Internet Protocol Security Vpn (IPSEC VPN)

 


IPSEC VPN CONFIGURATION DETAILS VARY DEPENDING ON THE ROUTER OR DEVICE YOU ARE USING. HOWEVER, THE GENERAL STEPS INVOLVED IN CONFIGURING AN IPSEC VPN ARE AS FOLLOWS:

CREATE AN IPSEC POLICY.

THIS POLICY DEFINES THE ENCRYPTION AND AUTHENTICATION ALGORITHMS THAT WILL BE USED TO PROTECT THE TRAFFIC THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE VPN TUNNEL.

CREATE AN IPSEC TRANSFORM SET.

THIS TRANSFORM SET SPECIFIES THE SPECIFIC ENCRYPTION AND AUTHENTICATION ALGORITHMS THAT WILL BE USED FOR A PARTICULAR TRAFFIC FLOW.

CREATE A CRYPTO MAP.

THIS CRYPTO MAP ASSOCIATES AN IPSEC POLICY AND TRANSFORM SET WITH A SPECIFIC INTERFACE.

APPLY THE CRYPTO MAP TO THE INTERFACE.

THIS WILL ENABLE IPSEC ON THE INTERFACE AND ALLOW TRAFFIC TO FLOW THROUGH THE VPN TUNNEL.

HERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT EACH OF THESE STEPS:

IPSEC POLICY:

THE IPSEC POLICY DEFINES THE ENCRYPTION AND AUTHENTICATION ALGORITHMS THAT WILL BE USED TO PROTECT THE TRAFFIC THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE VPN TUNNEL. THE FOLLOWING ARE

SOME OF THE MOST COMMON ENCRYPTION ALGORITHMS USED IN IPSEC:

3DES: TRIPLE DATA ENCRYPTION STANDARD.

 THIS IS A SYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM THAT USES THREE KEYS TO ENCRYPT DATA.

AES: ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD.

THIS IS A SYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM THAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE MORE SECURE THAN 3DES.

ESP: ENCAPSULATING SECURITY PAYLOAD.

THIS IS A PROTOCOL THAT IS USED TO ENCRYPT IP PACKETS.

AH: AUTHENTICATION HEADER.

THIS IS A PROTOCOL THAT IS USED TO AUTHENTICATE IP PACKETS.

IPSEC TRANSFORM SET: 

THE IPSEC TRANSFORM SET SPECIFIES THE SPECIFIC ENCRYPTION AND AUTHENTICATION ALGORITHMS THAT WILL BE USED FOR A PARTICULAR TRAFFIC FLOW.

THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON TRANSFORM SETS USED IN IPSEC:

ESP-3DES-SHA:

 THIS TRANSFORM SET USES 3DES FOR ENCRYPTION AND SHA FOR AUTHENTICATION.

ESP-AES-SHA:

THIS TRANSFORM SET USES AES FOR ENCRYPTION AND SHA FOR AUTHENTICATION.

ESP-AES-GCM:

THIS TRANSFORM SET USES AES FOR ENCRYPTION AND GCM FOR AUTHENTICATION.

CRYPTO MAP:

 THE CRYPTO MAP ASSOCIATES AN IPSEC POLICY AND TRANSFORM SET WITH A SPECIFIC INTERFACE. THIS ALLOWS TRAFFIC TO FLOW THROUGH THE VPN TUNNEL ONLY IF IT MATCHES THE POLICY AND TRANSFORM SET THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERFACE.

APPLYING THE CRYPTO MAP TO THE INTERFACE:

THIS WILL ENABLE IPSEC ON THE INTERFACE AND ALLOW TRAFFIC TO FLOW THROUGH THE VPN TUNNEL.

ONCE YOU HAVE CONFIGURED IPSEC ON YOUR ROUTER OR DEVICE, YOU SHOULD TEST THE CONFIGURATION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WORKING PROPERLY. YOU CAN DO THIS BY SENDING TRAFFIC BETWEEN TWO DEVICES THAT ARE CONNECTED TO THE VPN TUNNEL.

TCP/IP MODEL

  HISTORY OF TCP/IP MODEL THE TCP/IP MODEL WAS DEVELOPED BY VINT CERF AND BOB KAHN IN THE 1970S. THEY WERE BOTH WORKING AT THE DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY (DARPA) AT THE TIME. Vint Cerf And Bob Kahn CERF AND KAHN WERE TASKED WITH DEVELOPING A NEW NETWORK PROTOCOL THAT WOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT THAN THE EXISTING PROTOCOLS. THEY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF USING A LAYERED APPROACH, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EACH LAYER TO FOCUS ON A SPECIFIC TASK. THIS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL, WHICH IS STILL THE BASIS FOR HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET TODAY. CERF AND KAHN ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "FATHERS OF THE INTERNET" FOR THEIR WORK ON THE TCP/IP MODEL. THEY WERE INDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL INVENTORS HALL OF FAME IN 2004 FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET. HERE ARE SOME OTHER NOTABLE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL: JON POSTEL: POSTEL WAS THE FIRST CHAIRMAN OF THE INTERNET ENGINEERI...

Internet Protocol (IP) Address

  IP ADDRESS IT IS A UNIQUE ADDRESS THAT WE CAN ASSIGN TO DEVICE .SO THAT DEVICECAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. WE CANNAOT ASSIGN SAME IP ADDRESS IN ANY TWO DEVICES IN OUR NETWORK. IF WE WILL DO THIS THEN IT WILL BE  CAUSE A CONFLICT ERROR. TWO VERSION OF IP ADDRESS: 1: IPV4 ; 2: IPV6 ; IPV4 32 BITS AND IPV6 128 BITS. AN IP ADDRESS, OR INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS, IS A SERIES OF NUMBERS THAT IDENTIFIES ANY DEVICE ON A NETWORK.  COMPUTERS USE IP ADDRESSES TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER BOTH OVER THE INTERNET AS WELL AS ON OTHER NETWORKS. TO FIND THE IP ADDRESS CLASS WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE FIRST DIGIT OF THE IP ADDRESS. AND BY LOOKING AT THE FIRST DIGIT, WE CAN GUESS THE SUBNET MASK TO WHICH CLASS IT BELONGS. CLASS A IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.0.0.0 CLASS B IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK  255.255.0.0  CLASS C IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0 IANA TABLE IP RANGES                 IANA   ( Internet Assigned Numbers Au...
