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):

See [this forum post](http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/ERL-lt-gt-Mikrotik-IPsec-Connections/m-p/534682#M13015) for a script to convert between the two key formats.
