Troubleshooting IPsec
This chapter describes how to troubleshoot IP security (IPsec) and Internet Key Exchange (IKE)
encryption in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. It includes the following sections:
•Overview, page 22-1
•Initial Troubleshooting Checklist, page 22-4
•IPsec Issues, page 22-5
Overview
The IPsec protocol is a framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity,
and data authentication between participating peers. It was developed by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF). IPsec provides security services at the IP layer, including protecting one or more data
flows between a pair of hosts, between a pair of security gateways, or between a security gateway and a
host. IPsec is supported for iSCSI and FCIP using IKE and Encapsulated Security Protocol (ESP) in
tunnel mode.
This section contains the following topics:
•IPsec Compatibility, page 22-1
•Supported IPsec and IKE Algorithms for Microsoft Windows and Linux Platforms, page 22-2
•IKE Allowed Transforms, page 22-3
•IPsec Allowed Transforms, page 22-4
IPsec Compatibility
IPsec features are compatible with the following Cisco MDS 9000 Family hardware:
•Cisco 14/2-port Multiprotocol Services (MPS-14/2) modules in Cisco MDS 9200 switches or Cisco
MDS 9500 directors
•Cisco MDS 9216i Switch with the MPS-14/2 capability in the integrated supervisor module. Refer
to the Cisco MDS 9200 Series Hardware Installation Guide for more information on the Cisco MDS
9216i Switch.
•The IPsec feature is not supported on the management interface.

Chapter 22 Troubleshooting IPsec
Overview
Note IPsec and IKE are not supported by the Cisco Fabric Switch HP c-Class BladeSystem and the Cisco
Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
IPsec features are compatible with the following fabric setup:
•Two connected Cisco MDS 9200 switches or Cisco MDS 9500 directors running Cisco MDS
SAN-OS Release 2.0(1b) or later.
•A Cisco MDS 9200 switches or Cisco MDS 9500 directors running Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release
2.0(1b) or later connected to any IPsec compliant device.
•The following features are not supported in the Cisco SAN-OS implementation of the IPsec feature:
– Authentication Header (AH).
– Transport mode.
– Security association bundling.
– Manually configuring security associations.
– Per host security association option in a crypto map.
– Security association idle timeout
– Dynamic crypto maps.
– IPv6
Note Any reference to crypto maps in this document only refers to static crypto maps.
•For IPsec to interoperate effectively with Microsoft iSCSI initiators, specify the TCP protocol and
the local iSCSI TCP port number (default 3260) in the IPv4-ACL. This configuration ensures the
speedy recovery of encrypted iSCSI sessions following disruptions such as Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces shutdowns, VRRP switchovers, and port failures. The following example of a IPv4-ACL
entry shows that the MDS switch IPv4 address is 10.10.10.50 and remote Microsoft host running
encrypted iSCSI sessions is 10.10.10.16:
switch(config)# ip access-list aclmsiscsi2 permit tcp 10.10.10.50 0.0.0.0 range port
3260 3260 10.10.10.16 0.0.0.0
Note Cisco MDS IKEv2 will not interoperate with other IKEv2 implementations.

Verifying IKE Configuration Compatibility
To verify the compatibility of the IKE configurations of MDS A and MDS C shown in Figure 22-1,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that the preshared keys are identical on each switch. Use the show crypto ike domain ipsec key
CLI command on both switches. Command outputs for the configuration shown in Figure 22-1 follow:
MDSA# show crypto ike domain ipsec key
key ctct address 10.10.100.232
MDSC# show crypto ike domain ipsec key
key ctct address 10.10.100.231
Step 2 Ensure that at least one matching policy that has the same encryption algorithm, hash algorithm, and
Diffie-Hellman (DH) group is configured on each switch. Issue the show crypto ike domain ipsec
policy command on both switches. Example command outputs for the configuration shown in Figure 22-1
follow:
MDSA# show crypto ike domain ipsec policy
Priority 1, auth pre-shared, lifetime 86300 secs, encryption 3des, hash md5, DH group 1
MDSC# show crypto ike domain ipsec policy
Priority 1, auth pre-shared, lifetime 86300 secs, encryption 3des, hash md5, DH group 1
Verifying IPsec Configuration Compatibility Using Fabric Manager
To verify the compatibility of the IPsec configurations of MDS A and MDS C shown in Figure 22-1
using Fabric manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Choose Switches > Security > IPSEC and select the CryptoMap Set Entry tab. Verify that the Peer
Address, IpFilter, Lifetime, and PFS fields match for MDS A and MDS C.
Step 2 Select the Transform Set tab and verify that the transform set on both switches match.
Step 3 Select the Interfaces tab and verify that the crypto map set is applied to the correct interface on both
switches.
Step 4 In Device Manager, choose IP > ACLs and verify that the ACLs used in the crypto map in Step 1 are
compatible on both switches.

Verifying IPsec Configuration Compatibility Using the CLI
To verify the compatibility of the IPsec configurations of MDS A and MDS C shown in Figure 22-1
using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use the show crypto map domain ipsec command and the show crypto transform-set domain ipsec
command. The following command outputs display the fields discussed in Step 2 through Step 7.

Transform set:tfs-02 {esp-3des esp-md5-hmac}
will negotiate {tunnel}
Transform set:ipsec_default_transform_set {esp-aes 128 esp-sha1-hmac}
will negotiate {tunnel}
Step 2 Ensure that the ACLs are compatible in the show crypto map domain ipsec command outputs for both
switches.
Step 3 Ensure that the peer configuration is correct in the show crypto map domain ipsec command outputs
for both switches.
Step 4 Ensure that the transform sets are compatible in the show crypto transform-set domain ipsec command
outputs for both switches.
Step 5 Ensure that the PFS settings in the show crypto map domain ipsec command outputs are configured
the same on both switches.

IPsec Issues
Step 6 Ensure that the security association (SA) lifetime settings in the show crypto map domain ipsec
command outputs are large enough to avoid excessive re-keys (the default settings ensure this).
Step 7 Ensure that the crypto map set is applied to the correct interface in the show crypto map domain ipsec
command outputs for both switches.
Verifying Security Policy Databases Compatibility
To verify that the security policy databases (SPDs) are compatible on both switches, follow these steps:
Step 1 Issue the show crypto spd domain ipsec command on both switches to display the SPD. The command
outputs follow:
MDSA# show crypto spd domain ipsec
Policy Database for interface:GigabitEthernet7/1, direction:Both
# 0: deny udp any port eq 500 any <-----------Clear test policies for IKE
# 1: deny udp any any port eq 500 <-----------Clear test policies for IKE
# 2: permit ip 10.10.100.231 255.255.255.255 10.10.100.232 255.255.255.255
# 127: deny ip any any <------------Clear test policy for all other traffic
MDSC# show crypto spd domain ipsec
Policy Database for interface:GigabitEthernet1/2, direction:Both
# 0: deny udp any port eq 500 any
# 1: deny udp any any port eq 500
# 2: permit ip 10.10.100.232 255.255.255.255 10.10.100.231 255.255.255.255
# 127: deny ip any any
Step 2 Issue the show ipsec internal crypto-accelerator interface gigabitethernet slot/port spd inbound
command on both switches to display SPD information from the crypto-accelerator.
Note To issue commands with the internal keyword, you must have an account that is a member of the
network-admin group.
The example command outputs follow:
MDSA# show ipsec internal crypto-accelerator interface gigabitethernet 7/1 spd inbound

Step 2 The SA index can be used to look at the SA in the crypto-accelerator. Issue the show ipsec internal
crypto-accelerator interface gigabitethernet slot/port sad [inbound | outbound] sa-index command
to display the inbound or outbound SA information. The hard limit bytes and soft limit bytes fields
display the lifetime in bytes. The hard limit expiry secs and the soft limit expiry secs fields display the
lifetime in seconds.
Note To issue commands with the internal keyword, you must have an account that is a member of the
network-admin group.
The command outputs follow:
MDSA# show ipsec internal crypto-accelerator interface gigabitethernet 7/1 sad inbound 1

Chapter 22 Troubleshooting IPsec
IPsec Issues
Security Associations Do Not Re-Key
A lifetime counter (in seconds and bytes) is maintained as soon as an SA is created. When the time limit
expires, the SA is no longer operational and is automatically renegotiated (re-keyed) if traffic is present.
If there is no traffic, the SA will not be re-keyed and the tunnel will go down.
The re-key operation starts when the soft lifetime expires. That happens approximately 20 to 30 seconds
before the time-based lifetime expires, or when approximately 10 to 20 percent of the bytes are
remaining in the bytes-based lifetime.
To troubleshoot this problem, follow these steps:
Step 1 Verify that traffic was flowing when the soft SA lifetime expired.
Step 2 Verify that the configurations are still compatible.
Clearing Security Associations
To clear a specific SA, obtain the SA index value and issue the clear crypto sa domain ipsec interface
gigabitethernet slot/port outbound sa-index command.
To obtain the SA index value, issue the show crypto sad domain ipsec command.
Debugging the IPsec Process
Use the following commands to print debug messages to the console:
•debug ipsec error for error messages.
•debug ipsec warning for warning messages.
•debug ipsec config for configuration messages.
•debug ipsec flow for SA related messages.
Debugging the IKE Process
Use the following commands to show the internal state of the IKE process:
•show crypto ike domain ipsec initiator
•show crypto ike domain ipsec sa
Obtaining Statistics from the IPsec Process
To obtain statistics from the IPsec process, issue the show crypto global domain ipsec command and
the show crypto global domain ipsec interface gigabitethernet slot/port command. The show crypto
global domain ipsec command output displays statistics for all SAs. Command output follows:
MDSA# show crypto global domain ipsec
IPSec global statistics:
