PKI Server and IPv6.

I tried to configure PKI Server based on IPv6 and I found one problem. According to Cisco documentation you should use ‘[]’ for IPv6 addresses:

Router (ca-trustpoint)# enrollment url http://[2001:DB8:1:1::1]:80

When I wanted to do the same I found one bug:

Cisco IOS Software, 2800 Software (C2800NM-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version 15.1(3)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

r2#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
r2(config)#crypto pki trustpoint PKI-TRUSTPOINT
r2(ca-trustpoint)# enrollment url http://[2001:100::1]:80
r2(ca-trustpoint)# revocation-check crl
r2(ca-trustpoint)#end
r2#
May  1 23:18:26.699: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
r2#sh run | b PKI-TRUSTPOINT
crypto pki trustpoint PKI-TRUSTPOINT
 enrollment url http://[2001:100
 revocation-check crl
!
!

As you see the address is truncated just after ‘::’.

I tested also IOS 15.2(3)T3 and it seems to be fixed:

Cisco IOS Software, C2900 Software (C2900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.2(3)T3, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

r1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
r1(config)#crypto pki trustpoint PKI-TRUSTPOINT
r1(ca-trustpoint)#enrollment url http://[2001:100::1]:80
r1(ca-trustpoint)#end
r1#
*May  1 23:20:09.283: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
r1#sh run | b PKI-TRUSTPOINT
crypto pki trustpoint PKI-TRUSTPOINT
 enrollment url http://[2001:100::1]:80
 revocation-check crl
!

Sometimes you can spend a lot of time before you find out why your trustpoint can’t authenticate, so check the configuration first before you start troubleshooting.

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 ...

FortiGate and GRE tunnel

Recently I worked on one project where a client requested to re-route web traffic to the GRE tunnel to perform traffic inspection. I would like to share with you what is required if you configure it on FortiGate. We need a new GRE interface and policy base routing (PBR) to change the route for specific source IPs. Of course you need firewall policies to permit the traffic. Let's start with GRE interface. Unfortunately you can't configure it using the GUI, only CLI is the option: config system gre-tunnel edit "gre1" set interface "port1" set local-gw 55.55.55.55 set remote-gw 44.44.44.44 next end When the end peer is Cisco router, you need to set the IP for the GRE interface: config system interface edit gre1 set ip 192.168.10.10 255.255.255.255 set remote-ip192.168.10.20 end In next step we need to fix routing. We need the alternate path via GRE but to keep the route in the active routing table you need to set the same AD (adminis...

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 ...
