIGRP) if possible which will save you a lot of troubles. Let me know if you need sample config.
