Cisco :: Deleting Whole Crypto ISAKMP Setup / Policy?

Sep 27, 2012

Cisco IOS Security Command Reference: Commands A to C, Cisco IOS XE Release 3SE (Catalyst 3850 Switches) 2 crypto key generate rsa. Crypto key generate rsa. Cisco IOS Security Command Reference: Commands A to C, Cisco IOS XE Release 3SE (Catalyst 3850 Switches) 8 crypto key generate rsa crypto key generate rsa. May 20, 2014 Author, teacher, and talk show host Robert McMillen shows you how to use the Cisco ASA version 9 generate RSA keys command.

Just looking at a new clients setup and they have a ISAKMP vpn to the old security company I am trying to remove..I am fairly new to cisco, I actually know how to setup the ISAKMP policies, acl's etc but never had to completely remove one before All I can find is Clear Commands which seem to just flush the config not actually delete any of the policy etc..Its not that urgent as all passwords are changed on the domain and the cisco, the usernames have been deleted as well.

Cisco Switching/Routing :: Cat6500 - Crypto Key Generate RSA Command Missing

Feb 10, 2013

I recently rebuilt the configuration of our Cat6500 multilayer device for use as a user stack. The device is funtioning as it should be, but I am unable to set SSH using the 'crypto key generate rsa' command. The crytop command isn't avaiable at all, which suggests a firmware issue.
I have configured a hostname and Ip domain-name and the image is the only one available.

Cisco VPN :: 881 ISR Crypto Isakmp Not Available

Jun 26, 2011

I have to connect one of our it labors with some ec2 instances in amazon vpc. I downloaded a configuration file from amazon which starts with the command
crypto isakmp policy 200
My router tells me that he does not know crypto isakmp.
I searched on the internet and found that i have to install a specific license, but unfortunately i cannot find which license i have to install.
The show license command show following licenses

Cisco VPN :: ASA 5505 With 8.4 Image - ISAKMP Policy

Jul 26, 2011

I upgraded my Cisco asa from 7.2 to 8.4 system image. Now the old style syntax isakmp policy is not working anymore and I am not able to write a isakmp policy to being used for remote access VPN.
on many examples on Cisco site I have seen that it is always used Cisco any connect client installed on ASA. this means that the old configuration compatible with Cisco vpn client IPSEC is no more usable ? or what kind of syntax I have to use to configure remote access VPN ? for example these commands are not working anymore.

Cisco VPN :: Remove Default Isakmp Policy On Router (3845)?

Apr 27, 2011

My company recently failed a PCI scan because our router was returning 56bit des encryption for isakmp negotiation on an existing default isakmp policy. How do I remove this default isakmp policy. I am not running 12.4(15)T1 so the no crypto isakmp policy default does not work. Is there any way other than upgrading the IOS?
Is there any way to configure a maximum number of isakmp policies that an authenticating router will check? I have 2 configured higher priority ISAKMP policies. Maybe if there is a command to limit the number of isakmp policies the router checks, that would eliminate this default policy being matched?

Cisco WAN :: 1941 / Cannot Apply Service Policy On Multiple Serial Ports

Jul 18, 2011

I've run a across a strange issue that I've not encountered before and after the things I've tried am beginning to think it's a limitation of the router itself. What I have are 3 Cisco 1941 routers that are all endpoints for a customer's MPLS network. STL is the headquarters and both remote offices have a link back this router. Each of the remote locations only have 1 serial interface. It is a flat network with few routes and a small shoretel voip system running across it. Each router is running C1900 Software (C1900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2).
QoS is configured as follows on each router:
class-map match-any AutoQoS-VoIP-Remark
match ip dscp ef
match ip dscp cs3
match ip dscp af31
class-map match-any AutoQoS-VoIP-Control-UnTrust
match access-group name AutoQoS-VoIP-Control
class-map match-any AutoQoS-VoIP-RTP-UnTrust
[code]..
If I try to apply the policy map to serial0/0/0, I get the following error:
% policy map utoQos-Policy-Untrust not configured
I've tried to create a different policy map with the same settings and get the same error. We thought that when it was first set up, each interface belonged to the same network, so we separated things out (hence the .252 mask). I'm not sure what else to try and I'm hoping its something painfully simple that I'm missing.

Cisco WAN :: Getting 1941 Tunnel Bandwidth Command?

Cisco WAN :: MLS QoS Map Command Missing On 2801

Oct 31, 2012

I am trying to run the following commands on a 2801 router, but the commands are missing:
mls qos
mls qos map cos-dscp 0 8 16 40 32 46 48 56
The only QoS command i have in global config is (no MLS qos) :

shape-timer Set the HQF shape timer interval
The router is running IOS:
System image file is 'flash:c2801-ipbasek9-mz.151-4.M5.bin'
Am i just running the incorrect IOS or am i missing somehting, i need to change the QoS Map for my Nortel VoIP. The VoIP phones connect to a 3750 PoE which used to conenct to a 2651XM to route VoIP and data traffic over the same copper pairs (WAN link to hub site) hence the need for a Service policy but being Nortel phones, require changing the cos-dscp map. the 2801 is going to replace the 2651XM using a new HWIC.

Cisco :: 3560 - Missing IPv6 Tunnel Command?

Sep 17, 2011

I've finally got my 3560 switch IPv6 capable (IP Services IOS), but I've stumbled upon something strange: I can configure a tunnel interface, but I can't put the tunnel in ipv6ip mode. The command is missing. I can choose GRE, IP in IP, and a bunch of other things, but no ipv6ip. I'm a bit desperate here and probably I am going to have to live with it, but just in case? I need the IPv6 tunnel for an uplink to a tunnel broker which only supports this type of tunnel, and I'm surprised this is missing.

Cisco Routers :: RVS4000 - ISAKMP Nat

Sep 13, 2011

I'm currently dealing with a weird problem on a Cisco RVS4000. I'm trying to connect to a IPSEC VPN Gateway (NETASQ) located on the LAN side of the RVS4000. I'm using Green bow vpn client on the WAN side of the RVS4000. Basically I'm trying to get through the RVS.My VPN config is OK because i tested it on the LAN side of the RVS.
The RVS is configured like this: NO VPN configured.
Block WAN Request :OFF
FIREWALL,IPS,DDOS are OFF
NAT forwarding on for UDP 500 and 4500 directed from the wan to the ip of the VPN gateway. Seems right because iv managed to do this with other routers (different brands) on another site.I've wire sharked my vpn client and i keep getting ICMP destination unreachable (PORT UNREACHABLE) after my ISAKMP launching packet.Can the RVS nat these ports ?

Contents

Introduction

Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol which provides a secure remote access connection to network devices. Communication between the client and server is encrypted in both SSH version 1 and SSH version 2. Implement SSH version 2 when possible because it uses a more enhanced security encryption algorithm.

This document discusses how to configure and debug SSH on Cisco routers or switches that run a version of Cisco IOS® Software that supports SSH. This document contains more information on specific versions and software images.

Prerequisites

Requirements

The Cisco IOS image used must be a k9(crypto) image in order to support SSH. For example c3750e-universalk9-tar.122-35.SE5.tar is a k9 (crypto) image.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on Cisco IOS 3600 Software (C3640-IK9S-M), Release 12.2(2)T1.

SSH was introduced into these Cisco IOS platforms and images:

  • SSH Version 1.0 (SSH v1) server was introduced in some Cisco IOS platforms and images that start in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.0.5.S.

  • SSH client was introduced in some Cisco IOS platforms and images starting in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1.3.T.

  • SSH terminal-line access (also known as reverse-Telnet) was introduced in some Cisco IOS platforms and images starting in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2.2.T.

  • SSH Version 2.0 (SSH v2) support was introduced in some Cisco IOS platforms and images starting in Cisco IOS Software Release 12.1(19)E.

  • Refer to How to Configure SSH on Catalyst Switches Running CatOS for more information on SSH support in the switches.

Refer to the Software Advisor (registered customers only) for a complete list of feature sets supported in different Cisco IOS Software releases and on different platforms.

The information presented in this document was created from devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If you are in a live network, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command before you use it.

Conventions

Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

SSH v1 vs. SSH v2

Use the Cisco Software Advisor (registered customers only) in order to help you find the version of code with appropriate support for either SSH v1 or SSH v2.

Generate

Test Authentication

Authentication Test without SSH

First test the authentication without SSH to make sure that authentication works with the router Carter before you add SSH. Authentication can be with a local username and password or with an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server that runs TACACS+ or RADIUS. (Authentication through the line password is not possible with SSH.) This example shows local authentication, which lets you Telnet into the router with username 'cisco' and password 'cisco.'

Authentication Test with SSH

In order to test authentication with SSH, you have to add to the previous statements in order to enable SSH on Carter and test SSH from the PC and UNIX stations.

At this point, the show crypto key mypubkey rsa command must show the generated key. After you add the SSH configuration, test your ability to access the router from the PC and UNIX station. If this does not work, see the debug section of this document.

Optional Configuration Settings

Prevent Non-SSH Connections

If you want to prevent non-SSH connections, add the transport input ssh command under the lines to limit the router to SSH connections only. Straight (non-SSH) Telnets are refused.

Test to make sure that non-SSH users cannot Telnet to the router Carter.

Set Up an IOS Router or Switch as SSH Client

There are four steps required to enable SSH support on a Cisco IOS router:

  1. Configure the hostname command.

  2. Configure the DNS domain.

  3. Generate the SSH key to be used.

  4. Enable SSH transport support for the virtual type terminal (vtys).

If you want to have one device act as an SSH client to the other, you can add SSH to a second device called Reed. These devices are then in a client-server arrangement, where Carter acts as the server, and Reed acts as the client. The Cisco IOS SSH client configuration on Reed is the same as required for the SSH server configuration on Carter.

Issue this command to SSH from the Cisco IOS SSH client (Reed) to the Cisco IOS SSH server (Carter) in order to test this:

  • SSH v1:

  • SSH v2:

Setup an IOS Router as an SSH server that performs RSA based User Authentication

Complete these steps in order to configure the SSH server to perform RSA based authentication.

  1. Specify the Host name.

  2. Define a default domain name.

  3. Generate RSA key pairs.

  4. Configure SSH-RSA keys for user and server authentication.

  5. Configure the SSH username.

  6. Specify the RSA public key of the remote peer.

  7. Specify the SSH key type and version. (optional)

  8. Exit the current mode and return to privileged EXEC mode.

    Note: Refer to Secure Shell Version 2 Support for more information.

Add SSH Terminal-Line Access

If you need outbound SSH terminal-line authentication, you can configure and test SSH for outbound reverse Telnets through Carter, which acts as a comm server to Philly.

If Philly is attached to Carter's port 2, then you can configure SSH to Philly through Carter from Reed with the help of this command:

  • SSH v1:

AutoCAD 2009 Crack is a computer-aided drafting (CAD) Program which is generated by Autodesk. It lets drafters, architects, engineers, and other professionals to create 2 & 3D patterns of mesh and solid surfaces.

  • SSH v2:

You can use this command from Solaris:

Restrict SSH access to a subnet

You need to limit SSH connectivity to a specific subnetwork where all other SSH attempts from IPs outside the subnetwork should be dropped.

You can use these steps to accomplish the same:

  1. Define an access-list that permits the traffic from that specific subnetwork.

  2. Restrict access to the VTY line interface with an access-class.

This is an example configuration. In this example only SSH access to the 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 subnet is permitted, any other is denied access.

Note: The same procedure to lock down the SSH access is also applicable on switch platforms.

Configure the SSH Version

Configure SSH v1:

Configure SSH v2:

Configure SSH v1 and v2:

Note: You receive this error message when you use SSHv1:

Note: Cisco bug ID CSCsu51740 (registered customers only) is filed for this issue. Workaround is to configure SSHv2.

Variations on banner Command Output

The banner command output varies between the Telnet and different versions of SSH connections. This table illustrates how different banner command options work with various types of connections.

Banner Command Option Telnet SSH v1 only SSH v1 and v2 SSH v2 only
banner login Displayed before logging into the device. Not displayed. Displayed before logging into the device. Displayed before logging into the device.
banner motd Displayed before logging into the device. Displayed after logging into the device. Displayed after logging into the device. Displayed after logging into the device.
banner exec Displayed after logging into the device. Displayed after logging into the device. Displayed after logging into the device. Displayed after logging into the device.

Unable to Display the Login Banner

SSH version 2 supports the login banner. The login banner is displayed if the SSH client sends the username when it initiates the SSH session with the Cisco router. For example, when the Secure Shell ssh client is used, the login banner is displayed. When the PuTTY ssh client is used, the login banner is not displayed. This is because Secure Shell sends the username by default and PuTTY does not send the username by default.

The Secure Shell client needs the username to initiate the connection to the SSH enabled device. The Connect button is not enabled if you do not enter the host name and username. This screenshot shows that the login banner is displayed when Secure Shell connects to the router. Then, the login banner password prompt displays.

The PuTTY client does not require the username to initiate the SSH connection to the router. This screenshot shows that the PuTTY client connects to the router and prompts for the username and password. It does not display the login banner.

This screen shot shows that the login banner is displayed when PuTTY is configured to send the username to the router.

debug and show Commands

Before you issue the debug commands described and illustrated here, refer to Important Information on Debug Commands. Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only) , which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.

  • debug ip ssh—Displays debug messages for SSH.

  • show ssh—Displays the status of SSH server connections.

  • show ip ssh—Displays the version and configuration data for SSH.

If you receive this error message, it may be caused due to any change in the domain name or host name. In order to resolve this, try these workarounds.

  • Zeroize the RSA keys and re-generate the keys.

  • If the previous workaround does not work, try these steps:

    1. Zeroize all RSA keys.

    2. Reload the device.

    3. Create new labeled keys for SSH.

Cisco bug ID CSCsa83601 (registered customers only) has been filed to address this behaviour.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If your SSH configuration commands are rejected as illegal commands, you have not successfully generated a RSA key pair for your router. Make sure you have specified a host name and domain. Then use the crypto key generate rsa command to generate an RSA key pair and enable the SSH server.

  • When you configure the RSA key pair, you might encounter these error messages:

    1. No hostname specified

      You must configure a host name for the router using the hostname global configuration command.

    2. No domain specified

      You must configure a host domain for the router using the ip domain-name global configuration command.

  • The number of allowable SSH connections is limited to the maximum number of vtys configured for the router. Each SSH connection uses a vty resource.

  • SSH uses either local security or the security protocol that is configured through AAA on your router for user authentication. When you configure AAA, you must ensure that the console is not running under AAA by applying a keyword in the global configuration mode to disable AAA on the console.

  • No SSH server connections running.

    This output suggests that the SSH server is disabled or not enabled properly. If you have already configured SSH, it is recommended that you reconfigure the SSH server in the device. Complete these steps in order to reconfigure SSH server on the device.

    1. Delete the RSA key pair. After the RSA key pair is deleted, the SSH server is automatically disabled.

      Note: It is important to generate a key-pair with at least 768 as bit size when you enable SSH v2.

      Caution: This command cannot be undone after you save your configuration, and after RSA keys have been deleted, you cannot use certificates or the CA or participate in certificate exchanges with other IP Security (IPSec) peers unless you reconfigure CA interoperability by regenerating RSA keys, getting the CA's certificate, and requesting your own certificate again.Refer to crypto key zeroize rsa - Cisco IOS Security Command Reference, Release 12.3 for more information on this command.

    2. Reconfigure the hostname and domain name of the device.

    3. Generate an RSA key pair for your router, which automatically enables SSH.

      Refer to crypto key generate rsa - Cisco IOS Security Command Reference, Release 12.3 for more information on the usage of this command.

      Note: You can receive the SSH2 0: Unexpected mesg type received error message due to a packet received that is not understandable by the router. Increase the key length while you generate rsa keys for ssh in order to resolve this issue.

    4. Configure SSH server. In order to enable and configure a Cisco router/switch for SSH server, you can configure SSH parameters. If you do not configure SSH parameters, the default values are used.

      ip ssh {[timeout seconds] [authentication-retries integer]}

      Refer to ip ssh - Cisco IOS Security Command Reference, Release 12.3 for more information on the usage of this command.
