Implementing AnyConnect IKEv2 VPNs on ASA and Routers

1. AnyConnect Overview

Cisco AnyConnect is a VPN client software used to connect securely to a corporate network.
It supports multiple VPN protocols, including IKEv2, which is a highly secure and efficient
VPN protocol for remote access.

2. Prerequisites

• ASA: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance with AnyConnect Premium license.


• Router: Cisco router with IKEv2 support and any necessary VPN licenses.
• AnyConnect Client: Installed on the remote user's device.

3. Configure IKEv2 VPN on ASA for AnyConnect

1. Enable IKEv2 on ASA

bash
Copy code
crypto ikev2 enable outside

2. Configure a Trustpoint for Certificate Authentication

bash
Copy code
crypto trustpoint vpn-cert
enrollment self
subject-name CN=asa.example.com
revocation-check none
rsakeypair vpn-key
crypto ca trustpoint vpn-cert

3. Create a VPN Policy


o Define the IKEv2 policy, such as encryption, integrity, and DH group.

bash
Copy code
crypto ikev2 policy 10
encryption aes-256
integrity sha256
group 14
prf sha256
lifetime 86400

4. Create a Tunnel Group for AnyConnect


o Specify the authentication method and connection settings.

bash
Copy code
tunnel-group AnyConnect type remote-access
tunnel-group AnyConnect general-attributes
default-group-policy DfltGrpPolicy
tunnel-group AnyConnect ipsec-attributes
ikev2 remote-access enable

5. Enable AnyConnect Client and Licensing


o Activate AnyConnect and assign the necessary licenses.

bash
Copy code
webvpn
anyconnect image disk0:/anyconnect-win-4.x.x.pkg
anyconnect enable

6. Configure the VPN Group Policy


o Configure group policies to define which resources are accessible.

bash
Copy code
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy internal
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
vpn-tunnel-protocol ikev2

7. Configure NAT Exemption for VPN Traffic

bash
Copy code
object network VPN-NAT-EXEMPT
subnet 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
nat (inside,outside) source static any any destination static any any
no-proxy-arp route-lookup

8. Apply Access Control and VPN Rules


o Define access control rules to secure the VPN connection.

bash
Copy code
access-list outside_access_in extended permit ip any 10.1.1.0
255.255.255.0

9. Apply VPN Policies to the Interface


o Apply the VPN settings to the ASA's external interface.

bash
Copy code
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address 203.0.113.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown

4. Configure IKEv2 VPN on Router for AnyConnect

1. Enable IKEv2 on the Router

bash
Copy code
crypto ikev2 enable GigabitEthernet0/1
2. Configure IKEv2 Policy
o Define encryption and integrity methods.

bash
Copy code
crypto ikev2 policy 10
encryption aes-256
integrity sha256
group 14
prf sha256
lifetime 86400

3. Create a VPN Tunnel Interface

bash
Copy code
interface Tunnel0
ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
tunnel source GigabitEthernet0/0
tunnel mode ipsec ipv4

4. Configure IPsec Settings

bash
Copy code
crypto ipsec transform-set VPN-SET esp-aes-256 esp-sha-hmac
crypto map VPN-MAP 10 ipsec-isakmp
set peer 203.0.113.1
set transform-set VPN-SET
match address 101

5. Apply the Crypto Map to the Physical Interface

bash
Copy code
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
crypto map VPN-MAP

6. Configure ACLs for VPN Traffic

bash
Copy code
access-list 101 permit ip 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

5. Testing and Troubleshooting

• Verify VPN Status on ASA:

bash
Copy code
show vpn-sessiondb anyconnect
show crypto ikev2 sa
show crypto ipsec sa

• Verify VPN Status on Router:


bash
Copy code
show crypto ikev2 sa
show crypto ipsec sa

• Troubleshooting Tips:
o Ensure the VPN client is using the correct AnyConnect version.
o Ensure the local firewall allows VPN traffic on the required ports (e.g., UDP
500, 4500).
o Check logs for IKE negotiation issues or IPsec failures.

6. Considerations

• Use certificates for authentication whenever possible to increase security.


• Regularly monitor VPN usage and performance.
• Ensure the ASA or router has sufficient resources to handle the expected number of
concurrent VPN connections.
