Creating Site‐to‐Site VPNs with Pre‐Shared Keys @ Cisco Router

Documentation:

     1. Document your IKE Phase 1 negotiation criteria (example below)
         • Hashing: SHA‐1
          • Authentication: pre‐shared
          • Key exchange: Diffie‐Hellman Group 2

     2. Document your IPSec (IKE Phase 2) negotiation criteria (example below)
          • Encryption algorithm: esp‐aes 128
          • Authentication: esp‐sha‐hmac

Configuring IKE Phase 1:
     1. Enable ISAKMP
          • Router(config)#crypto isakmp enable
     2. Create ISAKMP Policy : Router(config)#crypto isakmp policy <1-10000>
          • Router(config)#crypto isakmp policy 100
          • Router(config-isakmp)#encryption aes 128
          • Router(config-isakmp)#authentication pre-share
          • Router(config-isakmp)#group 2
          • Router(config-isakmp)#hash sha
          • Router(config-isakmp)#exit
     3. Configure ISAKMP Identity: Router(config)#crypto isakmp identity <address/hostname>
          • Router(config)#crypto isakmp identity address
     4. Configure ISAKMP Key: Router(config)#crypto isakmp key 0 <Pre-Shared-Key> address <remote IP address>
          • Router(config)#crypto isakmp key 0 SUPERSECRETKEY address 1.1.1.2

Configuring IKE Phase 2:
     1. Create transform sets: Router(config)#crypto ipsec transform-set <name> <methods>
          • Router(config)#crypto ipsec transform-set SET-NAME esp-aes128 esp-sha-hmac
          • Router(cfg-crypto-trans)#mode tunnel
          • Router(cfg-crypto-trans)#exit
     2. (optional) Configure IPSec lifetime : Router(config)#crypto ipsec securityassociation lifetime <seconds/kilobytes> <value>
          • Router(config)#crypto ipsec security-association lifetime seconds 86400
     3. Create mirrored ACLs defining traffic to be encrypted and the traffic expected to be received encrypted. Router(config)#ip access-list extended           <name>,
Router(config)#permit ip <source network | wildcard> <destination network | wildcard>
          • Router(config)#ip access-list extended S2S-VPN-TRAFFIC
          • Router(config-ext-nacl)#permit ip 172.30.2.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
          • Router(config-ext-nacl)#exit
     4. Set up IPSec crypto‐map : Router(config)#crypto map <name> <seq> ipseciskmp
          • Router(config)#crypto map S2S-VPN 100 ipsec-isakmp
               o Router(config-crypto-map)#match address S2S-VPNTRAFFIC
               o Router(config-crypto-map)#set peer 1.1.1.2 <remote IP>
               o Router(config-crypto-map)#set pfs group2 <group1/2/5optional>
               o Router(config-crypto-map)#set transform-set SET-NAME<set>

Apply to Interface:
     1. Apply crypto‐map to interface
          • Router(config)#int fa4
          • Router(config-int)#crypto map S2S-VPN


Create Interesting Traffic:
     1. Ping from source network to destination network.

Verify:
     2. Show and debug commands (QM_IDLE is good)
          • Router#show crypto isakmp sa
          • Router#show crypto ipsec sa
          • Router#debug crypto isakmp
          • Router#debug crypto ipsec
          • Router#show crypto map
          • Router#show crypto isakmp policy
          • Router#show crypto ipsec transform-set
          • Router#clear crypto sa

Certificaciones de Microsoft

Microsoft divide en varios grupos tanto las certificaciones, charlas y cursos de capacitación, como así también el contenido técnico en sus diversos portales (technet, blogs, forums, etc.)


Estos grupos, según el site de certificaciones oficial, son:



Microsoft Office

Server and Windows Technologies

Developer tools and applications

Windows client

Microsoft Dynamics

Security and other solutions

De las certificaciones que nos ocuparemos en este post es de las dos más comunes que se desprenden del grupo Server and Windows Technologies:



MCITP (Microsoft Certified IT Professional): Server Administrator (antes llamada MCSA: Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator)

MCITP (Microsoft Certified IT Professional): Enterprise Administrator (antes llamada MCSE: Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer)

Cabe aclarar, que desde hace algún tiempo, cada examen nos otorga una certificación como especialista en la tecnología específica que rendimos, éstas certificaciones se llaman Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS).

Podemos consultar todas las certificaciones MCTS acá.

Ahora bien, en lo que uno generalmente se confunde es en los números y nombres de los cursos, exámenes, certificaciones y libros. Veamos:

Uno puede certificarse sin hacer ningún curso. Para esto, debe registrarse en www.prometric.com y sacar un turno en alguno de los Centros Autorizados que Prometric nos indica en nuestra zona.

Hasta acá todo bárbaro, ahora aclaremos qué exámenes son necesarios para obtener las dos certificaciones enumeradas arriba (MCITP: SA y MCITP: EA).



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Para MCITP: SA:



Examen 70-640 (Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring)

Examen 70-642 (Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring)

Examen 70-646 (Windows Server 2008, Server Administrator)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Para MCITP: EA:



Examen 70-640 (Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring)

Examen 70-642 (Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring)

Examen 70-643 (Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring)

Examen 70-647 (Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administrator)

más sólo uno de los siguientes:



Examen 70-620 (Configuring Microsoft Windows Vista Client)

Examen 70-680 (Windows 7, Configuring)

Examen 70-681 (Windows 7 and Office 2010, Deploying)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahora que ya entendimos qué exámenes tenemos que rendir para obtener las certificaciones profesionales, expliquemos qué son las MCTS (Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist).

Como comentamos más arriba, estas certificaciones las obtenemos con cada examen que rendimos (no con todos, solo los que Microsoft indica como TS).

Veamos qué certificaciones obtenemos con cada uno de los exámenes necesarios para las dos carreras que estamos viendo:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Para MCITP: SA:



Examen Certificación obtenida

70-640 MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration

70-642 MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring

70-646 Ninguna.





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Para MCITP: EA:



Examen Certificación obtenida

70-640 MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration

70-642 MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring

70-643 MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring

70-647 Ninguna.

70-620 MCTS: Configuring Microsoft Windows Vista Client

70-680 MCTS: Windows 7, Configuring

70-681 MCTS: Windows 7 and Office 2010, Deploying





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Es decir, que si rendimos los exámenes necesarios para convertirnos en MCITP: Server Administrator, obtenemos 3 certificaciones:



MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration

MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring

MCITP: SA

y para MCITP: Enterprise Administrator obtenemos 5 certificaciones:

MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuration

MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Network Infrastructure, Configuring

MCTS: Windows Server 2008 Applications Infrastructure, Configuring

MCITP: EA

Una de éstas:

MCTS: Configuring Microsoft Windows Vista Client

MCTS: Windows 7, Configuring

MCTS: Windows 7 and Office 2010, Deploying



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bien, sigamos. Vamos ahora con los cursos. Éstos se denominan Microsoft Official Course (MOC).

Generalmente uno se inclina a realizar los cursos para luego rendir los exámenes y obtener las ansiadas certificaciones y se encuentra con que los cursos sirven para varias certificaciones, que un examen abarca el temario de más de un curso y que los cursos también tienen nomenclatura numerada!

Para esto, vamos a ver también claramente qué cursos comprenden cada examen (y por transitividad, cuáles para cada certificación).



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Para MCITP: SA:



Examen Cursos que contiene

70-640 MOC 6425 - Configuring and Troubleshooting Windows Server® 2008 Active Directory Domain Services.

70-680 MOC 6292 - Installing and Configuring Windows 7 Client

70-681 No hay cursos por el momento





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Algo que también pueden notar en la numeración de los cursos es que terminan con diferentes letras, éstas indican el “ciclo de vida” de los cursos, es decir que el MOC 6420AK tiene material más nuevo y corregido que el MOC 6420A.

Espero que este post sirva para dar un poco de luz a algo que en principio nos espanta con tantos números y caminos posibles.
