Remote Access VPN (IPsec) - IOS - radius (ISE)

Today I change the configuration from my previous post, and instead of ACS I will add ISE (version 1.1).

First modification:
 
!
radius-server host 192.168.202.152 key cisco123
!

Next I add a new network device on ISE:

ra-ipsec4-1.jpg 

ra-ipsec4-2.jpg

In next step I add a new user group and next a new user: “ezvpn”

ra-ipsec4-3.jpg 

ra-ipsec4-4.jpg

And now the new user:

ra-ipsec4-5.jpg

Now it’s time to add a new authorization profile with radius attributes:

And then a new Authorization Profile:

When I try to connect I see following log messages:

On ISE I see:

The problem is related with one IOS limitation which allows on one fixed password “cisco” for user = isakmp client group. You can change a password policy but minimum number of characters is 6:

I can’t find any solution but if you know how to omit the limitation, let me know and I will update my post.

What should you know about HA 'override enabled' setting on Fortigate?

High availability is mandatory in most of today's network designs. Only very small companies or branches can run their business without redundancy. When you have Fortigate firewall in your network you have many options to increase network availability. You can use Fortigate Clustering Protocol ( FGCP ) or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol ( VRRP ). FGCP has two modes: 'override' disabled (default) and 'override' enabled . I'm not going to explain how to set up HA as you can find many resources on Fortinet websites: https://cookbook.fortinet.com/high-availability-two-fortigates-56/ https://cookbook.fortinet.com/high-availability-with-fgcp-56/ Let's recap what is the main difference between them. The default HA setting is 'override' disabled and this is an order of selection an active unit: 1) number of monitored interfaces - when both units have the same number of working (up) interfaces check next parameter 2) HA uptime - an

MAC Authentication Bypass

One of the method to control your network is using MAB feature. It is helpful in case you have devices without dot1x functionality. Today I will try to implement basic configuration and analyze log messages. There is only one switch SW1 and one device attached to port Fa1/0/2.   ! aaa new - model aaa authentication dot1x default group radius ! ! int Fas1 / 0 / 2 authentication host - mode single - host authentication port - control auto mab ! I haven’t configured ACS yet but let’s see what error message I receive:   SW1 ( config - if ) # mab - ev ( Fa1 / 0 / 2 ): Received MAB context create from AuthMgr mab - ev ( Fa1 / 0 / 2 ): Created MAB client context 0x1100000F mab : initial state mab_initialize has enter mab - ev ( Fa1 / 0 / 2 ): Sending create new context event to EAP from MAB for 0x1100000F ( 0000.0000 . 0000 ) mab - sm ( Fa1 / 0 / 2 ): Received event 'MAB_START' on handle 0x1100000F mab : during state mab_initia

Inpection of asymmetric sessions on FortiGate

There is one feature available on FortiGate, and I think you should know it, as it modifies a bit what we know about stateful firewalls. In past every packet was treated individually and you had to create policies in both directions. With stateful firewalls we can track connections, and by checking couple of attributes, we can treat them as part of the same session. For example when you initiate connection from a host1 to host2, the returning connection from host2 to host1 will be treated as part of the same connection (session). They have to have the same source/destination and destination/source IPs, port numbers and interfaces.There is an exception from this rule and FortiGate in some specific cases can accept connections on port which was not used in the initial connection. Let me explain how it works on the below example:      The host1 has a default gateway on R1 (10.0.1.2), but you may notice that it is not the optimal path to host2 subnet. When we analyze the packet flo
