APPLICATION NOTE - Branch Office Connectivity Guide
Figure 14: Type C – HA configuration
Branch office Type C uses OSPF to advertise loopback interfaces used to terminate the IPsec tunnels. The NSRP
that is monitoring the interfaces facing the trust and guest zones (as well as the interfaces connecting to the Juniper
Networks J Series Services Routers) determines the status of this loopback interface. The loopback interfaces
terminating the tunnels are the VSIs that are part of Virtual Security Device (VSD) group 1. Whichever device has
this VSI active—SSG Series (A) or SSG Series (B)—propagates the VSI addresses to the J Series routers using OSPF.
Similarly, the J Series (B) router injects a default route into OSPF, while the J Series (A) router injects a route to the
PTP network that also uses OSPF. Figure 15 illustrates this process.
