Today's daily lab
Included with a subscription.
Subscribe to unlockThe branch has moved to IKEv2 and its side of the tunnel is ready. Build HQ's IKEv2 proposal, policy, keyring and profile and bring the tunnel back up.
Learning objectives
- Build an IKEv2 proposal and policy that match the branch
- Store the pre-shared key in a keyring and bind it with a profile
- Protect the tunnel interface with an IKEv2 IPsec profile
Troubleshooting focus
- No IKEv2 SA: the proposal does not match the branch's
- Authentication fails: check the keyring address and key

How this lab is graded
- Build it your way. Where a lab lets you choose a value — a VLAN name, an interface description — grading checks that you configured it, not which name you picked. Names that another line has to reference, like an ACL applied with
access-class, are stated in the guide and do have to match. - Addresses, modes and protocol keywords are exact. An IP address, a subnet mask,
switchport mode trunk, an encapsulation — these carry the meaning of the lab, so they are graded as written in the guide. - Grading reads your saved configuration. Export the lab from CML after you have configured it, and make sure anything you set is in the
running-config— a change that only exists in a terminal session never reaches the grader. - You can submit as many times as you like. Your best score stands, and each attempt tells you which checks passed so you can work the gaps.
- Scored something you believe is correct? Use Report an issue on this page — that is exactly how the grading fixes in the changelog got found.
