Config example for ipsec vpn with iPad native vpn client

The iPad native vpn client supports ikev2. I have searched many documents in the internet and most of them are example for site-to-site, very few useful documentation about remote access vpn with ipsec using ikev2 perhaps for remote access ssl vpn is more convenient and popular.

So here’s the sample config. The config use certificate to authenticate the phase 1 and 2 tunnels, eap is not used in this configuration, also over in iPad local id is left blank hence in ASA need to disable peer-id check.

If during connection ASA syslog says something like EAP message is null then you need to turn on the debug to find out what’s wrong. iPad native vpn client does support EAP, and EAP is the default.

In the iPad native vpn client, the remote id is the fqdn of the ASA vpn server you want to connect to. The fqdn is based on the certificate that is enable in the ASA vpn server.

Need to use the default tunnel group provided by Cisco, because the native vpn client does not send group information.

In this example configuration there are site to site vpn within the crypto map, this is to give you an insight on which remote access sequence number you should use for ipsec remote access. The site to site and remote access can both co-exist in the crypto map.

A few debug commands that are useful:
debug crypto ikev2 protocol 127
debug crypto ikev2 platform 127
debug crypto connection peer 1.1.1.1
where 1.1.1.1 is your peer’s ip address.
