Secure Network Administrationintermediate
Arrange the following firewall configuration steps in order of strict object dependency when setting up a site-to-site IPsec VPN, from first to last: Create an IKE Gateway, Create the IPsec Tunnel, Commit the configuration, Create an IKE Crypto profile.
Answer
Create an IKE Crypto profile, Create an IKE Gateway, Create an IPsec Tunnel, Commit the configuration
Explanation
### The order
1. **Create the tunnel interface**: Later routing and the IPsec tunnel refer to this interface.
2. **Add the remote-LAN static route**: It directs remote-network traffic through the interface.
3. **Inspect the default cryptographic profiles**: The lab asks you to review them before using the default profile in the tunnel configuration.
4. **Create the IKE gateway**: The IPsec tunnel configuration needs a gateway to select.
5. **Create the IPsec tunnel**: It associates the tunnel interface, gateway, and IPsec profile.
6. **Commit the configuration**: The firewall applies the configured changes after the objects have been created.
### The concept
This sequence follows the dependencies given in the lab. In particular, the IPsec tunnel references both an existing tunnel interface and an IKE gateway. A commit applies the candidate configuration so the configured tunnel can be tested.
### Terms
- **IKE**: Internet Key Exchange. Negotiates VPN security associations.
- **IPsec**: Internet Protocol Security. Protects IP traffic.
- **LAN**: Local Area Network. A local site network.
### Remember
Create referenced objects before creating the IPsec tunnel that uses them.
