ScreenOS ip6in4 tunnel over transport mode ipsec?

  • 772

I have setup a point to point transport ipsec session between a ScreenOS router (SSG-5) and a Cisco 3925. The ipsec transport itself works great, but as soon as I try to direct the protocol 41 traffic over the transport, the packets don't transit properly.

I assumed at first that you would need to create a tunnel for the ipsec connection, then target the ip6in4 tunnel with outgoing-interface of the ipsec tunnel, but screenos won't let you create a tunnel on a tunnel.

Additionally, I tried using a policy-based vpn but when I attempt to use "tunnel vpn" as a policy target it tells me unknown command? Is there a master on/off switch for policy based ipsec?

Below is what I think is the pertinent configuration, though I'll be more than happy to provide more info as required.

  1. I've done tons of IPv6 on ScreenOS. Both natively and tunnels. I've done exactly what you're asking about (although, not with a Cisco at the other end). Here's what to do.

    Get rid of the 6in4 stuff. Use only one tunnel interface, and unset the proxy-id on both sides. Build the tunnel with v4 endpoints then route the remote v6 prefix as well as the remote v4 prefix to the tunnel interface.

    Update: As requested, example config.

    Notes:

    • Local v6 supernet is fd28:e1f3:d650:1000::/56
    • Remote v6 supernet is fd28:e1f3:d650:2000::/56
    • Significant v4 portions have been left out because I think you get it.

  2. I know that there is a problem in ScreenOS with routing of 6in4 traffic directly. What people usually do is to create loopback interface for terminating end of 6in4 tunnel and then route IPv6 traffic through it. I use similar configuration for my 6in4 tunnel with sixxs, but I think general principle may be applicable to your case as well. Please check this link for more info especially "Update sept 13, 2009" part.
