Firefly Perimeter – OSPF over GRE over IPsec

      3 Comments on Firefly Perimeter – OSPF over GRE over IPsec

After attending the JNCIE-SEC bootcamp last week, I saw that one topic was barely mentioned: The way of running OSPF over GRE over IPsec. Since this setup is barely used (because of various reasons) I thought, that this is post-worthy – so here you have a working config (running on Firefly 12.1X47-D35.2

 

Topology:

Config for Firefly-A:

# General Setup
set system host-name Firefly-A
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 172.16.15.1/30

# IPsec Part
set interfaces st0 unit 0 family inet address 172.16.16.1/30
set security zones security-zone VPN interfaces st0.0
set security ike proposal ike_aes_128 dh-group group5
set security ike proposal ike_aes_128 authentication-method pre-shared-keys
set security ike proposal ike_aes_128 authentication-algorithm sha1
set security ike proposal ike_aes_128 encryption-algorithm aes-128-cbc
set security ike policy ike_p1 mode main
set security ike policy ike_p1 pre-shared-key ascii-text juniperipsec123
set security ike policy ike_p1 proposals ike_aes_128
set security ike gateway Firefly_B ike-policy ike_p1
set security ike gateway Firefly_B external-interface ge-0/0/0.0
set security ike gateway Firefly_B address 172.19.15.2

set security ipsec proposal ipsec_p2 authentication-algorithm hmac-sha1-96
set security ipsec proposal ipsec_p2 encryption-algorithm aes-128-cbc
set security ipsec policy p2_ipsec proposals ipsec_p2
set security ipsec vpn VPN_To_Firefly_B ike gateway Firefly_B
set security ipsec vpn VPN_To_Firefly_B ike ipsec-policy p2_ipsec
set security ipsec vpn VPN_To_Firefly_B establish-tunnels immediately 
set security ipsec vpn VPN_To_Firefly_B bind-interface st0.0

# GRE and OSPF Part
set interfaces gr-0/0/0.0 tunnel source 172.16.16.1
set interfaces gr-0/0/0.0 tunnel destination 172.16.16.2
set interfaces gr-0/0/0.0 family inet address 172.16.16.5/30

set security zones security-zone DMZ host-inbound-traffic protocols ospf
set protocols ospf area 0 interface gr-0/0/0.0

 

Config for Firefly-B:

# General Setup
set system host-name Firefly-B
set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 172.16.15.2/30

# IPsec Part
set interfaces st0 unit 0 family inet address 172.16.16.2/30

set security ike gateway Firefly_A ike-policy ike_p1
set security ike gateway Firefly_A external-interface ge-0/0/0.0
set security ike gateway Firefly_A address 172.19.15.1
set security ipsec proposal ipsec_p2 protocol esp
set security ipsec proposal ipsec_p2 authentication-algorithm hmac-sha1-96
set security ipsec proposal ipsec_p2 encryption-algorithm aes-128-cbc
set security ipsec policy p2_ipsec proposals ipsec_p2
set security ipsec vpn VPN_To_Firefly_A ike gateway Firefly_A
set security ipsec vpn VPN_To_Firefly_A ike ipsec-policy p2_ipsec
set security ipsec vpn VPN_To_Firefly_A establish-tunnels immediately 
set security ipsec vpn VPN_To_Firefly_A bind-interface st0.0

# GRE and OSPF Part
set interfaces gr-0/0/0.0 tunnel source 172.16.16.2
set interfaces gr-0/0/0.0 tunnel destination 172.16.16.1
set interfaces gr-0/0/0.0 family inet address 172.16.16.6/30
set security zones security-zone DMZ interfaces gr-0/0/0.0 host-inbound-traffic system-services ping
set security zones security-zone DMZ host-inbound-traffic protocols ospf
set protocols ospf area 0 interface gr-0/0/0.0

Hope, that this helps you if you ever have to do this or need to learn this…
Remember – this is just a sample – please use stringer ciphers if possible 😉

The JNCIE-Exam is getting closer and closer…

    Hi
    Can you please,elaborate which interfaces have ips 172.16.19.x which are mentioned in vpn configs

    Thanks

      You mean 172.16.16.x?
      Depends – the first usable subnet (/30) is the st0-Interface and the next usable is the gre-Interface.
