Chapter 6 Configuring a VPN Using Easy VPN and an IPsec Tunnel
Configure the IKE Policy
Note The procedures in this chapter assume that you have already configured basic router features as well as
PPPoE or PPPoA with NAT, DCHP and VLANs. If you have not performed these configurations tasks,
see Chapter 1, “Basic Router Configuration,” Chapter 3, “Configuring PPP over Ethernet with NAT,”
Chapter 4, “Configuring PPP over ATM with NAT,” and Chapter 5, “Configuring a LAN with DHCP and
VLANs” as appropriate for your router.
Note The examples shown in this chapter refer only to the endpoint configuration on the
Cisco Secure Router 520 Series router. Any VPN connection requires both endpoints be configured
properly to function. See the software configuration documentation as needed to configure VPN for
other router models.
Configure the IKE Policy
Perform these steps to configure the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) policy, beginning in global
configuration mode:
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1 crypto isakmp policy priority
Example:
Router(config)# crypto isakmp policy 1
Router(config-isakmp)#
Creates an IKE policy that is used during IKE
negotiation. The priority is a number from 1 to
10000, with 1 being the highest.
Also enters the Internet Security Association Key
and Management Protocol (ISAKMP) policy
configuration mode.
Step 2 encryption {des | 3des | aes | aes 192 | aes 256}
Example:
Router(config-isakmp)# encryption 3des
Router(config-isakmp)#
Specifies the encryption algorithm used in the IKE
policy.
The example specifies 168-bit data encryption
standard (DES).
Step 3 hash {md5 | sha}
Example:
Router(config-isakmp)# hash md5
Router(config-isakmp)#
Specifies the hash algorithm used in the IKE
policy.
The example specifies the Message Digest 5
(MD5) algorithm. The default is Secure Hash
standard (SHA-1).
Step 4 authentication {rsa-sig | rsa-encr | pre-share}
Example:
Router(config-isakmp)# authentication
pre-share
Router(config-isakmp)#
Specifies the authentication method used in the
IKE policy.
The example specifies a pre-shared key.
