Introduction Of MPLS

Introduction Of MPLS
MPLS defines protocol that make different paradigm for a way routers forward packets. rather than forwarding packets based on the packets destination IP address, MPLS defines how router can forward packets based on MPLS label.

What Is OSPF Sham Links? How To Configure OSPF Sham Links?
OSPF Sham links is a logical inter-area link carried by the super backbone. A Sham links is required only between two VPN sites that belong to the same area and have a backdoor link for backup purposes. OSPF adjacency is established across the sham link.

How To Configure MPLS L3 With BGP AS OVERRIDE?
BGP has a simple loop prevention mechanism for external BGP. When you see your own Autonomous system number in the AS path, we do not accept the prefix. This mechanism is fine for Internet routing but there are some other scenarios where this might be an issue

What Is MPLS L3 VPN ? How To Configure?

What Is MPLS L3 VPN ? How To Configure?
In MPLS Layer 3 the service provider will participate in routing with the customers. The customers will run static, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP or any other routing protocol with the service provider; these routes can be shared with other sites of the customers. In VPN routing information from one customer is completely separated from other customers and tunneled over the service provider MPLS network.

What is IKE (Internet Key Exchange)? How to configure IPSec site-to-site?

Internetworks

IKE (Internet Key Exchange) Phase 1

The main reason for IKE phase 1 is to establish a secure for IKE phase 2 or IPsec. let understand Phase 1 in steps 

  • The first step is Negotiation between future neighbors or peers have traffic to be 

Step 1: Negotiation

the neighbor (peer) which having traffic and want to protect will initiate the initiate INK phase 1 negotiation. Peers will negotiate about the following:

  • Hashing: peers will use a hashing algorithm to verifying the integrity and use MD5 or SHA.
  • Authentication: peers have to show their identity to prove who he is. Peers use shared keys or digital certificates.
  • DH (Diffie Hellman) group : DH group determines how strong the key is and it's used in the exchange process of the key. The higher number means more secure but it takes longer to compute.
  • Lifetime: lifetime means how long does the IKE phase 1 tunnel stand up? The shorter the lifetime means the more secure it is because rebuilding the tunnel means we will also use new keying material. Each the vendor uses a different lifetime; a default value is 86400 seconds (1 day).
  • Encryption: algorithm we use for encryption DES, 3DES, or AES.


Step 2: DH Key Exchange

After completing the negotiation process, now both the peers will know what kind of policy they have to use. Now they will use the DH the group for negotiating and to exchange keying material and in the end result both peers will have a shared key.

Step 3: Authentication

in the previous step, both peers authenticate each other using authenticate method in which they agreed on in the negotiation process. Once the authentication is successful it’s mean we that both peers can send and receive on this tunnel (the tunnel is completed).

The three steps above can be completed using two different modes:

  • Main mode
  • Aggressive mode 


IKE Phase 2

IPSec tunnel or IKE phase 2 is used to protect user data. In the IKE phase 2 tunnel, there is only one mode for building the IPSec tunnel is called Quick mode.

As peers negotiate in IKE phase 1, our IKE phase 2 (IPSec) peers will be negotiated.

  • IPsec Protocol: AH or ESP
  • Encapsulation Mode: transport or tunnel mode.
  • Encryption: what encryption algorithm  DES, 3DES, or AES.
  • Authentication: what authentication algorithm is MD5 or SHA.
  • Lifetime: how long is the IKE phase 2 tunnel valid? When the tunnel is about to expire, we will refresh the keying material.

(Optional) DH exchange: used for PFS (Perfect Forward Secrecy).

IPsec Protocols

AH, and ESP is the two protocols that we use to protect user data. Both of them can be used in transport or tunnel mode, let’s see all the possible options.

Authentication Header Protocol     

AH offers authentication and integrity which is good but it doesn’t provide any encryption. AH protects IP packet by calculating a hash value over almost all fields in the IP header. The fields it excludes are the ones that can be changed in transit (TTL and header checksum).

Transport Mode

Transport mode is very simple, it just adds an AH header just after the IP header. Here’s an example of an IP packet that carries some TCP traffic:



Tunnel Mode

In tunnel mode, we add a new IP header on top of the original IP packet. So this could be useful when you are using private IP addresses and you need to tunnel your traffic over the Internet. Yes we can use AH but it doesn’t provide encryption


In simple words, IPsec uses three main protocols to create a security framework

  • ESP Encapsulation security payload is used for providing encryption, authentication, and sharing data.
  • AH, Authentication Header use provides a framework for authentication and sharing data.
  • IKE Internet Key Exchange offers a framework for negotiating security parameters and establishing authenticating keys. 







Let's take a look at our topology: 

Goal:
  • configure a site-to-site VPN 
  • configure IPSec VPN on router 1 and router 2
  • enable IKE policy on both the routers
  • verify site-to-site IPSec VPN
  • Test IPSec VPN.
  • configure an authentication type pre-shared keys
  • use AES 256 encryption, SHA Hash algorithm, and DH group 3 key exchange 
    • configure lifetime of one hour

    What is IPSec (Internet protocol security)? What is Internet Key Exchange IKE? How to configure IPSec tunnel?

    Internetworks

    (Internet Protocol Security) IPSec is a set of protocols developed by the internet engineering Task Force (IETF). Internet protocol security (IPsec)  is a framework that helps us to protect our IP traffic on the network layer. Why? Because the ( internet protocol) IP protocol itself doesn’t have any security features at all. IPsec allows two or more hosts to communicate in a secure manner by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session.




    IPsec can protect our traffic with the following features:

    • Confidentiality: by encrypting your data, nobody can read except the sender and the receiver will be able to read your data. This means that the contents are not visible to third parties 
    • Integrity: we want to make sure that no one can make changes to the data in our packets. No one can modify the data (Hashing algorithms) By calculating a hash value, the sender and receiver will be able to check if changes have been made to the packet.
    • Authentication: the sender and receiver will authenticate each other to make sure that we are really talking with the device we intend to.
    • Anti-replay: even if a packet is encrypted and authenticated, an attacker could try to capture these packets and send them again. By using sequence numbers, IPsec will not transmit any duplicate packets. This means ensuring packets are received only once a security service where the receiver can reject old or duplicate packets in order to defeat replay attacks.




    We can use IPSec on many different devices; we can use it on routers, firewalls, hosts, and servers. IPSec is a bit complex and there are a lot of different ways to implement on.

    We need to understand and build the IPSec tunnel before we protect any IP packets. For establishing an IPSec tunnel we have a protocol called Internet Key Exchange (IKE).

    We have two phases for building an IPSec tunnel:

    1. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) phase 1
    2. Internet Key Exchange (IKE) phase 2

    In Internet Key Exchange (IKE)  phase 1, two peers are going to negotiate about the encryption, authentication, hashing values and other protocols parameters that are required, which means providing a framework for negotiation of security parameters and  Establishment of authenticated keys.



     In this phase, an Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) session is established. This is also called the ISAKMP tunnel or IKE phase 1 tunnel. all the parameters that the two devices will use are called SA (Security Association). 

    We establish Internet Key Exchange IKE Phase 1 tunnel for traffic management, this tunnel is a method of secure establishing the second tunnel or Phase 2 in other words IPsec tunnel.


    now we have IPsec tunnel and we can sent through IKE Phase 2 tunnel or IPSec tunnel but IKE doesn't authenticate our data or encrypt our used data so we use other protocols which will help us authenticate and encrypt our data.

    • Authenticate Header (AH)
    • Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)

    both protocols give us authentication and integrity but ESP is todays protocol because its supports encryption. these two protocols AH and ESP offer two different modes:

    • Transparent mode- in this mode we use the original IP header.
    • Tunnel mode- in this mode we use a new IP header. 


    Five steps of IPSec are as follow:-

    Initiation we need something to start our tunnel. let's take the example of a router when we configure IPSec, the router uses an access-list for what data must be protect,ed and when our router get something that matches our assess-list, the router will start the Internet Key Exchange IKE process or we can manually initiate our tunnel.

     Internet Key Exchange IKE phase 1: First we negotiate a security association to build the IKE phase 1 tunnel (ISAKMP tunnel).

     Internet Key Exchange IKEphase 2: second within the IKE phase 1 tunnel, we will build the IKE phase 2 tunnel or IPSec tunnel.

    Data transfer: we use IKE phase 2 tunnel or IPSec tunnel for sending our user data.

    Termination: IPSec tunnel will terminate when there is no user data to protect.

    { In the next section we take a closer look at all the components}
