Introduction
This document describes how to configure a redundant site-to-site (LAN-to-LAN) IPSec IKE Version 1 (IKEv1) VPN using Virtual Tunnel Interface (VTI) between two Cisco ASA. ASA VPN module was enhanced with this logical interface in version 9.7(1) and is used to create a VPN tunnel to a peer, supports route based VPN using profiles attached to VTI interfaces. More details can be found on Release Notes for ASA software 9.7(1).
Objective
Traffic between HQ and DR should pass across primary IPSec tunnel using ISP A. In the case the link through ISP A fails, traffic between sites should failover to the secondary link (ISP B) using backup tunnel.
Components used:
- Cisco ASAv version 9.7(1);
- vPC
Configuration
This article is using network topology shown bellow:
HQ ASA Configuration
First, we have to add IPSec configuration for Phase 1 and 2:
crypto ikev1 enable primary
crypto ikev1 enable backup
!
crypto ikev1 policy 10
authentication pre-share
encryption aes
hash sha
group 2
lifetime 86400
!
crypto ipsec ikev1 transform-set SET1 esp-aes esp-sha-hmac
!
crypto ipsec profile PROFILE1
set ikev1 transform-set SET1
set pfs group2
!
tunnel-group 20.20.20.1 type ipsec-l2l
tunnel-group 20.20.20.1 ipsec-attributes
ikev1 pre-shared-key cisco123
isakmp keepalive threshold 10 retry 10
!
tunnel-group 40.40.40.1 type ipsec-l2l
tunnel-group 40.40.40.1 ipsec-attributes
ikev1 pre-shared-key cisco123
isakmp keepalive threshold 10 retry 10for VTI interfaces configuration we are using a new feature introduced in version 9.7(1), 31-bit Subnet Mask (“For routed interfaces, you can configure an IP address on a 31-bit subnet for point-to-point connections.”, more information on Release Notes):

!
track 1 rtr 1 reachabilitythen, add routes to destination networks/addresses:

route backup_vti 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.4 5

route backup 40.40.40.1 255.255.255.255 30.30.30.2 1DR ASA Configuration
For DR ASA configuration is similar to HQ ASA, only ip addresses are changed:
crypto ikev1 enable primary
