Configure L2TP Over IPsec Between Windows 8 PC and ASA Using Pre-shared Key
Available Languages
Contents
Introduction
This document describes how to configure Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) over IPsec using pre-shared key between Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Windows 8 native client.
L2TP over Internet Protocol security (IPsec) provides the capability to deploy and administer an L2TP Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution alongside the IPsec VPN and firewall services in a single platform.
Prerequisites
Requirements
Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics:
- IP connectivity from the client machine to the ASA. To test connectivity, try to ping the IP address of the ASA from client endpoint and vice versa
- Ensure that UDP port 500 and 4500 and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol is not blocked anywhere along the path of the connection
Restrictions
- L2TP over IPsec supports only IKEv1. IKEv2 is not supported.
- L2TP with IPsec on the ASA allows the LNS to interoperate with native VPN clients integrated in such operating systems as Windows, MAC OS X, Android, and Cisco IOS. Only L2TP with IPsec is supported, native L2TP itself is not supported on ASA.
- The minimum IPsec security association lifetime supported by the Windows client is 300 seconds. If the lifetime on the ASA is set to less than 300 seconds, the Windows client ignores it and replaces it with a 300 second lifetime.
- The ASA only supports the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) authentications Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), Versions 1 and 2, on the local database. Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and CHAP are performed by proxy authentication servers. Therefore, if a remote user belongs to a tunnel group configured with the authentication eap-proxy or authentication chap commands, and the ASA is configured to use the local database, that user cannot connect.
Supported PPP Authentication Types
L2TP over IPsec connections on the ASA support only the PPP authentication types shown in Table

| PPP Authentication Type Characteristics |
||
| Keyword |
Authentication Type |
Characteristics |
| chap |
CHAP |
In response to the server challenge, the client returns the encrypted [challenge plus password] with a clear text username. This protocol is more secure than the PAP, but it does not encrypt data. |
| eap-proxy |
EAP |
Enables EAP which permits the security appliance to proxy the PPP authentication process to an external RADIUS authentication server. |
| ms-chap-v1 ms-chap-v2 |
Microsoft CHAP, Version 1 Microsoft CHAP, Version, 2 |
Similar to CHAP but more secure in that the server stores and compares only encrypted passwords rather than clear text passwords as in CHAP. This protocol also generates a key for data encryption by MPPE. |
| pap |
PAP |
Passes clear text username and password during authentication and is not secure. |

Background Information
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a VPN tunneling protocol that allows remote clients to use the public IP network to securely communicate with private corporate network servers. L2TP uses PPP over UDP (port 1701) to tunnel the data.
L2TP protocol is based on the client/server model. The function is divided between the L2TP Network Server (LNS), and the L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC). The LNS typically runs on a network gateway such as the ASA in this case, while the LAC can be a dial-up Network Access Server (NAS) or an endpoint device with a bundled L2TP client such as Microsoft Windows, Apple iPhone, or Android.
Configure
This section is presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.
Network Diagram
Full Tunnel Configuration
ASA Configuration Using Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM)
Complete these steps:
Step 1. Log in to the ASDM, and navigate to Wizards > VPN Wizards > Ipsec (IKEv1) Remote Access VPN Wizard.
Step 2. A Remote Access VPN setup window appears. From the drop-down list, choose the interface on which VPN tunnel has to be terminated. In this example outside interface is connected to WAN and so terminating VPN tunnels on this interface. Keep the box Enable inbound IPSec sessions to bypass interface access lists. Group policy and per-user authorization access lists still apply to the traffic checked so that new access-list need not to be configured on outside interface to allow the clients to access internal resources. Click Next.
Step 3. As showin in this image, choose the client type as Microsoft Windows client using L2TP over IPSec and MS-CHAP-V1 and MS-CHAP-V2 as PPP authentication protocol since PAP is not secure and other authentication types are not supported with LOCAL database as authentication server and Click Next.
Step 4. Choose the authentication method as Pre-shared-key and type the pre-shared-key which must be same on the client side as well and click Next, as shown in this image.
Step 5. Specify a method to authenticate users who attempt L2TP over IPsec connections. Either an external AAA authentication server or its own local database can be used. Choose Authenticate using the local user database if you want to authenticate the clients against local database of ASA and Click Next.
Step 6. To add new users to the local database for user authentication, enter the username and password and then click ADD or else existing user accounts in the database can be used, as shown in this image. Click Next.
Step 7. From the drop-down list, choose the address pool to be used for assigning IP address to the clients. To create new address pool, click New, as shown in this image.
Step 8. The Add IPv4 Pool dialog box appears.
- Enter the name of the new IP address pool.
- Enter the starting and ending IP addresses.
- Enter the subnet mask and click OK.
Step 9. Verify the pool settings and click Next.
Step 10. Configure the attributes to be pushed to the clients or leave it empty and click Next.
Step 11: Ensure that Enable Perfect Forwarding Secrecy (PFS) box is unchecked as some client platforms do not support this feature. Enable split tunneling to let remote users have simultaneous encrypted access to the resources defined above, and unencrypted access to the internet box is unchecked which means the full tunneling is enabled in which all traffic (including internet traffic) from the client machine will be sent to the ASA over the VPN tunnel. Click Next.
Step 12. Review the summary information and then click Finish.
ASA Configuration Using CLI
Step 1. Configure IKE Phase 1 policy parameters.
This policy is used to protect control traffic between the peers (that is, it protects pre-shared key and phase 2 negotiations)
ciscoasa(config)#crypto ikev1 policy 10[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config-ikev1-policy)#authentication pre-share
ciscoasa(config-ikev1-policy)#encryption 3des
ciscoasa(config-ikev1-policy)#hash sha
ciscoasa(config-ikev1-policy)#group 2
ciscoasa(config-ikev1-policy)#lifetime 86400
ciscoasa(config-ikev1-policy)#exit
Step 2. Configure Transform-set.
It contains IKE Phase 2 policy parameters which are used to protect the data traffic. Since the Windows L2TP/IPsec client uses IPsec transport mode, set the mode to transport. The default is tunnel mode
ciscoasa(config)#crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set TRANS-ESP-3DES-SHA esp-3des esp-sha-hmac[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config)#crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set TRANS-ESP-3DES-SHA mode transport
Step 3. Configure dynamic map.
As windows clients get dynamic IP address fron ISP or local DHCP server (example modem), ASA is not aware about the peer IP address and this poses a problem in the configuration of a static peer on the ASA end. So dynamic crypto configuration has to be approached in which all the parameters are not necessarily defined and the missing parameters are later dynamically learned, as the result of IPSec negotiation from the client.
ciscoasa(config)#crypto dynamic-map outside_dyn_map 10 set ikev1 transform-set TRANS-ESP-3DES-SHA[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Step 4. Bind dynamic map to static crypto map and apply the crypto map and enable IKEv1 on outside interface
Dynamic crypto map cannot be applied on an interface and so bind it to static crypto map. Dynamic crypto sets should be the lowest priority crypto maps in the crypto map set (that is, they should have the highest sequence numbers) so that the ASA evaluates other crypto maps first. It examines the dynamic crypto map set only when the other (static) map entries do not match.
ciscoasa(config)#crypto map outside_map 65535 ipsec-isakmp dynamic outside_dyn_map[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config)#crypto map outside_map interface outside
ciscoasa(config)#crypto ikev1 enable outside
Step 5. Create IP address pool
Create a pool of addresses from which IP addresses are assigned dynamically to the remote VPN Clients. Ignore this step to use existing pool on ASA.
ciscoasa(config)#ip local pool Address-pool 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 mask 255.255.255.0[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Step 6. Configure group-policy
Identify the group policy as internal which means the attributes is pulled from local database.
ciscoasa(config)#group-policy L2TP-VPN internal[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Configure the attributes such as vpn tunnel protocol (in our case, it is l2tp-ipsec), domain name, DNS and WINS server IP address and new user accounts
ciscoasa(config)#group-policy L2TP-VPN attributes[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config-group-policy)#dns-server value 8.8.8.8 4.4.4.2
ciscoasa(config-group-policy)#vpn-tunnel-protocol l2tp-ipsec
ciscoasa(config-group-policy)#default-domain value cisco.com
Configure usernames and passwords on the device in addition to using AAA. If the user is an L2TP client that uses Microsoft CHAP version 1 or version 2, and the ASA is configured to authenticate against the local database, mschap keyword must be included. For example, username <username> password <password> mschap.
ciscoasa(config-group-policy)# username test password test mschap[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Step 7. Configure tunnel-group
Create a tunnel group with the tunnel-group command, and specify the local address pool name used to allocate the IP address to the client. If authentication method is pre-shared-key, tunnel group name must be DefaultRAGroup as there is no option on the client to specify the tunnel group and so it lands on default tunnel-group only. Bind the group policy to tunnel-group using the default-group-policy command
ciscoasa(config)#tunnel-group DefaultRAGroup general-attributes[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config-tunnel-general)#address-pool Address-pool
ciscoasa(config-tunnel-general)#default-group-policy L2TP-VPN
ciscoasa(config-tunnel-general)#exit
Use the tunnel-group ipsec-attributes command to enter the ipsec-attribute configuration mode in order to set the pre-shared key.
ciscoasa(config)# tunnel-group DefaultRAGroup ipsec-attributes[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config-tunnel-ipsec)# ikev1 pre-shared-key C!sc0@123
ciscoasa(config-tunnel-ipsec)#exit
Configure the PPP authentication protocol with the authentication type command from tunnel group ppp-attributes mode. Disable CHAP which is enabled by default as it is not supported if AAA server is configured as local database.
ciscoasa(config)#tunnel-group DefaultRAGroup ppp-attributes[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config-ppp)#no authentication chap
ciscoasa(config-ppp)#authentication ms-chap-v2
ciscoasa(config-ppp)#exit
Step 8. Configure NAT-Exemption
Configure NAT-Exemption so that the clients can access internal resources connected to internal interfaces (In this example, internal resources are connected to inside interface).
ciscoasa(config)#object network L2TP-Pool[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config-network-object)#subnet 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
ciscoasa(config-network-object)#exit
ciscoasa(config)# nat (inside,outside) source static any any destination static L2TP-Pool L2TP-Pool no-proxy-arp route-lookup

12. Networks icon will pop up and click Connect on L2TP VPN connection.
13. Enter the user credentials and click OK.
If the required parameters are matched on both the ends, L2TP/IPsec connection will be established.
Split Tunnel Configuration
Split tunnelling is a feature that you can use in order to define the traffic for the subnets or hosts that must be encrypted. This involves the configuration of an Access Control List (ACL) that is associated with this feature. The traffic for the subnets or hosts that is defined on this ACL gets encrypted over the tunnel from the client-end, and the routes for these subnets are installed on the PC routing table. ASA intercepts DHCPINFORM message from a client and responds with the subnet mask, domain name, and classless static routes.
Configuration on ASA
ciscoasa(config)# access-list SPLIT standard permit 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0[an error occurred while processing this directive]
ciscoasa(config)# group-policy DefaultRAGroup attributes
ciscoasa(config-group-policy)# split-tunnel-policy tunnelspecified
ciscoasa(config-group-policy)# split-tunnel-network-list value SPLIT
ciscoasa(config-group-policy)# intercept-dhcp 255.255.255.255 enable
Configuration on L2TP/IPsec client
1. Right click on the L2TP VPN adapter and choose Properties.
2. Navigate to Networking tab, choose Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click on Properties.
