MikroTik router to CISCO PIX Firewall IPSEC

How to interconnect two networks with IPSec between Mikrotik ROS and Cisco PIX
This example shows how to interconnect remote offices uses IPSec VPN between Mikrotik RouterOS device and Cisco PIX Firewall or Cisco Router, running Cisco IOS. Also I show you how to provide Internet access for network using masquerade/PAT on Mikrotik RouterOS, Cisco PIX Firewall and Cisco Router, running Cisco IOS. Network topology is shown below. We would like to interconnect networks 172.22.1.1/24 and 172.22.2.1/24 using corresponding public addresses 1.0.0.2 and 2.0.0.2. Assume 1.0.0.1 is default gateway for router, running Mikrotik RouterOS and 2.0.0.1 is default gateway for router running Cisco IOS or Cisco PIX Firewall, running Cisco PIX OS. This configuration tested and works well with Mikrotik RouterOS 3.20, Cisco IOS 12.4(21) and 12.3(26) advanced security features set with encryption and PIX OS 6.3(5).
Configuration of router running Mikrotik RouterOS
This configuration is simple and very similar to official 3.0 ipsec manual page
Mikrotik Router
Add addresses on interfaces
[admin@Mikrotik] > ip address add \ address=1.0.0.2/30 broadcast=1.0.0.3 disabled=no \ interface=public network=1.0.0.0 [admin@Mikrotik] > ip address add \ address=172.22.1.1/24 broadcast=172.22.1.255 disabled=no \ interface=inside network=172.22.1.0
Add ip routes
[admin@Mikrotik] > ip route add \ disabled=no distance=1 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 gateway=1.0.0.1 \ scope=30 target-scope=10
Add accept and masquerading rules in SRC-NAT
[admin@Mikrotik] > ip firewall nat add \ chain=srcnat \ src-address=172.22.1.0/24 \ dst-address=172.22.2.0/24 action=accept [admin@Mikrotik] > ip firewall nat add \ chain=srcnat out-interface=public action=masquerade
Add peer (with phase1 configuration parameters), DES and SHA1 will be used to protect IKE traffic
for MikroTik router
[admin@MikroTik] > ip ipsec peer add \ address=2.0.0.2 secret="gvejimezyfopmekun" enc-algorithm=des
Set encryption proposal (phase2 proposal - settings that will be used to encrypt actual data) to use DES to encrypt data
for MikroTik router
[admin@MikroTik] > ip ipsec proposal set default enc-algorithms=des auth-algorithms=md5
Add policy rule that matches traffic between subnets and requires encryption with ESP in tunnel mode
for MikroTik router
[admin@MikroTik] > ip ipsec policy add \ src-address=172.22.1.0/24 \ dst-address=172.22.2.0/24 \ action=encrypt \ tunnel=yes sa-src=1.0.0.2 sa-dst=2.0.0.2
Add firewall rules to permit VPN traffic and private traffic
[admin@Mikrotik] >ip firewall add \ action=accept chain=input disabled=no protocol=ipsec-esp src-address=2.0.0.2 [admin@Mikrotik] >ip firewall add \ action=accept chain=customer disabled=no dst-address=172.22.1.0/24 \ in-interface=public out-interface=inside src-address=172.22.2.0/24
Cisco PIX Firewall configuration
I think this configuration is quiet clear because of detailed comments.
