Anyconnect SSL-Client VPN with Self-signed Certificate on Cisco ASA

The Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Solution provides a comprehensive, highly secure enterprise mobility solution. the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Solution continues to lead with next-generation security and encryption, including support for the Suite B set of cryptographic algorithms, and support for IPv6 networks. More importantly, it adapts its tunneling protocol to the most efficient method.
In the present scenario, we have to configure Anyconnect SSL remote access VPN for Sales department and Engineering department of a company. Engineering users will have to be provided with access to web server as well as FTP server, while sales users may only have access to the web server.



Anyconnect client authenticates the VPN gateway by it's Identity Certificate, so now we'll generate crypto rsa key to be used in enrolling for Self-Signed Identity Certificate followed by certificate enrollment.

crypto key generate rsa label VPNKeyPair
!
crypto ca trustpoint LocalTrust
enrollment self
fqdn ravpn.pacificgroup.co.in
subject-name CN=ravpn.pacificgroup.co.in
keypair VPNKeyPair
crypto ca enroll LocalTrust noconfirm

Copy Anyconnect client image to the security appliance, which will enable the remote users to download and install the Anyconnect client software to their system when they connect to VPN Gateway from their web browsers.
copy tftp://192.168.100.10/anyconnect-win-3.1.04059-k9.pkg flash:



And now we will do the rest of the configuration required for Anyconnect SSL VPN.

Now the remote users will be able to connect to the VPN . Remote users have to open the URL https://172.31.10.1 from their web-browsers to download and install the Anyconnect client software from the VPN gateway. Remote users will see the below screen when they will connect to VPN Gateway from their web browsers.





To Verify the connected users, use the following command.


ciscoasa# sh vpn-sessiondb anyconnect

Ansible-Playbook to display output of multiple show commands (using stdout_lines with Loop)

 In this playbook, we we'll see how we can get display of multiple show commands in stdout_lines format. We can make use of loops (or with_items) for submitting multiple commands, but debug output with stdout_lines does not gives the formatted result as it would give for single command. So in case of multiple commands, we can debug the output of each command separately in stdout_lines format.

Filtering Routes in BGP using Route-maps and Prefix-list

Image
Order of preference of attributes in BGP The order of preference varies based on whether the attributes are applied for inbound updates or outbound updates. For inbound updates the order of preference is:     route-map     filter-list     prefix-list, distribute-list For outbound updates the order of preference is:     prefix-list, distribute-list     filter-list     route-map NOTE: The attributes prefix-list and distribute-list are mutually exclusive, and only one command (neighbor distribute-list or neighbor prefix-list) can be applied to each inbound or outbound direction for a particular neighbor. Scenario: We own the AS500 and advertising a network block of 192.0.2.0/24 and 180.179.179.0/16 to two different ISPs. Objectives: Configure router R1 to establish eBGP neighbor relationship with ISP1. Configure router R1 to establish eBGP neighbor relationship with ISP2. Advertise  192.0.2.0/24 ...
