Information About PKI Split VRF in Trustpoint

Overview of PKI Split VRF in Trustpoint

The PKI Split VRF in Trustpoint feature allows you to configure VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) for certificate enrollment and for certificate revocation list (CRL) checking. The VRF is configured in the enrollment profile using the enrollment url command under the crypto pki profile enrollment command to attach the enrollment profile to a trustpoint. You can configure the same VRF for enrollment and CRL or configure different VRFs. Based on the configuration (enrollment or revocation), the corresponding VRF is selected and Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) request is sent via the respective VRF.

To configure enrollment and CRL via different routing paths, you must configure the enrollment url command using the crypto pki profile enrollment command. This configured VRF acts as an enrollment VRF and the enrollment request goes via that VRF. However, the CRL uses the global VRF configured in the trustpoint using the

If no VRF is configured in the enrollment url command, the enrollment takes global enrollment that is configured in the crypto pki trustpoint command.

Configuring the Split VRF

SUMMARY STEPS

    1.    enable

    2.    configure terminal

    3.    crypto pki profile enrollment label

    4.    enrollment url url [vrf vrf-name]

    5.    exit

    6.    show crypto pki profile

    7.    show crypto pki trustpoint


DETAILED STEPS
     Command or ActionPurpose
    Step 1 enable


    Example:
    Device> enable
     
    Enables privileged EXEC mode.
    • Enter your password if prompted.
     
    Step 2 configure terminal


    Example:
    Device# configure terminal
     
    Enters global configuration mode.  
    Step 3 crypto pki profile enrollment label


    Example:
    Device(config)# crypto pki profile enrollment pki_profile
     
    Defines an enrollment profile and enters ca-profile-enroll configuration mode.
    • label —Name for the enrollment profile; the enrollment profile name must match the name specified in the enrollment profile command.
     
    Step 4enrollment url url [vrf vrf-name]


    Example:
    Device(ca-profile-enroll)# enrollment url http://entrust:81/cda-cgi/clientcgi.exe vrf vrf1
     

    Specifies the URL and the VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) of the CA server to which to send certificate enrollment requests via HTTP or TFTP.

     
    Step 5 exit


    Example:
    Device(ca-profile-enroll)# exit
     
    Exits ca-profile-enroll configuration mode.
    • Enter this command a second time to exit global configuration mode.
     
    Step 6 show crypto pki profile


    Example:
    Device# show crypto pki profile
     
    (Optional) Displays information about PKI profile.  
    Step 7 show crypto pki trustpoint


    Example:
    Device# show crypto pki trustpoint
     
    (Optional) Displays information about PKI trustpoints.

    Enrollment and Certificate Revocation List Via Same VRF

    The following example shows how to configure the enrollment and certificate revocation list (CRL) via the same VRF:

    crypto pki trustpoint trustpoint1
    	enrollment url http://10.10.10.10:80
    	vrf vrf1
    	revocation-check crl

    Enrollment and Certificate Revocation List Via Different VRF

    The following example shows how to configure the enrollment and certificate revocation list (CRL) via different VRF:

    crypto pki profile enrollment pki_profile
     enrollment url http://10.10.10.10:80 vrf vrf2
    
    crypto pki trustpoint trustpoint1
     enrollment profile pki_profile
     vrf vrf1
     revocation-check crl
