926 Chapter 8 • Cisco PIX Firewall

The next step is the creation of crypto maps.The following commands specify manually configured IPsec SAs.

PIX1(config)# crypto map pix1map 10 ipsec-manual

PIX2(config)# crypto map pix1map 10 ipsec-manual

The rest of the crypto map configuration is the same as with IKE:

PIX1(config)# crypto map pix1map 10 match address crypto1

PIX1(config)# crypto map pix1map 10 set peer 10.34.45.56

PIX1(config)# crypto map pix1map 10 set transform-set myset

PIX2(config)# crypto map pix2map 10 match address crypto2

PIX2(config)# crypto map pix2map 10 set peer 10.23.34.45

PIX2(config)# crypto map pix2map 10 set transform-set myset

Next, configure the SAs for each transform such as ESP with encryption and ESP with authentication in the transform set myset: we need to specify two outbound SAs and two inbound SAs. (Remember, each SA exists for one transform and in one direction.) We will use the following command:

crypto map <map-name> <seq-num> set session-key inbound outbound esp <spi> cipher

<hex-key-string> [authenticator <hex-key-string>]

The spi parameter is a numerical value of the Security Parameter Index.This number is arbitrary, although a SPI number of an IPsec SA one peer has to match that of the second peer.This holds true with the keys (hex-key-string); the key for an outbound SA on one peer has to be the same as the key for the corresponding inbound SA on the second peer.The key value can be 16, 32, or 40 hexadecimal digits.There are some minimal requirements on key length:

■If a transform set for this map entry includes DES encryption, specify at least a 16-digit key.

■	If this transform set includes the MD5 algorithm, specify at least 32 digits per key.
■	If this transform set includes the SHA-1 algorithm, specify at least 40 digits per key.

If a longer key is specified, it is simply hashed (not truncated) to the required length. For PIX1, we will specify the following SPIs and keys:

PIX1(config)# crypto map pix1map 10 set session-key inbound esp 300 cipher

1234455667788909 authenticator 123445566778890acdefacd91234455667788909

PIX1(config)# crypto map pix1map 10 set session-key outbound esp 400 cipher

9887766554344556 authenticator acdefacd12238474646537485956745637485635

They include a 16-digit DES key and a 40-digit SHA-1 key.

On the second firewall we have to create a “mirror” configuration of keys and SPIs, applying the same commands but with inbound and outbound interchanged:

PIX2(config)# crypto map pix2map 10 set session-key outbound esp 300 cipher

1234455667788909 authenticator 123445566778890acdefacd91234455667788909

Cisco PIX Firewall • Chapter 8 927

PIX2(config)# crypto map pix2map 10 set session-key inbound esp 400 cipher

9887766554344556 authenticator acdefacd12238474646537485956745637485635

If we were using AH for traffic authentication, we would add the command crypto map <map-name><seq-num> set session-key outbound ah <spi> <hex-key-data>twice (one for the inbound and one for the outbound IPsec SA) to the configuration of each firewall. This uses the same agreements but requires only one key for each SPI. After applying the crypto map to the outside interfaces on both firewalls, the configuration is complete:

PIX1(config)# crypto map pix1map interface outside

PIX2(config)# crypto map pix2map interface outside

Configuring PPTP

PPTP (RFC 2637) establishes VPNs. PPTP works at Layer 2 and can support any Layer 3 traffic, including non-IP protocols. Although PPTP is usually associated with Microsoft, it was actually designed by the PPTP Forum.

Configuration

Most of the PPTP configuration tasks on the PIX are performed using VPDN (Virtual Private Dialup Networking) commands. VPDN is a common term for PPTP, L2TP, and PPPoE configurations.The first step is to permit incoming PPTP traffic with the sysopt connection permit pptp command.This command implicitly allows all traffic from authenticated PPTP clients to pass to its destination without additional conduits or ACLs. Without this command, the administrator would need to create and expand their ACLs.

The rest of the configuration consists of the following:

1.Creating an address pool for PPTP clients

2.Creating an AAA scheme if external AAA servers are used

3.Creating a dial-in group (VPDN group) and configuring authentication and encryption variables.

4.Creating ACLs to allow PPTP clients to access internal servers (only if you did not specify the sysopt connection permit pptp command)

An IP address pool is created using the ip local pool <pool_name> <pool_start_address>[-<pool_end_address>]command syntax. In this case the command will look like ip local pool mypool 10.1.1.1-10.1.1.10.This command allocates 10 IP addresses to the pool of available addresses.The state of this pool can be displayed using the show ip local pool <pool_name> command:

PIX1# show ip local pool mypool
Pool	Begin	End	Free	In use
mypool	10.0.1.1	10.0.0.10	10	0

Available Addresses:

928 Chapter 8 • Cisco PIX Firewall

10.0.1.1

…

10.0.1.10

When the pool is depleted, new allocation attempts fail and the PIX creates a syslog message of the type: %PIX-3-213004: PPP virtual interface number client ip allocation failed.

Assuming that we will not be using external AAA servers, we have to configure local usernames and passwords with the vpdn username <name> password <pass>command. For example:

PIX1(config)# vpdn username user1 password password1

PIX1(config)# vpdn username user2 password password2

These two commands create two users, user1 with password password1 and user2 with password password2.The next step is to create a VPDN group.The minimal configuration without any authentication requires three commands:

vpdn group <group_name> accept dialin pptp

vpdn group <group_name> client configuration address local <address_pool_name>

vpdn enable <interface>

The first command enables processing of PPTP traffic by the group.The second specifies the IP address pool to be used for clients.The third command applies VPDN settings to the interface. If local authentication is used, the following commands are added:

vpdn group <group_name> ppp authentication {pap chap mschap}

vpdn group <group_name> client authentication local

The first command selects the authentication mode (PAP, CHAP, or MS-CHAP {version 1}). The same authentication protocol should be configured on PIX and on the client. If this command is not present in the PIX configuration, no authentication is performed and any client is allowed.The second line specifies that a local database will be used for authentication. When an external AAA server is used, this server is configured by usual AAA means.

PIX1(config)# aaa-server myserver (inside) host 192.168.2.99 key mysecretkey

PIX1(config)# aaa-server myserver protocol radius

This server is then specified in a VPDN group using the vpdn group <group_name> client authentication aaa <aaa-server-group>command syntax. In our case, this will be: vpdn group mygroup client authentication aaa myserver.

Encryption is specified by the vpdn group <group_name ppp> encryption mppe 40 128 auto [ required ] command. Here, 40, 128, or “auto” specifies the length of the encryption key.The auto keyword means that the PIX will accept both 40and 128-bit keys.The required keyword means that if the client refuses to support encryption with the key of specified length, the connection will be dropped.

It is possible to specify DNS and WINS server settings to be passed on to the client:

vpdn group <group_name> client configuration dns <dns_server1> [<dns_server2>]

Cisco PIX Firewall • Chapter 8 929

vpdn group <group_name> client configuration wins <wins_server1> [<wins_server2>]

The following is a configuration with local MS-CHAP authentication and no encryption:

ip local pool mypool 192.168.3.1-192.168.3.10 vpdn username user1 password password1

vpdn username user2 password password2 vpdn group 1 accept dialin pptp

vpdn group 1 ppp authentication mschap vpdn group 1 client authentication local

vpdn group 1 client configuration address local mypool vpdn enable outside

sysopt connection permit pptp

If we need more granular access to internal servers, we can replace the sysopt command from the preceding listing with an ACL on the outside interface.

ip local pool mypool 192.168.3.1-192.168.3.10 vpdn username user1 password password1

vpdn username user2 password password2 vpdn group 1 accept dialin pptp

vpdn group 1 ppp authentication mschap vpdn group 1 client authentication local

vpdn group 1 client configuration address local mypool vpdn enable outside

static (inside, outside) 10.23.34.99 192.168.2.33

access-list acl_out permit tcp 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.240 host 10.23.34.99 eq telnet access-group acl_out in interface outside

The status of PPTP tunnels can be displayed using several commands:

PIX1# show vpdn tunnel

%No active L2TP tunnels

%No active PPTP tunnels

If any tunnels were active, statistics on their number and traffic would have been displayed:

PIX1# show vpdn tunnel pptp packet

Mbox mail rapidshare search. PPTP Tunnel Information (Total tunnels=1 sessions=1)

LocID	Pkts-In	Pkts-Out	Bytes-In	Bytes-Out
1	1234	23	200323	553

The preceding command shows only the traffic statistics for active PPTP data tunnels. Another command is used to monitor PPTP tunnels themselves:

PIX1# show vpdn tunnel pptp summary

PPTP Tunnel Information (Total tunnels=1 sessions=1)

930	Chapter 8 • Cisco PIX Firewall
LocID	RemID	State	Remote Address	Port Sessions
1	1	estabd	172.16.38.194	1723 1

The following commands display transport layer statistics and session information, respectively:

show vpdn tunnel pptp transport

show vpdn pptp session

Configuring L2TPwith IPsec

L2TP tunnels Layer 2 traffic over public network. L2TP is a hybrid of Cisco’s Layer 2 Forwarding Protocol (L2F) and PPTP. L2TP by itself does not protect the traffic it tunnels; it requires IPsec to do that. L2TP/IPsec works by establishing an IPsec tunnel in transport mode, encapsulating traffic between the networks in PPP packets, and transmitting between UDP ports 1701 on the client and the server through the IPsec tunnel (see Figure 8.19).Thus, configuration consists of two parts: IPsec configuration and VPDN configuration (the latter is very similar to PPTP).

Figure 8.19 L2TP Packet Structure

Many features of the PIX L2TP server are similar to the PPTP server implementation. L2TP can be configured only on one interface, and uses PPP authentication methods for client authentication.The PIX cannot serve as an L2TP client. Dynamic crypto maps are used with L2TP.

Cisco PIX Firewall • Chapter 8 931

Dynamic Crypto Maps

A dynamic crypto map is a crypto map without all parameters configured. It is part of the crypto map and is used to establish IPsec connections with peers whose IP addresses are not known in advance. When using dynamic crypto maps, the client must first authenticate to the firewall by something (hostname, for example) during IKE exchange. Afterwards, their traffic is processed under the rules defined by the dynamic crypto map entry.

To configure a dynamic crypto map entry, specify only a transform set. All other parameters can be accepted from the other peer’s proposals. Dynamic maps can be used only for incoming connections and must be the lowest priority. When the PIX uses a specific dynamic, it creates a temporary crypto map entry and installs it into its SPD.The entry is filled in with the results of IKE negotiations. Once established, this temporary entry is used as normal. When all IPsec SAs associated with this entry expire, the temporary entry is deleted.

Configuration commands for the dynamic crypto maps are similar to those for static crypto map entries:

crypto dynamic-map <dynamic-map-name> <dynamic-seq-num>

crypto dynamic-map <dynamic-map-name> <dynamic-seq-num> match address <acl_name> crypto dynamic-map <dynamic-map-name> <dynamic-seq-num> set peer {<hostname> <ipaddress>}

crypto dynamic-map <dynamic-map-name> <dynamic-seq-num> set pfs [group1 group2] crypto dynamic-map <dynamic-map-name> <dynamic-seq-num> set security-association lifetime {seconds <seconds> kilobytes <kilobytes>}

crypto dynamic-map <dynamic-map-name> <dynamic-seq-num> set transform-set transform- set-name1 [transform-set-name2 [transform-set-name3 … [transform-set-name9]]]

Only the transform set specification must be present in the configuration of a dynamic crypto map entry. It is also recommended that an ACL be specified in the match address command to increase security. A configured dynamic crypto map is then assigned as an entry in a regular crypto map. For example:

crypto ipsec transform-set myset1 esp-des esp-md5-hmac crypto ipsec transform-set myset2 ah-sha-hmac

crypto dynamic-map dynmap 10

crypto dynamic-map dynmap set transform-set myset2 crypto dynamic-map dynmap match address 101

crypto dynamic-map dynmap 20

crypto dynamic-map dynmap set transform-set myset1 crypto dynamic-map dynmap match address 102

crypto map gorilla 10 ipsec-isakmp

crypto map gorilla 10 set peer 10.34.45.56

crypto map gorilla 10 set transform-set myset1 myset2 crypto map gorilla 10 match address 103

crypto map gorilla 20 ipsec-isakmp dynamic dynmap

932 Chapter 8 • Cisco PIX Firewall

access-list 103 permit ip 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 any access-list 101 permit ip host 192.168.2.33 any access-list 102 permit ip host 192.168.2.34 any

The crypto map, gorilla, has a dynamic map entry called dynmap with priority 20.This means that the PIX will first evaluate the static entry with priority 10 (the one with peer 10.34.45.65), and if this entry does not apply, it will try the dynamic map.

Configuration

Configuring L2TP on the PIX consists of three phases:

1.Configure IKE.

2.Configure IPsec in transport mode.

3.Configure VPDN dial-in settings for L2TP.

IKE is configured as before. In our example, clients will be allowed access to an internal host 192.168.2.33. IKE authentication will be done using VeriSign certificates, and user authentication will be handled by a RADIUS server. First, we need to make IPsec and L2TP traffic exempt from conduits:

PIX1(config)# sysopt connection permit ipsec

PIX1(config)# sysopt connection permit l2tp

CA support is configured the same as before:

PIX1(config)# hostname PIX1

PIX1(config)# domain-name securecorp.com

PIX1(config)# ca generate rsa key 1024

PIX1(config)# ca identity verisign 205.139.94.230

PIX1(config)# ca configure verisign ca 1 20 crloptional

PIX1(config)# ca authenticate verisign

PIX1(config)# ca enroll verisign midnightinmoscow

PIX1(config)# ca save all

PIX1(config)# write memory

IKE is configured the same as before:

PIX1(config)# isakmp policy 10 authentication rsa-sig

PIX1(config)# isakmp policy 10 encryption 3des

PIX1(config)# isakmp policy 10 hash md5

PIX1(config)# isakmp policy 10 group 2

PIX1(config)# isakmp policy 10 lifetime 2400

PIX1(config)# isakmp identity hostname

PIX1(config)# isakmp enable outside

Cisco PIX Firewall • Chapter 8 933

Continue the IPsec configuration by defining the crypto ACL and configuring the NAT bypass:

PIX1(config)# access-list 99 permit ip 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 any

IPsec traffic has to be exempt from the NAT, as it was before:

PIX1(config)# nat (inside) 0 access-list 99

Configure the transform set and specify that the IPsec mode is transport:

PIX1(config)# crypto ipsec transform-set myset esp-des esp-md5-hmac

PIX1(config)# crypto ipsec transform-set myset mode transport

We create a simple dynamic crypto map to process mobile clients with unspecified IP addresses:

PIX1(config)# crypto dynamic-map mobileclients 10 set transform-set myset

PIX1(config)# crypto dynamic-map mobileclients 10 match address 99

We configure and apply the regular crypto map, which includes this dynamic map as an entry:

PIX1(config)# crypto map partners 20 ipsec-isakmp dynamic mobileclients

PIX1(config)# crypto map partners interface outside

IKE and IPsec configuration is now complete. Next we need to configure the VPDN settings. Almost all the commands are identical to PPTP:

vpdn group <group_name> accept dialin l2tp (enables L2TP) vpdn group <group_name> l2tp tunnel hello <hello_timeout>

vpdn group <group_name> client configuration address local <address_pool_name> vpdn group <group_name> client configuration dns <dns_ip1> [<dns_ip2>]

vpdn group <group_name> client configuration wins <wins_ip1> [<wins_ip2>] vpdn group <group_name> client authentication aaa <aaa_server_group> vpdn group <group_name> client authentication local

vpdn group <group_name> ppp authentication {pap chap mschap} vpdn group <group_name> client accounting <aaa_server_group>

The resulting VPDN configuration is as follows:

PIX1(config)# ip local pool mypool 192.168.5.1-192.168.5.10

PIX1(config)# aaa-server myserver (inside) host 192.168.2.99 key mysecretkey

PIX1(config)# aaa-server myserver protocol radius

PIX1(config)# vpdn group 1 accept dialin l2tp

PIX1(config)# vpdn group 1 ppp authentication mschap

PIX1(config)# vpdn group 1 client authentication aaa myserver

PIX1(config)# vpdn group 1 client configuration address local mypool

PIX1(config)# vpdn group 1 client configuration dns 192.168.2.33

934Chapter 8 • Cisco PIX Firewall

PIX1(config)# vpdn group 1 client configuration wins 192.168.2.34

PIX1(config)# vpdn enable outside

Configuring Support for

the Cisco Software VPN Client

The Cisco software VPN client is used with Cisco VPN concentrators, PIX, and IOS-based devices.The VPN client is installed on a client computer and takes preference over the internal Windows IPsec client. Installation of the Cisco VPN client is straightforward, and it gathers pertinent details from you while installing.

Mode Configuration

IKE mode configuration allows you to assign an internal IP address to the VPN client during the IKE negotiation process.The client uses this address in its communications over the IPsec tunnel.

IKE mode configuration occurs between Phases 1 and 2 of IKE negotiation. During this process, it is possible to download an IP address and other IP-related settings such as DNS servers to the client.There are two types of IKE mode configuration negotiation:

■Gateway Initiation Server initiates the configuration mode with the client. After the client responds, IKE modifies the sender’s identity, the message is processed, and the client receives a response.

■Client Initiation Client initiates the configuration mode with the gateway.The gateway responds with an IP address it has allocated for the client.

There are three steps for configuring IKE mode configuration on PIX firewall:

1.Define an IP address pool, as was done in the section about L2TP, with the ip local pool pool_name pool_start_address[-pool_end_address]command syntax.

2.Reference the IP address pool in the IKE configuration with the isakmp client configuration address-pool local <pool-name>[<interface-name>]command.This command states that IKE on interface interface-nameshould use the address pool named pool-nameto assign local IP addresses to VPN clients.

3.Define the crypto map settings that should negotiate IKE mode configuration with the client and whether the client or gateway will be initiating this process.The relevant command is: crypto map <map-name> client configuration address initiate respond. Map-nameis the name of crypto map, initiate means that the gateway initiates IKE mode configuration, and respond means that client should start the process itself and the gateway responds. For example:

ip local pool modeconf 172.16.1.1-172.16.1.126

isakmp client configuration address-pool local modeconf outside crypto map mymap client configuration address initiate

Cisco PIX Firewall • Chapter 8 935

These settings (if all the rest of IKE and IPsec is configured) will initiate IKE mode configuration with each client who matches crypto map mymap. Clients will be assigned IP addresses from the 172.16.1.1 through 172.16.1.126 address range.

One slight complication arises if the same interface is used for terminating both VPN clients and peers with static IP addresses (site-to-site gateways). Such peers have to be excluded from the IKE mode configuration process.This is accomplished with the isakmp key <keystring> address <ip-address> [<netmask>] no-config-modecommand.

To specify that a peer 10.34.45.56 uses the pre-shared key mysecretkey for IKE authentication and needs to be excluded from IKE mode configuration, use the command: isakmp key mysecretkey address 10.34.45.56 255.255.255.255 no-config-mode.

Extended Authentication

IKE Extended Authentication (xauth) is useful when configuring the Cisco software VPN client to access the PIX firewall because it allows authentication after IKE Phase 1 and before Phase 2. With xauth, IKE can support user authentication by allowing the server to request a username and password from the client.The user is verified against an external RADIUS or TACACS+ server. (Local authentication cannot be used.) If verification fails, the IKE SA for this connection is deleted and the IPsec SAs will not be established. xauth negotiation is performed before IKE mode configuration.

Before you enable xauth, define an AAA server group with AAA servers:

aaa-server <group_tag> protocol <auth_protocol>

aaa-server <group_tag> [(interface)] host <server_ip> [<key>] [timeout <seconds>]

For example:

PIX1(config)# aaa-server vpnauthgroup protocol radius

PIX1(config)# aaa-server vpnauthgroup (inside) host 192.168.2.33 secretkey timeout 60

xauth negotiation is enabled in the crypto map.This is done using the following command:

crypto map <map-name> client authentication <group_tag>

The crypto map mymap client authentication vpnauthgroup command configures IKE negotiations under map mymap to use xauth and authentication will be performed using the previously defined server 192.168.2.33.

Xauth faces the same problems as IKE mode configuration when the same interface is used for termination of both clients with dynamic addresses and site-to-site tunnels. Exclude the static devices from xauth: isakmp key <keystring> address <ip-address> [<netmask>] noxauth (for example: isakmp key mysecretkey address 23.34.45.56 255.255.255.255 noxauth).

VPN Groups

A Cisco VPN client logs into a VPN group in order to download its security parameters. A group is configured on PIX using the vpngroup set of commands:

Mitch Omer reveals the recipes that have made his restaurant a pleasure seeker's destination, including inventions like his tart, ethereal Lemon-Ricotta Hotcakes; dark, wild Bison Sausage Bread; and sweet, creamy Mahnomin Porridge. These dishes have the hungry and eager queued up out the doors of Hell's Kitchen, often for hours, and now you can make them at home. Food writer Ann Bauer also gives us a glimpse behind the scenes, revealing Omer's darker side, the side responsible for the decor of Hell's Kitchen, described as the 'nightmare side of Sesame Street'. Bipolar, obsessive-compulsive, and a former addict, Omer's roller-coaster ride of a life has taken him through many towns and love affairs, numerous jobs, and even more controlled substances. But through it all, there has been food--recipes inspired by places and people, including Omer's own close-knit family, reworked and made his own. He beats back his demons every day with his dad's caramel rolls and coleslaw, locally raised bison burgers smeared with his mum's mustard, and his own famous home-made peanut butter, and he invites you in to share it all.

Lloyd Kaufman, the writer/producer/director of such cult-classic films as The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High, and Tromeo and Juliet, offers a guide to movie-making unlike any other available anywhere. In 25 years, Kaufman, along with partner Michael Herz, has built Troma Studios up from a company struggling to find its voice in a field crowded with competitors to its current--and legendary--status as a lone survivor, a bastion of true cinematic independence, and the world's greatest collection of camp on film. As entertaining and funny as it is informative and insightful, Make Your Own Damn Movie! places Kaufman's radically low-budget, independent-studio style of filmaking directly in the reader's hands. Thus we learn how to: develop and write a knock-out screenplay; raise funding; find locations and cast actors; hire a crew; obtain equipment, permits, and music rights (all for little or no money); make incredible special effects for $0.79 each; charm, schmooze, and network while on the film-festival circuit; and, finally, make a bad actor act so bad it's actually good. From scriptwriting and directing to financing and marketing, this book is brimming with utterly off-the-wall, decidedly maverick, yet consistently proven advice on how to fully develop one's idea for an independent film.
