Howto NetAsq

Introduction

This guide provides information that can be used to configure a NETASQ UTM running firmware version 8.0.0.2 (tested also with 7.0.5) to support IPsec VPN client connectivity. The Shrew Soft VPN Client has been reported to inter-operate correctly with NETASQ UTM devices.

Overview

The configuration example described below will allow an IPsec VPN client to communicate with a remote private network but this NETASQ UTM does not support modcfg (ike push/pull) fonctionnality

Gateway Configuration

This example assumes you have knowledge of the NETASQ GUI configuration interface. For more information, please consult your NETASQ product documentation.

Interfaces

Two network interfaces are configured. The WAN interface has a static public IP address which faces the internet. The LAN interface has a static private IP address of 192.168.254.254 which faces the internal private network.

Configuring VPN Rules

Using the NETASQ GUI, navigate to the VPN => IPSec Tunnels configuration area.

Select a slot and click to Edit

A wizard is launch

Define the parameters

• Name of tunnel = Shrew
• Template = Good Encryption

Define the parameters

• Tunnel Type = Dynamic (Pre-Shared Key)
• Enable Advanced Mode

Define the parameters

• Local Firewall = Firewall_in
• Select VPN Peer = Any

Define the parameters

• LOCAL hosts/networks = Network_in
• REMOTE hosts/networks = Any

Define the parameters

• Phase 1 negotiation mode = Aggressive mode
• Identity type = user@FQDN (E-mail)
• Identity : netasq@shrew.net

Click in Pre-Shared Key Configuration

Add a key

• Key Name = Shrew
• Type = user@FQDN (E-mail)
• Peer identity = client@shrew.net
• Pre-Shared Key = mysharedsecret

[ Configuring Filtering Rules ]

Navigate to the Policy => Filering

The Firewall Rules is not Automatically create

The first 4 are required

• Rule 1 : Allow the ISAKMP Protocol
• Rule 2 : Allow the ISAKMP-T Protocol
• Rule 3 : Allow the ESP Protocol
• Rule 4 : Allow the traffic for IPsec Tunnel to Internal Networks

Client Configuration

The client configuration in this example is straight forward. Open the Access Manager application and create a new site configuration. Configure the settings listed below in the following tabs.

General Tab

The Remote Host section must be configured. This Host Name or IP Address is defined as your public WAN IP to match the NETASQ WAN interface address.

Set the Address Method to Use a existing adapter and current address

Name Resolution Tabb

Disable WINS Disable DNS

Authentication Tab

The client authentication settings must be configured. The Authentication Method is defined as Mutual PSK.

Local Identity Tab

The Local Identity parameters are defined as User Fully Qualified Domain Name with a UFQDN String of "client@shrew.net" to match the NETASQ UTM Policy definition.

Remote Identity Tab

The Remote Identity parameters are defined as User Fully Qualified Domain Name with a UFQDN String of "netasq@shrew.net" to match the NETASQ UTM Policy definition.

Credentials Tab

The Credentials Pre Shared Key is defined as "mypresharedkey" to match the NETASQ UTM Policy definition.

Phase 1 Tab

The Proposal section must be configured. The Exchange Type is set to aggressive and the Key Life Time Limit is set to 21600 (secs) to match the NETASQ UTM Policy definition.

Phase 2 Tab

The Proposal section must be configured. The PFS Exchange is set to group 2 to match the NETASQ UTM Policy definition.

Policy Tab

The IPsec Policy information must be manually configured when communicating with NETASQ UTM. Create an include Topology entry for each IPsec Policy network created on the NETASQ UTM. For our example, a single Topology Entry is defined to include the 192.168.254.0/24 network.

Known Issues
