Release Notes for Cisco 7000 Family for Cisco IOS Release 12.1 T
78-10811-05
New and Changed Information
Wildcard Pre-Shared Key Enhancement
Platforms: Cisco 7100 series, Cisco 7200 series, and Cisco 7500 series routers
A wildcard pre-shared key allows a group of remote users with the same level of authentication to share
an IKE pre-shared key. The remote peer pre-shared key must match the local peer pre-shared key for
IKE authentication to occur. The term “wildcard” means that any remote peer with the pre-shared key
can access the local peer, regardless of the remote peer IP address assignment. The term “pre-shared
key” is a shared secret key exchanged during IKE negotiation.
A wildcard pre-shared key is usually distributed through a secure out-of-band channel. In a remote
peer-to-local-peer scenario, any remote peer with the IKE pre-shared key configured can establish IKE
security associations with the local peer.
The Wildcard Pre-shared Key feature is an enhancement to the crypto isakmp key global configuration
command. With a wildcard IP address of 0.0.0.0 and pre-shared key authentication method configured
on the local router, the local router can authenticate the IKE security associations with any remote peer
that has a matching wildcard pre-shared key.
