To make the examples easier to configure docker it is required to pull strongSwan docker image. The networking is done using Linux' veth interfaces and namespaces.
First a topology:
192.168.3.2 192.168.5.2
+ loopback
| +
+----+----+ 192.168.10.2 +-----+----+
| VPP | |initiator |
|responder+----------------------+strongSwan|
+---------+ +----------+
192.168.10.1
Create veth interfaces and namespaces and configure them:
sudo ip link add gw type veth peer name swanif
sudo ip link set dev gw up
sudo ip netns add ns
sudo ip link add veth_priv type veth peer name priv
sudo ip link set dev priv up
sudo ip link set dev veth_priv up netns ns
sudo ip netns exec ns \
bash -c "
ip link set dev lo up
ip addr add 192.168.3.2/24 dev veth_priv
ip route add 192.168.5.0/24 via 192.168.3.1"
Create directory with strongswan configs that will be mounted to the docker container
mkdir /tmp/sswan
Create the ipsec.conf file in the /tmp/sswan directory with following content:
config setup strictcrlpolicy=no conn initiator mobike=no auto=add type=tunnel keyexchange=ikev2 ike=aes256gcm16-prfsha256-modp2048! esp=aes256gcm16-esn! # local: leftauth=psk leftid=@roadwarrior.vpn.example.com leftsubnet=192.168.5.0/24 # remote: (vpp gateway) rightid=@vpp.home right=192.168.10.2 rightauth=psk rightsubnet=192.168.3.0/24
/tmp/sswan/ipsec.secrets
: PSK 'Vpp123'
/tmp/sswan/strongswan.conf
charon {
load_modular = yes
plugins {
include strongswan.d/charon/*.conf
}
filelog {
/tmp/charon.log {
time_format = %b %e %T
ike_name = yes
append = no
default = 2
flush_line = yes
}
}
}
include strongswan.d/*.conf
Start docker container with strongSwan:
docker run --name sswan -d --privileged --rm --net=none \ -v /tmp/sswan:/conf -v /tmp/sswan:/etc/ipsec.d philplckthun/strongswan
Finish configuration of initiator's private network:
pid=$(docker inspect --format "{{.State.Pid}}" sswan)
sudo ip link set netns $pid dev swanif
sudo nsenter -t $pid -n ip addr add 192.168.10.1/24 dev swanif
sudo nsenter -t $pid -n ip link set dev swanif up
sudo nsenter -t $pid -n ip addr add 192.168.5.2/32 dev lo
sudo nsenter -t $pid -n ip link set dev lo up
Start VPP ...
sudo /usr/bin/vpp unix { \
cli-listen /tmp/vpp.sock \
gid $(id -g) } \
api-segment { prefix vpp } \
plugins { plugin dpdk_plugin.so { disable } }
... and configure it:
create host-interface name gw set interface ip addr host-gw 192.168.10.2/24 set interface state host-gw up create host-interface name priv set interface ip addr host-priv 192.168.3.1/24 set interface state host-priv up ikev2 profile add pr1 ikev2 profile set pr1 auth shared-key-mic string Vpp123 ikev2 profile set pr1 id local fqdn vpp.home ikev2 profile set pr1 id remote fqdn roadwarrior.vpn.example.com ikev2 profile set pr1 traffic-selector local ip-range 192.168.3.0 - 192.168.3.255 port-range 0 - 65535 protocol 0 ikev2 profile set pr1 traffic-selector remote ip-range 192.168.5.0 - 192.168.5.255 port-range 0 - 65535 protocol 0 create ipip tunnel src 192.168.10.2 dst 192.168.10.1 ikev2 profile set pr1 tunnel ipip0 ip route add 192.168.5.0/24 via 192.168.10.1 ipip0 set interface unnumbered ipip0 use host-gw
Initiate the IKEv2 connection:
$ sudo docker exec sswan ipsec up initiator
...

Now we can generate some traffic between responder's and initiator's private networks and see it works.
