DMVPN Overview: Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) is the increasing demands of enterprise companies to be able to connect branch offices with head offices and between each other while keeping low costs, minimizing configuration complexity and increasing flexibility.[bodyads] With DMVPN, one central router, usually placed at the head office, undertakes the role of the Hub while all other branch routers are Spokes that connect to the Hub router so the branch offices can access the company’s resources. DMVPN consists of two mainly deployment designs: DMVPN Hub & Spoke, used to perform headquarters-to-branch interconnections DMVPN Spoke-to-Spoke, used to perform branch-to-branch interconnections In …

Dynamic Multipoint VPN DMVPN Architecture: There is a number of different ways an engineer can implement a DMVPN network. The fact that there is a variety of DMVPN Architecture models, each one with its caveats and requirements, means that almost any VPN requirement can be met as long as we have the correct hardware, software license and knowledge to implement it. [boxads] Speaking of implementation, no matter how complex the DMVPN network might get, it’s pretty straight forward once it’s broken down into sections. Engineers already working with complex DMVPNs can appreciate this and see the simplicity in configuration they …

DMVPN Configuration: DMVPN stands for Dynamic Multipoint VPN and it is an effective solution for dynamic secure overlay networks. In short, DMVPN Configuration is combination of the following technologies: [boxads] 1) Multipoint GRE (mGRE) 2) Next-Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) 4) Dynamic Routing Protocol (EIGRP, RIP, OSPF, BGP) 3) Dynamic IPsec encryption 5) Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) Assuming that reader has a general understanding of what DMVPN is and a solid understanding of IPsec/CEF, we are going to describe the role and function of each component in details. In this post we are going to illustrate two major phases of DMVPN …

BGP Attributes Categories BGP Attributes Categories are 1) WELL-KNOWN, MANDATORY , 2) WELL-KNOWN, DISCRETIONARY, 3) OPTIONAL, TRANSITIVE, 4) OPTIONAL, NON-TRANSITIVE. details are: [boxads] WELL-KNOWN, MANDATORY AS-path: A list of the Autonomous Systems (AS) numbers that a route passes through to reach the destination. As the update passes through an AS the AS number is inserted at the beginning of the list. The AS-path attribute has a reverse-order list of AS passed through to get to the destination. Next-hop: The next-hop address that is used to reach the destination. Origin: Indicates how BGP learned a particular route. There are three possible …

BGP Routing Protocol Overview Hi ! Today i will discuss about BGP Routing Protocol Overview. BGP is an Border gateway protocol, BGP mainly use for connect between different networks. It is the protocol used between Internet service providers (ISPs) and also can be used between an Enterprise and an ISP. BGP was built for reliability, scalability, and control. [boxads] BGP stands for Border Gateway Protocol. Routers running BGP are termed BGP speakers. BGP uses the concept of autonomous systems (AS). An autonomous system is a group of networks under a common administration. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigns AS …

OSPF Load Balancing: [boxads] Today I will show how to configure OSPF load balancing, If we follow bellow example we see a client is connected through two WAN connections with two broadband routers that both are use for Internet routing. We will enable and disable OSPF load balancing packets that are sourcing from the HOST to the WEB SERVER. Following the diagram: Now lets go our OSPF Load Balancing Configuration part……….. Router R1: R1# R1#conf t R1(config)#ip cef R1(config)#int loopback 0 R1(config-if)#ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255 R1(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-point R1(config-if)#exit
