DMVPN (Dynamic Multipoint VPN) Introduced by Cisco in late
2000 is a routing technology you can use to build a VPN network with
multiple sites (spokes) without having to statically configure all devices.
It’s a “hub and spoke” network, where the spokes will, can communicate with
each other directly without having to go through the hub. Encryption is
supported through IPsec which makes DMVPN a popular choice for connecting
different sites using regular Internet connections. It’s a great backup or
alternative to private networks like MPLS VPN.
As we already discussed Phase 1 is Not used nowadays, in phase 1 uses
NHRP so that spokes can register themselves with the hub (NHRP is needed for
spokes to register with the hub). The hub is the only router that is using a
multipoint GRE (mGRE) interface, all spokes will be using regular
point-to-point GRE tunnel interfaces. No spokes hub and spokes topology where dynamic IP addresses on the spokes may be used. All your traffic goes
through the hub. This means that there will be no direct
spoke-to-spoke communication; all traffic has to go through the hub.
So, our traffic has to go through the hub, and our routing
configuration will be quite simple. Spoke routers only need a summary or
default route to the hub to reach other spoke routers.
In DMVPN Phase 2 hub and spokes are configured as multipoint GRE and spoke-to-spokes tunnels are created, NHRP is required for spokes to register to Hub, and NHRP is also required for spoke-to-spoke resolution.
let's see the configuration: -
Topology: -
Goal:
- configure the topology as per the diagram
- assign the IP addresses to their port as per the
topology
- configure static routing on router 2
- configure default routing on router 1 3 4
- configure DMVPN Phase 2 on routers 1, 3 and 4
- configure router 1 Hub and router 3 and 4 should be
spokes routers
- configure tunnel interfaces 192.168.10.0/24
- configure NHRP using Stating mapping.
