Remote Access VPN (IPsec) - IOS - radius (ACS)

Two posts earlier I mentioned about another way how to control traffic in the VPN tunnel – a downloadable access list. This way is the most flexible because we can define different policies per user or group. The static control, I implemented together with isakmp and ipsec policies, allow on only one access list. Today I add a radius server to the existing configuration you can find here.
I start with a new aaa configuration:

!
radius-server host 192.168.202.151 key cisco123!
!
aaa authentication login USERS group radius
aaa authorization network AUTH-LIST group radius
!

On ACS I need to add a Network Device:

Next I need to add a new user – ezvpn:

ra-ipsec3-2.jpg

My ezVPN configuration:

!
crypto isakmp policy 1
 encr aes
 authentication pre-share
 group 2
crypto isakmp client configuration address-pool local POOL
!
crypto isakmp client configuration group ezvpn
 key cisco
 pool POOL
 acl 101
crypto isakmp profile ISAKMP-PRF
   match identity group ezvpn
   client authentication list USERS
   isakmp authorization list AUTH-LIST
   client configuration address respond
   client configuration group ezvpn
   virtual-template 1
!
!
crypto ipsec transform-set TS esp-aes 256 esp-sha-hmac
 mode tunnel
!
crypto ipsec profile IPSEC-PRF
 set transform-set TS
 set reverse-route tag 1
 set isakmp-profile ISAKMP-PRF

Now I need to add a few radius attributes:

ra-ipsec3-3.jpg

Once my Authorization Profile (ezvpn) is completed:

ra-ipsec3-4.jpg

I need to add it to the new Access Policy:

ra-ipsec3-5.jpg

Ok, I can test it now:

And as you see everything works fine. Let’s check how looks like the communication with the radius server:

I tested my settings without some radius attributes and below ones are mandatory:

ra-ipsec3-7.jpg

As you see all radius attributes are sent correctly and the tunnel is working fine as before with local settings. If you need different policy for another user you can add next Authorization Policy with for example different access list.
