25: Dynamic Multipoint Virtual Private Network (DMVPN)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Figure 73: Network diagram for DMVPN spoke to spoke
• Spoke1 and Spoke2 connect on their WAN interface: ADSL, 3G and initiate
main mode IPSec in transport mode to the hub.
• After an IPSec tunnel is established, spokes register their NHRP
membership with the hub.
• GRE tunnels come up.
• Hub cache the GRE tunnel and real IP addresses of each spoke.
• When Spoke1 wants to talk to Spoke2, it sends an NHRP Resolution
Request to the hub.
• The hub checks its cache table and forwards that request to Spoke2.
• Spoke2 caches Spoke1’s GRE and real IP address and sends an NHRP
Resolution Reply via the hub.
• Spoke1 receives an NHRP resolution reply and updates its NHRP table with
Spoke2 information. Then it initiates VPN IPsec connection to Spoke2.
• When an IPsec tunnel is established, Spoke1 and Spoke2 can send traffic
directly to each other.
Scenario 2: Spoke1 is in a private (NAT-ed) network, Spoke2 and hub are in
public network
