DMVPN Phase 3

DMVPN Phase 3

The Shortcut Switching Enhancements for NHRP in DMVPN Phase 3 provides a more scalable alternative to the previous NHRP model. Routers in a Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) Phase 3 network use Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) Shortcut Switching to discover shorter paths to a destination network after receiving an NHRP redirect message from the hub. This allows the routers to communicate directly with each other without the need for an intermediate hop.

Benefits of DMVPN Phase 3 Design:

  • Allows summarization of routing protocol updates from hub to spokes. The spokes no longer need to have an individual route with an IP next-hop of the tunnel IP address of the remote spoke for the networks behind all the other spokes. The spokes can use summarized routes or specific routes with an IP next-hop of the tunnel IP address of the hub and still be able to build spoke-to-spoke tunnels.
  • Allows for hierarchical (greater than one level) and more complex tree-based DMVPN network topologies. Tree-based topologies allow the capability to build DMVPN networks with regional hubs that are spokes of central hubs. This architecture
    allows the regional hub to handle the data and NHRP control traffic for its regional spokes, but still allows spoke-to-spoke tunnels to be built between any spokes within the DMVPN network, whether they are in the same region or not. This architecture also allows the DMVPN network layout to more closely match regional or hierarchical data flow patterns.

Here is the network topology for DMVPN phase 3 discussion and configuration.

The DMVPN Phase 2 design requires to maintain full routing table on all spoke routers.  Each route for remote spoke networks needs to be a specific route with the next hop pointing to the remote spoke’s tunnel address. This prevents the hub from being able to send down a summarized route to the spokes for a more concise routing table.

Phase 3 overcomes this restriction using NHRP traffic indication messages from the hub to signal to the spokes that a better path exists to reach the target network. This functionality is enabled by configuring ip nhrp redirect on the hub and ip nhrp shortcut on the spokes. The redirect command tells the hub to send the NHRP traffic indication message while the shortcut command tells the spokes to accept the redirect and install the shortcut route.

Following events occur for NHRP shortcut switching:

When the traffic between Spokes R2 & R3 arrives at Hub-R1 router, it will send redirect message (due to "ip nhrp redirect") to spokes to tell them, as both of you are DMVPN spokes and there would be a better path if you can build a direct spoke-to-spoke tunnel.

=> Hub-R1 sends NHRP redirect to Spoke-R2

DMVPN Phase 3 configuration with OSPF
  • Tunnel mode mGRE on Hub and Spoke routers
  • OSPF network type would be point-to-multipoint on Hub and Spoke Routers
  • Route summarization is not feasible in single OSPF area, this is one of the main reason that OSPF is not an ideal routing protocol for DMVPN phase 3 designs
  • Shortcut route is marked with “%” symbol which indicates next-hop override feature. It means router is not using next-hop IP from OSPF RIB entry, instead it is using DMVPN tunnel IP of remote spoke to route traffic over direct DMVPN tunnel.

DMVPN Phase 3 configuration with BGP
  • Hub and Spoke routers are using mGRE tunnels
  • Hub router(s) act as route-reflector server(s)
  • Spoke routers are route-reflector clients
  • Hub router can send summary route to Spoke routers
  • eBGP can also be used by configuring Hub and Spokes in different ASNs. Here we are using iBGP with route-reflector

DMVPN Phase 2

Phase 2 – Spoke to Spoke Design

DMVPN Phase 2 design introduced the ability for dynamic spoke-to-spoke tunnels without having the traffic go through the hub. Phase 2 improved on Phase 1 by allowing spokes to build a spoke-to-spoke tunnel on demand with these restrictions:

  • Spokes must use mGRE (Multipoint GRE) tunnels
  • Spokes must receive specific routes for all remote spoke subnets
  • The next hop of the entry in the routing table must list the remote spoke as the next hop

Check these links for

Here is the network topology for DMVPN phase 2 discussion and configuration.

DMVPN Phase 2 configuration with EIGRP

EIGRP Split Horizon Rule – The split horizon rule prohibits a router from advertising a route through an interface that the router itself uses to reach the destination. In DMVPN, Hub router learn route(s) from one spoke via Tunnel0 interface and have to advertise it to other spoke via same Tunnel0 interface. Thus, in order for DMVPN to work in Phase 2 with EIGRP, split horizon must be disabled on the tunnel interface using the “no ip split-horizon eigrp <asn>” command.

Next-hop self in EIGRP – The next hop for all of the routes must point to the remote spoke. This is the key to triggering the generation of a spoke-to-spoke tunnel. To instruct EIGRP to use the received next hop rather than itself, use the “no ip next-hop-self eigrp <asn>” command.

This causes R2(Spoke) to send a resolution request to R1(Hub) for Spoke-R3’s NBMA address. The request gets forwarded from R1(Hub) to Spoke-R3. Spoke-R3 replies directly to Spoke-R2 with its mapping information. During this process, R2(Spoke) will send the actual data packet to R1(Hub) to be delivered to R3(Spoke) as a last-ditch effort to not drop the traffic. The first traceroute will look as below, the traffic traverse via hub.

  • Configure Hub router as DR. If there is 2nd hub for redundancy, 2nd hub will be BDR.
  • Configure Spokes routers with ospf priority as ZERO so that they should not participate in DR election and always act as DROTHER.
  • All spoke routers will have OSPF adjacencies with DR and BDR only.

DMVPN Phase 2 configuration with BGP
  • Hub router would be BGP Route-Reflector server
  • Spoke routers would be BGP Route-Reflector clients
  • All tunnels would be mGRE
  • You can use eBGP also, where Hub and Spoke routers could be configured in different autonomous system number (ASN). Here we will use iBGP only.

DMVPN Phase 2 deployment provides direct spoke-to-spoke tunnels, but one of the limitations is maintaining full routing tables on the spokes. Each route for remote spoke networks needs to be a specific route with the next hop pointing to the remote spoke’s tunnel address. This prevents the hub from being able to send down a summarized route to the spokes for a more concise routing table. This limitation is addressed in DMVPN Phase 3 design, which we will discuss later.

DMVPN Phase 1

DMVPN Phase 1 – Hub to Spoke Design

DMVPN Phase 1 provides Hub and Spoke tunnel deployment. It means GRE tunnels are only built between Hub and Spokes. There is no spoke-to-spoke tunnel. Traffic from one spoke site to another spoke site always traverse via hub.

Check this link for DMVPN basics – http://www.amolak.net/dmvpn-basics/

We will discuss DMVPN Phase 1 configuration with:

  • EIGRP
  • OSPF
  • BGP

Here is the network topology for our discussion and configuration.

DMVPN NBMA Network Behavior

DMVPN creates Non Broadcast Multi Access (NBMA) networks. By default, NBMA network do not support multicast traffic and multicast traffic is required to enable dynamic routing protocols.

ip nhrp map multicast dynamic command is used under hub router tunnel interface to enable support of multicast traffic. This allows each spoke to register as a receiver of multicast traffic, causing the hub to replicate and forward multicast traffic to the spoke routers.

“ip nhrp map multicast <hub nbma ip>” command is used under spoke routers tunnel interface. It ensures multicast traffic is sent only from spokes to the hub and not from spoke to spoke.

With this set up, routing adjacencies are only formed between hub and spokes. Spokes do not form routing adjacencies with each other.

ip nhrp network-id

The NHRP network ID is used to define the NHRP domain for an NHRP interface and differentiate between multiple NHRP domains or networks, when two or more NHRP domains (GRE tunnel interfaces) are available on the same NHRP router. The NHRP network ID is used to help keep two NHRP networks (clouds) separate from each other when both are configured on the same router. NHRP network IDs are locally significant and can be different.

DMVPN Phase 1 configuration with EIGRP
----------
R1 - Hub:
----------

Since all spoke routers are configured with tunnel mode GRE (p2p GRE), they can send traffic via Hub only. So spoke routers do not require specific routes of each other. Hub router would advertise a single EIGRP summary route to all spoke routers. Basically Hub router is telling spokes if you want to reach any specific subnet from this summary route, send that traffic to me, I will forward it to actual destination spoke site.

DMVPN Phase 1 configuration with BGP
- "bgp listen range ....." command can be used to define a range of IP address of BGP neighbors on hub router
- "bgp listen limit xx" command can be used to set the limit of dynamic BGP neighbors
- Hub router would act as BGP Route-reflector server
- Spoke routers would be BGP route-reflector clients
- As spokes would communicate via hub only, it is inefficient to advertise all specific prefixes to spoke BGP peers
- Hub Router would advertise summary route to spokes

As we have seen that spoke-to-spoke traffic always traverse via hub in phase 1 design. In a large network, It increases overhead on hub router. Also spokes has to use sub-optimal routing path for traffic between spoke sites. The shortcomings of DMVPN phase 1 are addressed in Phase 2 design, which we will discuss in next blog.

BGP Outbound Route Filtering – ORF

When a customer connects a CE router to provider PE router for BGP peering, there are limited options for what routes a CE can receive from PE via BGP. Usually Service provider give the customer option of sending Full BGP table, just a default route, or some specific prefix such as default route + service provider’s locally originated prefix. Normally service provider do not want to implement complex outbound route filter policy for the customer. And customer implement a inbound route filter policy to receive prefix whatever they required.

From administrative point of view service provider is happy as they don’t have to worry about the change request coming from customer to add or remove the prefix in provider to customer advertisements.

Similarly, customer don’t have to submit a change request to service provider and can modify inbound filter policy as per their requirements.

But from a resources usage point of view this is not a optimal design. Provider router is still sending full bgp table (around 500k prefix) and customer router also process all of the BGP updates and ultimately just wanted to accept a few prefixes (sometime 1-2%) and deny all others.

Here, BGP Outbound Route Filtering capability plays a significant role to optimize this design without increasing the administrative overhead for service provider to make frequent changes for filtering prefix advertisements to the customer.

With BGP ORF capability, CE router tells dynamically PE Routers what outbound filter PE should use to advertise prefix to the CE.

Let’s configure this feature and see how it works. We will use following network topology for this discussion.

Here is the initial BGP configuration and status on both routers:

it appears our requirement is fulfilled but there is something not optimal behind the scene. Let’s debug the BGP advertisements.

Total number of prefixes 6
We can see before accepting the required 3 prefixes in BGP table, CE router has processed all received prefixes from PE and denied the prefixes which are not permitted in the inbound prefix-list applied for neighbor 1.1.1.2 on CE router. Just imagine the resources usage if it was the actual full bgp table of 500K prefixes.

BGP Default Route

We will discuss the different ways to advertise a default route in BGP. We will use following network topology for the same.

bgp-default-route

1. default-information originate

A default route can be injected into BGP with the command ‘default-information originate’. Following conditions must be fulfilled to use this method.

– A default route must be in the local routing table.
– The default route must be redistributed into the BGP
– Add ‘default-information originate’ under router bgp <ASN>

Here is the initial configuration and BGP status on all routers.

R1

R2

R3

R4

Let’s first try to add a static default route and redistribute it into BGP on R1.

R1 is not yet advertising default route into BGP. It shows that simply redistributing a default route into BGP would not help. Let’s add a ‘default-information originate’ under BGP.

2. network 0.0.0.0

A default route can be injected into BGP with configuration of ‘network 0.0.0.0’ under BGP if a default route is available in the local routing table of a router.

Following conditions must be fulfilled to use this method.

– A default route must be in the local routing table.
– Add ‘network 0.0.0.0’ under router bgp <ASN>

Let’s remove previously configured ‘default-information originate’ and ‘redistribute static’ commands and use ‘network 0.0.0.0’.

3. neighbor x.x.x.x default-originate

If you want to advertise default route to a specific peer, this is the method for that requirement.

– Add ‘neighbor x.x.x.x default-originate’ under router bgp <ASN>
– It does not even check for the existence of a default route in the IP routing table
– The ‘default-information originate’ command should not be configured with the ‘neighbor x.x.x.x default-originate’ command on the same router

Let’s remove previously configured commands.

R1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
R1(config)#no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Null0
R1(config)#router bgp 100
