Question

IPsec-SDM-Site-to-site-VPN.jpg

Next Gen University main campus is located in Santa Cruz. The University has recently established various remote campuses offering e-learning services. The University is using Ipsec VPN connectivity between its main and remote campuses San Jose(SJ), Los Angeles(LA), Sacremento(SAC). As a recent addition to the IT/Networking team, you have been tasked to document the Ipsec VPN configurations to the remote campuses using the Cisco Router and SDM utility. Using the SDM output from VPN Tasks under the Configure tab to answer this question.

Note:

Before reading the answers and explanations, you can try answering these 4 questions. Below are the screenshots that are necessary to answer all the questions.

Click on the Configure tab on the top menu and then click on the VPN tab on the left-side menu to see these tabs

Question 1

Which one of these statements is correct in regards to Next Gen University Ipsec tunnel between its Santa Cruz main campus and its SJ remote campus?

A. It is using Ipsec tunnel mode, AES encryption, and SHA HMAC integrity Check.
B. It is using Ipsec transport mode, 3DES encryption, and SHA HMAC integrity Check.
C. It is using Ipsec tunnel mode to protect the traffic between the 10.10.10.0/24 and the 10.2.54.0/24 subnet.
D. It is using digital certificate to authenticate between the Ipsec peers and DH group 2.
E. It is using pre-shared key to authenticate between the Ipsec peers and DH group 5.

Answer: C

Explanation

From the Site-to-site VPN tab, we specify that the SJ’s IP address is 192.168.2.57 with IPsec Rule of 152. Click on the IPSec Rules group to see what rule 152 is -> rule 152 is permit source 10.10.10.0/24 to destination 10.2.54.0/24.

IPsec-site-to-site_TabSite_to_site_VPN_scales_answer.jpg

IPsec-SDM-Site-to-site-VPN-TabIPsec_Rules_scaled_answer.jpg

Also, in the description of the above tab, we can see “Tunnel to SJ remote campus” -> it uses Tunnel mode (although it is only the description and can be anything but we can believe it uses Tunnel mode). If you don’t want to accept this explanation then have a look at the IPSec Policy & Seq No. columns, which are SDM_CMAP_1 & 1. Click on the VPN Components\IPSec\IPSec Policies group we will learn the corresponding Transform Set is ESP-3DES-SHA. Then click on the Transform Sets group we can see the corresponding mode is TUNNEL.


Question 2

Which one of these statements is correct in regards to Next Gen University Ipsec tunnel between its Santa Cruz main campus and its SAC remote campus?

A. The SAC remote campus remote router is using dynamic IP address; therefore, the Santa Cruz router is using a dynamic crypto map.
B. Dead Peer Detection (DPD) is used to monitor the Ipsec tunnel, so if there is no traffic traversing between the two sites, the Ipsec tunnel will disconnect.
C. Tunnel mode is used; therefore, a GRE tunnel interface will be configured.
D. Only the ESP protocol is being used; AH is not being used.


Answer: D

Explanation

A is not correct because the VPN Components\IPSec\Dynamic Crypto Map group is empty -> the Santa Cruz router is not using a dynamic crypto map.

Not sure about answer B. We can find DPD information in the VPN Components\IKE\IKE Profiles group but I am not sure if this group exists in the exam.

C is not correct as we can use Tunnel mode without a GRE tunnel.

D is correct as we can see there is no AH configured under AH Integrity column in the VPN Components\IPSec\Transform Sets group (while in the ESP Integrity column it is ESP_SHA_HMAC).

Question 3

Which of these is used to define which traffic will be protected by IPsec between the Next Gen University Santa Cruz main campus and its SAC remote campus?

A. ACL 177
B. ACL 167
C. ACL 152
D. ESP-3DES-SHA1 transform set
E. ESP-3DES-SHA2 transform set
F. IKE Phase 1


Answer: A

Explanation

In the VPN\Site-to-site-VPN group we can easily see the SAC remote campus is protected by IPSec rule 177, which is an access-list

IPsec-site-to-site_TabSite_to_site_VPN_scales.jpg

Question 4

The Ipsec tunnel to the SAC remote campus terminates at which IP address, and what is the protected subnet behind the SAC remote campus router? (Choose two)

A. 192.168.2.57
B. 192.168.5.48
C. 192.168.8.58
D. 10.2.54.0/24
E. 10.5.66.0/24
F. 10.8.75.0/24


Answer: C F

Explanation

IPsec-SDM-Site-to-site-VPN-TabIPsec_Rules_2_scaled.jpg

Note:

Some terminologies you should know when configuring SDM

IPSec

A framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity, and data authentication between participating peers. IPSec provides these security services at the IP layer. IPSec uses IKE to handle negotiation of protocols and algorithms based on local policy and to generate the encryption and authentication keys to be used by IPSec. IPSec can be used to protect one or more data flows between a pair of hosts, between a pair of security gateways, or between a security gateway and a host.

IPSec Policy

In SDM, an IPSec policy is a named set of crypto map associated with a VPN connection.

Internet Key Exchange (IKE)

Internet Key Exchange (IKE) is a standard method for arranging for secure, authenticated communications. IKE establishes session keys (and associated cryptographic and networking configuration) between two hosts across the network.

Cisco SDM lets you create IKE policies that will protect the identities of peers during authentication. Cisco SDM also lets you create pre-shared keys that peers exchange.

IKE Policies

IKE negotiations must be protected; therefore, each IKE negotiation begins by each peer agreeing on a common (shared) IKE policy. This policy states which security parameters will be used to protect subsequent IKE negotiations. This window shows the IKE policies configured on the router, and allows you to add, edit, or remove an IKE policy from the router’s configuration. If no IKE policies have been configured on the router, this window shows the default IKE policy.

After the two peers agree on a policy, the security parameters of the policy are identified by a security association established at each peer. These security associations apply to all subsequent IKE traffic during the negotiation.

Hash

The authentication algorithm for negotiation. There are two possible values:
+ Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA)
+ Message Digest 5 (MD5)

Authentication

The authentication method to be used.
+ Pre-SHARE: Authentication will be performed using pre-shared keys.
+ RSA_SIG: Authentication will be performed using digital signatures.

D-H Group

Diffie-Hellman (D-H) Group. Diffie-Hellman is a public-key cryptography protocol that allows two routers to establish a shared secret over an unsecure communications channel. The options are as follows:
+ group1 – 768-bit D-H Group. D-H Group 1.
+ group2 – 1024-bit D-H Group. D-H Group 2. This group provides more security than group 1, but requires more processing time.
+ group5 – 1536-bit D-H Group. D-H Group 5. This group provides more security than group 2, but requires more processing time.

AH

Authentication Header. This is an older IPSec protocol that is less important in most networks than ESP. AH provides authentication services but does not provide encryption services. It is provided to ensure compatibility with IPSec peers that do not support ESP, which provides both authentication and encryption.

AH-MD5-HMAC: Authentication Header with the MD5 (HMAC variant) hash algorithm.
AH-SHA-HMAC: Authentication Header with the SHA (HMAC variant) hash algorithm.

DES

Data Encryption Standard. Standard cryptographic algorithm developed and standardized by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Uses a secret 56-bit encryption key. The DES algorithm is included in many encryption standards.

3DES

Triple DES. An encryption algorithm that uses three 56-bit DES encryption keys (effectively 168 bits) in quick succession. An alternative 3DES version uses just two 56-bit DES keys, but uses one of them twice, resulting effectively in a 112-bit key length. Legal for use only in the United States.

ESP

Encapsulating Security Payload. An IPSec protocol that provides both data integrity and confidentiality. Also known as Encapsulating Security Payload, ESP provides confidentiality, data origin authentication, replay-detection, connectionless integrity, partial sequence integrity, and limited traffic flow confidentiality.

+ ESP-MD5-HMAC: ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) transform using the MD5-variant SHA authentication algorithm.
+ ESP-SHA-HMAC: ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) transform using the HMAC-variant SHA authentication algorithm.

GRE

Generic routing encapsulation. Tunneling protocol developed by Cisco that can encapsulate a wide variety of protocol packet types inside IP tunnels, creating a virtual point-to-point link to Cisco routers at remote points over an IP internetwork. By connecting multiprotocol subnetworks in a single-protocol backbone environment, IP tunneling using GRE allows network expansion across a single-protocol backbone environment.

HMAC

Hash-based Message Authentication Code. HMAC is a mechanism for message authentication using cryptographic hash functions. HMAC can be used with any iterative cryptographic hash function, e.g., MD5, SHA-1, in combination with a secret shared key. The cryptographic strength of HMAC depends on the properties of the underlying hash function.

MD5

Message Digest 5. A one-way hashing function that produces a 128-bit hash. Both MD5 and Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA) are variations on MD4 and are designed to strengthen the security of the MD4 hashing algorithm. Cisco uses hashes for authentication within the IPSec framework. MD5 verifies the integrity and authenticates the origin of a communication.

SHA

Some encryption systems use the Secure Hashing Algorithm to generate digital signatures, as an alternative to MD5.

ISAKMP

The Internet Security Association Key Management Protocol is the basis for IKE. ISAKMP authenticates communicating peers, creates and manages security associations, and defines key generation techniques.

Pre-shared Key

One of three authentication methods offered in IPSec, with the other two methods being RSA encrypted nonces, and RSA signatures. Pre-shared keys allow for one or more clients to use individual shared secrets to authenticate encrypted tunnels to a gateway using IKE. Pre-shared keys are commonly used in small networks of up to 10 clients. With pre-shared keys, there is no need to involve a CA for security.

Digital certification and wildcard pre-shared keys (which allow for one or more clients to use a shared secret to authenticate encrypted tunnels to a gateway) are alternatives to pre-shared keys. Both digital certification and wildcard pre-shared keys are more scalable than pre-shared keys.

    Is there any way to train with SDM? I have a 1710, but unfortunately not enough flash to run SDM.

    Thank you so much

    September 1st, 2010

    curius you install SDM on your computer not in a CISCO flash router and you will run the SDM on your browser or icon of SDM , but this is the same.

    hi, i run a 3640 router in gns3 and connect winxp to the router. when i try to launch the site-to-site vpn by clicking the button on the sdm window, nothing happens. any idea?

  4. securitytut
    September 2nd, 2010

    @questionin: SDM is based on Java. You shouldn’t use lastest Java package as it makes some components in SDM inactive. You should use Java version from 6.0 to 6.10 (I used 6.0.1 and it worked well).

    Record, thanks. I meant my router needs an IOS which supports SDM, but I do not have enough mem. For this IOS. (by the way, SDM does install some files in the flash of your router when you set it up, i.e. common.tar, sdm.tar etc.)

    But from questionin I can derive that you can run SDM on a ‘virtual router’ through gns and the likes.

    Works very well. My setup GNS3 0.72 + 3725 12.4 IOS. WinXP Home. Some tips

    1. Download and install Java JDK/JRE 1.6 update 3. Yes a very specific version indeed. Only with this was I able to get the Additional tasks working properly.
    http://java.sun.com/products/archive/j2se/6u3/index.html – For download
    Do this on you lap top

    Additional step if you want to work with IPS signatures
    Now go to Control Panel -> Java Console and set the run time properties of applet so that it allows for a 256MB stack.
    -Xmx256m (is what you fill in the data entry text box)

    2. Create a loop back adapter on laptop and assign it say an IP address 172.20.0.10/16

    3. In GNS run the router and attach a cloud to say f0/0. Configure f0/0 as 172.20.0.1/16.
    Attach cloud to loopback adapter.

    4. Download SDM 2.5 install package for PC. (here you are the mercy of google rapidshare sdm 2.5)
    When installing make sure you choose the option install only on PC.
    This will create a desktop icon for SDM 2.5

    5. Ready the router for basic SDM access
    a. Create user with privilege level 15
    R1(config)#user sdmuser privilege 15 secret sdmpass
    b. Enable http server and local auth
    R1(config)#ip http server
    R1(config)#ip http secure-server
    R1(config)#ip http authentication local
    c. Protect vty
    R1(config)#line vty 0 4
    R1(config-line)#transport input ssh

    6. Now double click on the laptop SDM icon. Enter the ip address for f0/0 and choose https access.
    a. Check router f0/0 interface is pingable from a cmd prompt box on the laptop. It should be reachable via the loopback you created and attached to the cloud in GNS
    b. On Internet Explorer 8.0 disable popup blocker and in advanced options enable “Allow active content from local file”.

    If you see ‘runXXXX.shtml’ instead of the SDM GUI then you did not enable the active content.

    Let me know if this works for you

    Had the exam on 29 Oct 2010. The Labs are valid. The only difference is the ACL numbers and the IPs. However not to worry as the instructions here are clear and you will be able to find the info in SDM easily as most other tabs are disabled or do not contain any info. So Cisco only shows you in SDM the relative information. Look and the answers are clear.

    Hi SecurityTut

    I just passed the exam , thanx all securitytut.
    my advice for you all to check da answers for drag and drop espicialy IKE 1 & 2 be ware of the following questions

    130/137 is wrong , same question 56/137 is the correct one

    and

    133/137 is wrong , same question 89/137 about attack mitigation is the correct one

    i mean the answers wrong , u can exchange it by that i mentioned
    thats all i observed , for any assistant u can ask me
    ahmd_noraldeen@yahoo.com

    Hi All,

    I have given exam and passed with 1000/1000. Studied as follows-
    1. Simlets and lab – used securitytut (100 % valid)
    2. Questions- Testinside Ver 6.12 (Q.137)
    3. CISCO Official certification guide,CCNA Security Authorized Self-Study Guid
    Passing score – 804/1000
    Time- 120 mins (India)

    @sofiane,

    The ip address is the default gateway ip address as you configured in your pc to excess the external network.

    Hostname is the name of the router which you are connected to with your pc where you want to configure the router with sdm.

    For username name and password is the vty configuration using privilege 15. for example

    Router(config)#username sofiane privilege 15 secret 0 sofianepassword

    The username is sofiane
    The password is sofianepassword

    Goodluck

  47. JKano@cisco.com
    June 6th, 2011

    @Ratan Bhattacharya,

    You configure the loopback interface just the way you configure other interfaces, for example fastethernet 0/1, serial 0/0/0

    Router(configure)#interface loopback 0
    Router(configure-if)#ip address 10.1.1.1
    Router(configure-if)#no shutdown
    Router(configure-if)#exit
    Router(configure)#exit
    Router#

    NOTE: you have to specify loopback interface number you want to configure, for example loopback 0
    loopback 1
    loopback 2

    and so on and so forth

    Goodluck

    Hi All,
    you may read pass4sure 4.38 also. but then you have to master on lab and sims
    Ver 6.11(Q.133) is also valid.
    still I will prefer to go through QnA/ Topics
    from official cert guide from Cisco

    I have installed GNS3 0.72 + 3725 12.4 (23). WinXP
    . Create a loop back adapter on laptop and assign it say an IP address 172.20.0.10/16

    3. In GNS run the router and attach a cloud to say f0/0. Configure f0/0 as 172.20.0.1/16.
    Attach cloud to loopback adapter.

    I have Downloaded SDM 2.5 install package for PC.
    I installed SDM 2.5 install only on PC.
    This will create a desktop icon for SDM 2.5

    a. Create user with privilege level 15
    R1(config)#user sdmuser privilege 15 secret sdmpass
    b. Enable http server and local auth
    R1(config)#ip http server
    R1(config)#ip http secure-server
    R1(config)#ip http authentication local
    c. Protect vty
    R1(config)#line vty 0 4
    R1(config-line)#transport input ssh
    I double clicked on the laptop SDM icon. Enter the ip address for f0/0 and choose https access a message came up:Loading cisco SDM.Please wait the arrow glad keeps moving around for more 40 it nothing was display , i am wonding what steps did i miss or whats wrong.I have broswer I.E6.0.I am using Java ver 6 Please needs help.Thanks in advance

Keep in mind that the sims on this page will show you how to do them, not all the IP’s and ACL are the same on the exam, but if you understand how to find the info you shouldn’t have a problem on the exam!

    I’m keep trying to configure the SDM on GNS3 for a week but I have the same result, when the sdm starts loading it shows “Please wait while sdm is loading the current configuration from your router. Discovering router hardware attributes.”
    So now I’m looking for somebody who could help me to set up a virtual lab on mine or for remote login for some paypal donation.
    Please contact me if you have some free time for some money, contact me on keleny@gmail.com

    November 22nd, 2011

    Thanks to 9tut! Installing the sdm with gns3 was a HUGE help in fact its a must to pass if you do not have access to a isr router. The reason being is becuase they change the number of the acl’s. I would say its essential to know your way around the SDM to pass. Great site guys could not done it without you!! Kevins config was another great contributing factor as well.

    hi ALL

    what does this mean as said by timoz

    130/137 is wrong , same question 56/137 is the correct one

    and

    133/137 is wrong , same question 89/137 about attack mitigation is the correct one

  93. Juno
    February 2nd, 2012

    @Kevin@ or anyone that could help me with understanding what Kevin has done.All is fine but:

    1) I didn’t understand IP addressing,192.168.8.58 in particular

    crypto map SDM_CMAP_1 3 ipsec-isakmp
    description Tunnel to SAC remote campus
    set peer 192.168.8.58 (that is the peer/Internet facing IP for SAC? if so why this IP address is a part of the interesting traffic for VPN ???)
    match address 177

    access-list 177 remark IPsec Rule
    access-list 177 permit ip host 192.168.8.58(it should be 10.10.10.0/24) 10.2.54.0 0.0.0.255

    2)you have specified 2 exactly the same network behind SJ and SAC(refer to your ACL)

    access-list 152 remark IPsec Rule
    access-list 152 permit ip 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 10.2.54.0 0.0.0.255
    !
    access-list 177 remark IPsec Rule
    access-list 177 permit ip host 192.168.8.58 10.2.54.0 0.0.0.255

    Your VPN will not work if it can see 2 same destinations ( 10.2.54.0/24)

  94. Juno
    February 2nd, 2012

    Question 4 is wrong if you believe @Kevin@ (refer to ACL config)

    crypto map SDM_CMAP_1 2 ipsec-isakmp
    description Tunnel to LA remote campus
    set peer 192.168.5.48
    set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA1
    match address 167
    access-list 167 remark IPsec Rule
    access-list 167 permit ip 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255 10.8.75.0 0.0.0.255
    he is saying that 10.8.75.0 i behind LA Remote campus BUT question 4 says that the same subnet is behind SAC Remote Campus.

    Which one should we trust ?
