Site-to-Site VPN with one site behind NAT device

  • 1.  Site-to-Site VPN with one site behind NAT device

    Posted 06-18-2019 06:36

    Hi

     

    I have SRX in the branch, the SRX is behind a NAT device, so the public IP is in the NAT device and the SRX external interface has private IP address.

    We need to setup site to site VPN with a Cisco ASA in HQ.

    I configured the Juniper SRX as below commands but neither phase1 nor phase2 goes up.

     

    set security ike proposal HQ-VPN authentication-method pre-shared-keys
    set security ike proposal HQ-VPN dh-group group2
    set security ike proposal HQ-VPN authentication-algorithm sha1
    set security ike proposal HQ-VPN encryption-algorithm aes-128-cbc
    set security ike proposal HQ-VPN lifetime-seconds 86400
    set security ike policy HQ-VPN mode main
    set security ike policy HQ-VPN proposals HQ-VPN
    set security ike policy HQ-VPN pre-shared-key ascii-text "$9$dDVgaJZD.PQHqT369OBvWLN-bwYgGDkqm0BREyr24o"
    set security ike gateway HQ-VPN ike-policy HQ-VPN
    set security ike gateway HQ-VPN address "Peer public IP"
    set security ike gateway HQ-VPN local-identity inet "NAT device Public IP"
    set security ike gateway HQ-VPN external-interface ge-0/0/0.0

    set security ipsec proposal HQ-VPN protocol esp
    set security ipsec proposal HQ-VPN authentication-algorithm hmac-sha1-96
    set security ipsec proposal HQ-VPN encryption-algorithm aes-128-cbc
    set security ipsec proposal HQ-VPN lifetime-seconds 28800
    set security ipsec policy HQ-VPN proposals HQ-VPN
    set security ipsec vpn HQ-VPN ike gateway HQ-VPN
    set security ipsec vpn HQ-VPN ike proxy-identity local x.x.x.x
    set security ipsec vpn HQ-VPN ike proxy-identity remote y.y.y.y
    set security ipsec vpn HQ-VPN ike ipsec-policy HQ-VPN
    set security ipsec vpn HQ-VPN establish-tunnels immediately

    set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy Branch-To-HQ match source-address x.x.x.x
    set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy Branch-To-HQ match destination-address y.y.y.y
    set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy Branch-To-HQ match application any
    set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy Branch-To-HQ then permit tunnel ipsec-vpn HQ-VPN

    set security policies from-zone untrustt to-zone trust policy HQ-To-Branch match source-address y.y.y.y
    set security policies from-zone untrustt to-zone trust policy HQ-To-Branch match destination-address x.x.x.x
    set security policies from-zone untrustt to-zone trust policy HQ-To-Branch match application any
    set security policies from-zone untrustt to-zone trust policy HQ-To-Branch then permit tunnel ipsec-vpn HQ-VPN

    set security zones security-zone untrust host-inbound-traffic system-services ike
    set security zones security-zone untrust interfaces ge-0/0/0.0

    Hi Mahmoud,

     

    This KB describes how to configure site-to-site VPNs between SRX and Cisco ASA in different scenarios: https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB28861&actp=METADATA

    In addition to the KB article, review this thread too for reference with respect to the NAT device: https://forums.juniper.net/t5/SRX-Services-Gateway/Vpn-created-behind-NAT-device/m-p/290866#M40688

    Could you confirm that this phase 2 lifetime is correct per the ASA configuration.  My recollection is that the default on the ASA is 3600

     

    ipsec proposal HQ-VPN lifetime-seconds 28800

     

    Since there is NAT involved make sure NAT-T is enabled on the Cisco side.

     

    Since phase 1 is not coming up we need to see the logs for this.

    show log kmd-logs

     

    Post the ike log message you get for the failed phase 1.

     

    Typical problems are:

     

    Mismatch on preshared key

    MIsmatch on the ike policy specifics

    local id on SRX does not match remote id on cisco 

    remote id on SRX does not match local id on cisco

    Hi

     

    the lifetime and the NAT-T is already enabled and matched "as this is not a new VPN setup, the VPN was working over the same connection using another vendor device".

     

    Since the SRX is behind a NAT device and the NAT device has the VPN public IP address, then I used the "Local Identity" command in the IKE settings to reference the public IP address. 

    But here, do I have to configure a "Remote Identity" in the Cisco side, or change any other settings?

    I am not sure as the same setup work when we connect the old device back in-place of the SRX...

    Hello mahmoud,

     

    Because the device is behind NAT then you will need NAT-T enabled on both devices and local-identity configured on your SRX; I can see you have both. I believe that by default the ASA shold be using the following IKE-IDs:

     

    local-identity: ASA's public IP

    remote-identity: NAT device's public IP

     
    The above will match with the SRX configuration we have in place as of now (note it has to match in the reverse order).
     
    Regarding the proxy-IDs, I can see you have configured:
     
    set security ipsec vpn HQ-VPN ike proxy-identity local x.x.x.x
    set security ipsec vpn HQ-VPN ike proxy-identity remote y.y.y.y
     
    This is not needed (and I believe is not doing anything) as the SRX will populate the proxy-IDs values from the matching criteria of the secuirty-policies:
     
    set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy Branch-To-HQ match source-address x.x.x.x
    set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy Branch-To-HQ match destination-address y.y.y.y
    set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy Branch-To-HQ match application any
    set security policies from-zone trust to-zone untrust policy Branch-To-HQ then permit tunnel ipsec-vpn HQ-VPN
    
    set security policies from-zone untrustt to-zone trust policy HQ-To-Branch match source-address y.y.y.y
    set security policies from-zone untrustt to-zone trust policy HQ-To-Branch match destination-address x.x.x.x
    set security policies from-zone untrustt to-zone trust policy HQ-To-Branch match application any
    set security policies from-zone untrustt to-zone trust policy HQ-To-Branch then permit tunnel ipsec-vpn HQ-VPN
     
    So you can delete the proxy-IDs statements.
     
    If phase 1 is not coming up, we have either a reachability issue or a negotiation problem. Lets find it out:
     
    1. Try the following command to confirm if we have IKE sessions and if we see phase 1 temporally up:
     
          > show security flow sessions protocol udp destination-port 500
          > show security flow sessions protocol udp destination-port 4500
          > show security ike security-associations
     
    2. If we see sessions and packets being sent/received, lets gather IKE traces to investigate further:
     
         # set security ike traceoptions file IKE_TRACE
         # set security ike traceoptions flag all
         # commit
         # run request security ike debug-enable local [External_SRX_IP] remote [ASA_Public_IP] level 15
         # run show security ike debug-status
         # run clear log IKE_TRACE
         # run show log IKE_TRACE
        
    Please upload the IKE_TRACE file output so we can check for any errors and help you.
     
    Please mark my answer as the solution if it applies.

    When you configure local and remote identity on the SRX the partner device must have the matching configuration in place for the policies to fully match and phase one come up.

    Hi,

     

    I was working on a similar setup.

     

    > Please use aggressive mode on both sides

    > Rest I believe is fine

    Aggressive mode is only necessary when on side has a dynamic ip address.  If the nat is from a static address down to the internal one aggressive mode is not necessary only the engagement of nat-t.

    Hello,

     

    Apologies. Yes, main mode would also work. Here is a config from the lab and is validated to be working fine.
