Cisco 5505 to Azure site to site IPsec problem

Did you follow this doc? It can build your Cisco Config for you.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj156210#bkmk_ConfigVPN

Hi Agonza, thanks for replying.

Yes, we followed the site you recommended above, and also followed this script:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj156089

Before using ASA 5505, we were using mikrotik, and the IPSec site to site VPN worked fine although sometime it would disconnect and be slow. This is why we changed to ASA 5505.

However, the person from the ISP who setup the ASA 5505 for internet access is not an expert at Cisco. The internet works at this moment, but we suspect the way he has set the NAT/PAT could be causing this failure. If we go to check our public IP on 'what's my IP' website, it comes up correctly though as that 116.254.102.xx

When I type "show crypto isakmp sa" it says:
There are no IKEv1 SAs
There are no IKEv2 SAs

Is this possible? The way the NAT/PAT is setup is causing this?

You are missing the no nat or twice nat statement.

Hi rauenpc, thanks for the reply.

I'm not very good at cisco at all, so after searching on the net, I tried this, but still doesn't work. Is this what you mean?

nat (inside, outside) source static BetaOnpremise BetaOnpremise destination static AzureNetwork AzureNetwork

I have also checked the log again, and it still says that:
"Deny Inbound UDP from 168.63.250.xx/500 to 0.0.0.0/500 on interface outside"

(168.63.250.xx) is the Azure Gateway.

I've tried adding ACLs (is this what I'm supposed to do?) but it didn't work. Maybe I'm not doing this properly though.

Thanks.

That is the correct nat statement as far as I can tell.

The crypto map along with enabling ikev1 on the interface supersedes any acl you have in place, so there shouldn't be a need to add any interface acl's.

 The destination the azure must be configured for will be the ip configured on the outside interface which for you is 11.24.10.46. The only way around this is to have a nat device in front of the Asa, which can sometimes cause additional challenges.

Is the azure configured for the 11.24.10.46 address or 116.254.102.x?

Hi rauenpc, thanks for the super fast reply. I have changed the azure to the 11.24 (it was the 116.254 before). It still doesn't work.

But when I open a website 'what's my ip', it shows the 116.254. Is this how we're supposed to set it?

Hi,

you need group policy config:

group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
 vpn-tunnel-protocol ikev1 l2tp-ipsec ssl-client ssl-clientless

you need same ike policy on booth sides:

crypto ikev2 enable outside
crypto ikev1 enable outside
crypto ikev1 ipsec-over-tcp port 10000 
crypto ikev1 policy 5
 authentication rsa-sig
 encryption aes-256
 hash sha
 group 5
 lifetime 86400
crypto ikev1 policy 10
 authentication pre-share
 encryption 3des
 hash sha
 group 2
 lifetime 86400
crypto ikev1 policy 40
 authentication pre-share
 encryption 3des
 hash md5
 group 1
 lifetime 86400
crypto ikev1 policy 50
 authentication pre-share
 encryption des
 hash md5
 group 2
 lifetime 86400
crypto ikev1 policy 65535
 authentication pre-share
 encryption 3des
 hash sha
 group 2
 lifetime 86400

Select all Open in new window

you need to create double nat for IPSEC traffic:

object-group network AzureNetwork
network-object 192.168.6.0 255.255.255.0
object-group network BetaOnpremise
network-object 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
nat (inside,any) source static AzureNetwork AzureNetwork destination static BetaOnpremise BetaOnpremise

Select all Open in new window

Hi Ikalmar (and Rauenpc), I have tried adding group policy, ike policy and double nat as per your solution, but I still get the same error:

"Deny Inbound UDP from 168.63.250.xx/500 to 0.0.0.0/500 on interface outside"

I have then reset everything back and re run the config script from Microsoft. Here's my final running config. Still the same error as above though.

Hi Rauenpc, I think you might be on to something. When I configure azure for the 11.24.10.46 address instead of the 116.254.102.x, the error (that it's being blocked on UDP 500) doesn't show anymore.

What should I do next? I'm still not connected. Should I send some logs/debug? How do I get the logs/debug?

I also tried the packet trace from local network to azure network. It says packet dropped. I assume this is bad?
question-expert-exchange.jpg

please debug:

deb cry ikev1 128
deb cry ips 128

Hi ikalmar and all, what I've done now is:
- Reset cisco to factory settings
- Asked the ISP to give me a public IP (no more P2P) so I can put this on the outside interface
- Put the script from Microsoft Azure

The good news is that IPSec now works, but we can't access the internet/the azure network (ping doesn't work).

So now I hope it's just a simple nat/acl problem. How do I get access to internet? Strangely it was working when it was using the P2P using the private IP from the ISP.

I have setup the default route, but maybe there's something wrong with the PAT/NAT? When I do a packet trace it says packet dropped by acl.

Hi Rauenpc, thanks for your response. Unfortunately it doesn't work still. Please see current config attached in this message as well as packet tracer.

Internet doesn't work (unable to ping to gateway from inside).

IPSec still connected but still no ping doable.

Do I need to add acls? I haven't modified any acls yet.

The reason we failed is because we were using pings to test for internet connectivity. Pings still doesnt work but internet works. Sorry for the confusion. Now both ipsec site to site and internet works.
