Chapter 36 Configuring LAN-to-LAN IPSec VPNs
Creating a Transform Set
Creating a Transform Set
A transform set combines an encryption method and an authentication method. During the IPSec security
association negotiation with ISAKMP, the peers agree to use a particular transform set to protect a
particular data flow. The transform set must be the same for both peers.
A transform set protects the data flows for the access list specified in the associated crypto map entry.
You can create transform sets in the security appliance configuration, and then specify a maximum of 11
of them in a crypto map or dynamic crypto map entry.
Table 36-1
lists valid encryption and authentication methods.
Tunnel Mode is the usual way to implement IPSec between two security appliances that are connected
over an untrusted network, such as the public Internet. Tunnel mode is the default and requires no
configuration.
To configure a transform set, perform the following steps:
Step 1
In global configuration mode enter the
crypto ipsec transform-set
command. The following example
configures a transform set with the name FirstSet, esp-3des encryption, and esp-md5-hmac
authentication. The syntax is as follows:
crypto ipsec transform-set
transform-set-name
encryption-method authentication-method
hostname(config)#
crypto ipsec transform-set FirstSet esp-3des esp-md5-hmac
hostname(config)#
Step 2
Save your changes.
hostname(config)#
write memory
hostname(config)#
Configuring an ACL
The security appliance uses access control lists to control network access. By default, the security
appliance denies all traffic. You need to configure an ACL that permits traffic.
The ACLs that you configure for this LAN-to-LAN VPN control connections are based on the source
and destination IP addresses. Configure ACLs that mirror each other on both sides of the connection.
To configure an ACL, perform the following steps:
