IPSec VPN with Dynamic Routing / Mikrotik and Cisco


This example shows how to setup an IPSec VPN using dynamic routing protocol (RIP), it can be use also another protocol. In this exaple you can find setup between Mikrotik and Cisco routers, but it can be done also just between Mikrotik routers, but to be more colorfull I decided to use Mikrotik and Cisco. Below are the steps to complete the configuration of IPSec VPN with Dynamic Routing.

Mikrotik RouterOS
If you are using ROS v3.x or above, be sure to check the end of this list to see a list of necessary mod. First should configure a Tunnel Interface:
/ interface ipip add name="Tunnel1" mtu=1480 local-address=10.10.1.100 remote-address=10.10.1.200 comment="" disabled=no

After that all interfaces are configured, than should asign IP addresses for interfaces:
/ ip address add address=10.10.1.100/24 network=10.10.1.0 broadcast=10.10.1.255 interface=WAN comment="" disabled=no add address=192.168.1.1/24 network=192.168.1.0 broadcast=192.168.1.255 interface=LAN comment="" disabled=no add address=172.16.0.1/30 network=172.16.0.0 broadcast=172.16.0.3 interface=Tunnel1 comment="" disabled=no

Enable Routing in Mikrotik Router, in this case RIP:


/ routing rip set redistribute-static=no redistribute-connected=no redistribute-ospf=no redistribute-bgp=no metric-static=1 \ metric-connected=1 metric-ospf=1 metric-bgp=1 update-timer=30s timeout-timer=3m garbage-timer=2m

/ routing rip interface add interface=Tunnel1 receive=v2 send=v2 authentication=none authentication-key="" prefix-list-in="" prefix-list-out="" / routing rip neighbor add address=172.16.0.2 / routing rip network add address=192.168.1.0/24 add address=172.16.0.0/30

In v3.x the bolded line will change on:


/ routing rip interface add interface=Tunnel1 receive=v2 send=v2 authentication=none authentication-key="" in-prefix-list="" out-prefix-list=""

IPSec setup, here should be defined the ipsec policy, peer and proposal. Make sure that policy should not have enabled option tunnel, in this case tunel should be set to NO, because it will be used the transport mode of IPSec not the tunnel mode:
/ ip ipsec proposal add name="IPSec" auth-algorithms=md5 enc-algorithms=3des lifetime=30m lifebytes=0 pfs-group=modp1024 disabled=no / ip ipsec peer add address=10.10.1.200 secret="ipsec" generate-policy=no exchange-mode=main send-initial-contact=yes \ proposal-check=obey / ip ipsec policy hash-algorithm=md5 enc-algorithm=3des dh-group=modp1024 lifetime=1d lifebytes=0 disabled=no

IPSec VPN with Dynamic Routing / Mikrotik and Cisco sh ip rip database This example can be implemented also with another routing protocol like OSPF, and also very simply we can setup here a failover connection. Regarding the failover, the setup is very easy, all that we need is to create another set of tunnels via another ISP or gateway, but again the remote peer is the same router. Instead of the routing protocol for the second set of tunnels, it needs static routes to be configured, only that the static routes should have higher distance than the dynamic protocol. The idea is that, when the primary link will go down (dynamic routing distance=120) than the backup link becomes active (static routes distance=200), as soon as the primary link will come up, it will put the failover link in inactive mode.
