Here is probably the most basic example of IKEv2 Site-to-Site (LAN-to-LAN) VPN between two routers called BRANCH-A and R5:
| BRANCH-A | R5 |
ip access-list extended VPN permit ip host 1.1.1.1 host 2.2.2.2crypto ikev2 profile VPN-TO-R5 match identity remote address 172.16.198.35 255.255.255.255 identity local address 192.168.231.6 authentication remote pre-share key R5-PSK authentication local pre-share key Branch-A-PSKcrypto map VPN-CM 10 ipsec-isakmp set peer 172.16.198.35 set ikev2-profile VPN-TO-R5 match address VPN
|
ip access-list extended VPN permit ip host 2.2.2.2 host 1.1.1.1crypto ikev2 profile VPN-TO-BRANCH-A match identity remote address 192.168.231.6 255.255.255.255 identity local address 172.16.198.35 authentication remote pre-share key Branch-A-PSK authentication local pre-share key R5-PSKcrypto map VPN-CM 10 ipsec-isakmp set peer 192.168.231.6 set ikev2-profile VPN-TO-BRANCH-A match address VPN
|
The routing part is omitted. 192.168.231.6 and 172.16.198.35 should be mutually reachable.
IKEv2 Profile
Here you have to specify three things:
The remote peer identity to match the profile, so that when you get message from the peer that presents this identity this particular IKEv2 profile gets applied. For this case I use the peer IP address as an identity:
crypto ikev2 profile VPN-TO-R5
match identity remote address 172.16.198.35 255.255.255.255
Your own identity (how you present yourself to remote peer):
identity local address 192.168.231.6
Authentication methods (in my case along with authentication data): these are methods that you are able to perform and methods you expect the remote peer to perform. Note that authentication in IKEv2 is asymmetric by default. You may authenticate your remote peer using one method while the remote peer authenticas you with another one. For this case I used pre-shared keys both ways and specified the keys:
authentication remote pre-share key R5-PSK
authentication local pre-share key Branch-A-PSK
Crypto Map
Here you have to set up the remote peer IP Address:
crypto map VPN-CM 10 ipsec-isakmp
set peer 172.16.198.35
The IKEv2 profile:
set ikev2-profile VPN-TO-R5
and an ACL to select interesting traffic:
match address VPN
Verifying
With the following debugs enabled on both routers:
debug crypto ikev2
debug crypto ipsec
Trying to generate interesting traffic:

Summary
IKEv2 has much clearer message exchange (and thus debugs output) than IKEv1.
Also, notice that there is no need to carefully configure all the IKE and IPSec parameters as we used to do in IKEv1. This is due to Cisco implementation of IKEv2 that implies the use of some default parameters, for example debug says:
*May 5 19:00:36.346: IKEv2:Using the Default Policy for Proposal
*May 5 19:00:36.346: IKEv2:Found Policy 'default'
And you can actually see this “default” IKEv2 policy and its parameters:
BRANCH-A#show crypto ikev2 policy
IKEv2 policy : default
Match fvrf : any
Match address local : any
Proposal : default
BRANCH-A#show crypto ikev2 proposal
IKEv2 proposal: default
Encryption : AES-CBC-256 AES-CBC-192 AES-CBC-128
Integrity : SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA96 MD596
PRF : SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA1 MD5
DH Group : DH_GROUP_1536_MODP/Group 5 DH_GROUP_1024_MODP/Group 2
Same thing with IPSec transform set:
BRANCH-A#show crypto ipsec transform-set
Transform set default: { esp-aes esp-sha-hmac }
will negotiate = { Transport, }
This simplifies configuration significantly.
