A router is being configured for IKEv2 AnyConnect using AnyConnect-EAP. How would the administrator separate profiles for administrators and employees so that authorization differs when they connect?

The correct answer is D. Define key-ids on the headend and create two XML profiles to match the administrator and user key-ids. When using AnyConnect-EAP with IKEv2, key-ids are the mechanism used to differentiate between connection profiles so different authorization policies can be applied per group.

Question

A router is being configured for IKEv2 AnyConnect using AnyConnect-EAP. How would the administrator separate profiles for administrators and employees so that authorization differs when they connect?

Options

  • ADefine group aliases on the headend and have the user pick the appropriate alias when they connect.
  • BDefine group-urls on the headend and create two XML profiles to match the administrator and user group urls.
  • CCreate a certificate map and match on the appropriate certificate fields.
  • DDefine key-ids on the headend and create two XML profiles to match the administrator and user key-ids.

Why each option

When using AnyConnect-EAP with IKEv2, key-ids are the mechanism used to differentiate between connection profiles so different authorization policies can be applied per group.

ADefine group aliases on the headend and have the user pick the appropriate alias when they connect.

Group aliases are a feature specific to Cisco ASA SSLVPN tunnel groups, not a supported mechanism for IKEv2 AnyConnect-EAP profile selection on IOS routers.

BDefine group-urls on the headend and create two XML profiles to match the administrator and user group urls.

Group-URLs are used in ASA clientless and AnyConnect SSLVPN configurations to select tunnel groups, and are not applicable to IKEv2-based AnyConnect deployments on IOS.

CCreate a certificate map and match on the appropriate certificate fields.

Certificate maps apply when clients authenticate with certificates; since AnyConnect-EAP is being used for authentication in this scenario, certificate fields are not available for profile matching.

DDefine key-ids on the headend and create two XML profiles to match the administrator and user key-ids.Correct

IKEv2 with AnyConnect-EAP uses key-ids as identifiers embedded in the IKEv2 IDr payload to distinguish which profile a client is using. By defining separate key-ids on the headend and creating two different AnyConnect XML profiles - each referencing the appropriate key-id - the router can apply distinct authorization policies for administrators versus employees. This is the correct method when certificate-based differentiation is not available because EAP is handling authentication.
