EdgeOS GRE/IPsec config example

This is an example configuration derived from the config used on a peering router in AS64746. It was created using EdgeOS version 1.5.0alpha1 on an EdgeRouter Lite.

Features

• Zone-based firewall
• BGP prefix filtering and route summarization
• GRE/IPsec tunnel in transport mode with "plainrsa" public key authentication
• TCP MSS clamping to avoid fragmentation

Setup

This configuration assumes that both peers have static public IPs.

You'll need to generate a public/private keypair for your router if you intend to use "plainrsa" authentication for your IPsec connections. The local public key listed in the output is what you'll send to your peer.

ryan@edge1:~$ generate vpn rsa-key bits 4096
ryan@edge1:~$ show vpn ike rsa-keys

Local public key (/config/ipsec.d/rsa-keys/localhost.key):

If your peer sends you a key in PEM format (starts with -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----), you'll need to convert it to the format used by EdgeOS (begins with 0s) in order to insert it into the configuration. See this forum post for a script to convert between the two key formats.
