Web: Example for Establishing an IPSec 6over4 Tunnel Based on Physical Interfaces Between Two Gateways

This section provides an example for establishing an IPSec 6over4 tunnel based on physical interfaces between two gateways with fixed IP addresses.

Networking Requirements

As shown in Figure 1, two IPv6 networks connect to an IPv4 public network respectively through FW_A and FW_B. Security protection is desired for mutual access traffic between the IPv6 networks. The IPv6 networks communicate with each other over the IPv4 public network. An IPSec 6over4 tunnel needs to be established between FW_A and FW_B so that users on the IPv6 networks can communicate with each other over the IPSec tunnel.

Configuration Roadmap

  1. Enable the IPv6 function.
  2. Set IP addresses for interfaces and add the interfaces to security zones.
  3. Configure an IPSec policy.

    Including the basic IPSec policy information, data flow to be protected by IPSec, and proposal parameters for security association negotiation.

  4. Configure routes.

    Including the public network route between FW_A and FW_B and the private network route from FW_A or FW_B to its respective peer network.

  5. Configure security policies to permit IPSec negotiation packets and service packets.

The configuration roadmap is the same on FW_A and FW_B.

Procedure

  • Configure FW_A.
    1. Choose Dashboard > Device Information and click Configure of IPv6 to enable the IPv6 function.

    2. Set interface IP addresses and assign interfaces to security zones.

      1. Choose Network > Interface.

      2. Click of GE0/0/1 and set the parameters as follows:

        Set the IPv4 address to 1.1.3.1/24 and IPv6 address to 1::1:1/120.

      3. Click OK.

      4. Repeat the preceding steps to set the parameters for GE0/0/3.

    3. Configure the IPSec tunnel on FW_A.

      1. Choose Network > IPSec > IPSec, click Add, and set the parameters shown in the following figure.

        In the example, the default parameter settings are recommended for the IPSec proposal. To change parameter values, expand the Advanced settings of IKE/IPSec Proposal. The security proposals used by the tunnel ends must be the same. The pre-shared key is Hello123.

        Configure one data flow to be encrypted. The parameter settings are provided in the following figure.

        The local-untrust interzone policy controls whether IKE negotiation packets can pass through the FW. This policy can use the source and destination addresses, protocol, or port as the matching condition. In this example, the source and destination addresses are used as the matching condition. To use the protocol or port as the matching condition, you need to enable ESP and port 500 for UDP.

      2. Click Apply in the IPSec policy configuration to complete the configuration of FW_A.

    4. Configure a default route. In the example, the next-hop IP address to the Internet is 1.1.3.2.

      1. Choose Network > Route > Static Route.

      2. Click Add and set parameters as follows to configure two routes.

    5. Configure security policies to permit IPSec negotiation packets and service packets.
