Preface
Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) present systems that are based on common use cases or engineering priorities.
CVDs incorporate a broad set of technologies, features, and applications that address customer needs. Cisco
engineers have comprehensively tested and documented each design in order to ensure faster, more reliable,
and fully predictable deployment.

CVDs include two guide types that provide tested design details:
• Technology design guides provide deployment details, information about validated products and
software, and best practices for specific types of technology.
• Solution design guides integrate existing CVDs but also include product features and functionality
across Cisco products and sometimes include information about third-party integration.

Both CVD types provide a tested starting point for Cisco partners or customers to begin designing and deploying
systems.

CVD Foundation Series

This CVD Foundation guide is a part of the August 2014 Series. As Cisco develops a CVD Foundation series,
the guides themselves are tested together, in the same network lab. This approach assures that the guides in a
series are fully compatible with one another. Each series describes a lab-validated, complete system.

The CVD Foundation series incorporates wired and wireless LAN, WAN, data center, security, and network
management technologies. Using the CVD Foundation simplifies system integration, allowing you to select
solutions that solve an organization’s problems—without worrying about the technical complexity.

site users to access the Internet directly and securely, without having to route their traffic to the primary site.
Additionally, this guide helps organizations connect remote sites over public cloud Internet services and secure
communications between sites.

Technology Use Cases

For remote-site users to effectively support the business, organizations require that the WAN provide sufficient
performance and reliability.

Although many of the applications and services that the remote-site worker uses are centrally located, there
are benefits in providing local Internet access at each remote site location. Offloading Internet browsing and
providing direct access to public cloud service providers can greatly reduce traffic on the private WAN, saving
costs and improving overall survivability. Leveraging the cloud in the remote office can greatly increase
performance and the overall cloud experience.

 Use Case: Secure Site-to-Site WAN Communications Using Internet Services
This guide helps organizations connect remote sites over public cloud Internet services and secure
communications between sites.

This design guide enables the following network capabilities:

• Secure, encrypted communications for Internet-based WAN solutions for up to 500 locations by using a
hub-and-spoke tunnel overlay configuration
• Deployment as a secondary connectivity solution for resiliency, providing backup to private MPLS WAN
service by using single or dual routers in remote locations
• Support for IP Multicast, replication performed on core, and hub-site routers
• Compatibility with public cloud solutions where Network Address Translation (NAT) is implemented
• Best-effort quality of service for WAN traffic such as voice over IP (VOIP) and business applications

Use Case: Local Internet Access from Remote Site

Remote-site users directly access the Internet for cloud-based applications and user web access without having
to route their traffic to the primary site.

This design guide enables the following network capabilities:

• Offload Internet traffic from primary MPLS WAN or Layer 2 WAN link
• More efficient use of Internet link by using it for user web traffic as well as for DMVPN backup
• Deployment of Cisco IOS security services for remote user and applications leveraging Zone-Based
Firewall (ZBFW), NAT, and other network security features
• Resilient routing of user Internet traffic that uses local Internet and can reroute to access the Internet
through the primary site during local Internet failure conditions
• Quality of service (QoS) for WAN traffic such as VoIP and business critical applications

Design Overview
This guide provides a design that enables highly available, secure, and optimized connectivity for multiple
remote-site LANs.

The WAN is the networking infrastructure that provides an IP-based interconnection between remote sites that
are separated by large geographic distances.

This guide shows you how to deploy the network foundation and services to enable the following:
• VPN WAN connectivity for up to 500 remote sites
• Primary and secondary links to provide redundant topology options for resiliency
• Secure local Internet access from remote sites
• Data privacy via encryption
• Wired LAN access at all remote sites

While the Internet is quickly becoming a more stable platform with better price to performance and improved
reliability, it still falls short of meeting standards for many businesses. With Cisco WAN services, IT has the
security and application services to deliver the highest levels of resiliency and reliability.

Introduction August 2014 Series

 VPN WAN is an essential component of the Cisco Intelligent WAN (IWAN). Cisco IWAN delivers an
uncompromised user experience over any connection, allowing an organization to right-size their network with
operational simplicity and lower costs.

Remote-Site Design
The remote-site design provides the remote office with local Internet access solutions for web browsing and
cloud services. This is referred to as the local Internet model. With the local Internet model, user web traffic and
hosted cloud services traffic are permitted to use the local Internet link in a split-tunneling manner. In this model,
a default route is generated locally connecting each remote site directly to the Internet provider. Private WAN
connections using DMVPN over Internet, MPLS, or Layer 2 (L2) WAN provide internal routes to the data center
and campus. In some configurations, backup Internet routing is provided over the private WAN connections.

This guide documents secure local Internet-enabled WAN remote-site designs based upon various combinations
of IP WAN transports mapped to site-specific requirements around service levels and resiliency.

The primary focus of the design is to allow usage of the following commonly deployed remote-site WAN
configurations with local Internet access:
• Single router remote site with Internet and DMVPN WAN connectivity
• Single or dual router remote site with MPLS WAN and local Internet using DMVPN for backup
• Single or dual router remote site with both L2 WAN and local Internet using DMVPN for backup
• Single or dual router remote site with dual-Internet DMVPN for primary and backup connectivity

 Reader Tip

The choice to use local Internet is locally significant to the remote site. No changes are
required to the primary site.

The remote-site designs documented in this guide can be deployed in parallel with
other remote-site designs that use centralized Internet access.

This guide does not address the primary aggregation site design and configuration
details. This solution is tested and evaluated to work with the design models and
WAN-aggregation site configurations as outlined in the MPLS WAN Technology Design
Guide, Layer 2 WAN Technology Design Guide, and VPN WAN Technology Design
Guide.

High Availability
The majority of remote sites are designed with a single-router WAN edge; however, certain remote-site types
require a dual-router WAN edge. Dual-router candidate sites include regional office or remote campus locations
with large user populations, or sites with business critical needs that justify additional redundancy to remove
single points of failure.

In many cases, the network must tolerate single failure conditions, including the failure of any single WAN
transport link or any single network device at the primary remote site.
• Remote sites classified as single router, dual link must provide Internet failover to the in the event of local
Internet link failure. MPLS WAN and L2 WAN configurations will failover to the central Internet model.
• Remote sites classified as dual router, dual link must provide Internet failover in the event of local Internet
link or router failure. MPLS WAN and L2 WAN configurations will failover to the central Internet model.
Dual Internet configurations will provide redundancy for local Internet connectivity.

 The modular nature of the network design enables you to create design elements that you can replicate
throughout the network. All of these WAN remote-site designs are standard building blocks in the overall design,
providing a consistent deployment method and an easy way to scale the network.

Ethernet WAN
Ethernet has traditionally been a LAN technology primarily due to the distance limitations of the available media
and the requirement for dedicated copper or fiber links. Ethernet is becoming a dominant carrier handoff in
many markets and it is relevant to include Ethernet as the primary media in the tested architectures. Much of the
discussion in this guide can also be applied to non-Ethernet media (such as T1/E1, DS-3, OC-3, and so on), but
they are not explicitly discussed.

Private MPLS WAN Transport

Cisco IOS Software Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) enables enterprises and service providers to build
next-generation, intelligent networks that deliver a wide variety of advanced, value-added services over a single
infrastructure. You can integrate this economical solution seamlessly over any existing infrastructure, such as IP,
Frame Relay, ATM, or Ethernet.

MPLS Layer 3 VPNs use a peer-to-peer VPN Model that leverages the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) in order
to distribute VPN-related information. This peer-to-peer model allows enterprise subscribers to outsource
routing information to service providers, which can result in significant cost savings and a reduction in operational
complexity for enterprises.

Reader Tip

For more information, see the MPLS WAN Technology Design Guide.

Layer 2 WAN transports are now widely available from service providers and are able to extend various Layer 2
traffic types (Frame Relay, PPP, ATM, or Ethernet) over a WAN. The most common implementations of Layer 2
WAN are used to provide Ethernet over the WAN using either a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint service.

Service providers implement these Ethernet services by using a variety of methods. MPLS networks support
both Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) and Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS). You can use other network
technologies, such as Ethernet switches in various topologies, to provide Ethernet Layer 2 WAN services.

Reader Tip

For more information, see the Layer 2 WAN Technology Design Guide.

GET VPN
Many organizations require encryption for data traversing private networks, such as an MPLS service. This
ensures data is secure in transit through the service provider network. The use of encryption should not limit the
performance or availability of a remote-site application, and should be transparent to end users.

GET VPN is a tunnel-less VPN technology based on the IETF standard (RFC 3547). The technology provides
end-to-end data encryption for network infrastructure while maintaining any-to-any communication between
sites. You can deploy it across various WAN core transports, such as IP or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
networks. GET VPN leverages the Group Domain of Interpretation (GDOI) protocol in order to create a secure
communication domain among network devices.

Introduction August 2014 Series

 The benefits of GET VPN include the following:
• Highly scalable VPN technology that provides an any-to-any meshed topology without the need for
complex peer-to-peer security associations
• Low latency and jitter communication with direct traffic between sites
• Centralized encryption policy and membership management with the key servers (KSs)
• Simplified network design due to leveraging of native routing infrastructure (no overlay routing protocol
needed)
• Efficient bandwidth utilization by supporting multicast-enabled network core
• Network intelligence such as native routing path, network topology, and QoS

Reader Tip

This guide does not cover the in-depth configuration details for GET VPN. For more
information about GET VPN, see the GET VPN Technology Design Guide.

Public Internet as WAN Transport

The WAN uses the Internet for VPN site-to-site connections as both a primary WAN transport and as a backup
WAN transport (to a primary VPN site-to-site connection).

The Internet is essentially a large-scale public WAN composed of multiple interconnected service providers.
The Internet can provide reliable high-performance connectivity between various locations, although it lacks any
explicit guarantees for these connections. Despite its best effort nature, the Internet is a sensible choice for a
primary transport when it is not feasible to connect with another transport option. Additional resiliency is provided
by using the Internet as an alternate transport option.

Internet connections are typically included in discussions relevant to the Internet edge, specifically for the primary
site. Remote site routers commonly have Internet connections that can be used for local web browsing, cloud
services, and private WAN transport. For security, Internet access at remote is maintained by using integrated
security features such as Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall (ZBFW). All remote-site traffic must be encrypted
when transported over public IP networks such as the Internet.

Reader Tip

For more information, see the VPN WAN Technology Design Guide.

DMVPN
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) is a solution for building scalable site-to-site VPNs that support a variety of
applications. DMVPN is widely used for encrypted site-to-site connectivity over public or private IP networks and
can be implemented on all WAN routers used in this design guide.

DMVPN is used for the encryption solution for the Internet transport because it supports on-demand full mesh
connectivity with a simple hub-and-spoke configuration and a zero-touch hub deployment model for adding
remote sites.

DMVPN also supports spoke routers that have dynamically assigned IP addresses and are configured with
Network Address Translation (NAT). It is common for firewalls to be configured between the DMVPN routers and
the Internet. In many cases, designs also require NAT configurations in conjunction with DMVPN.

Introduction August 2014 Series

9
 DMVPN makes use of multipoint generic routing encapsulation (mGRE) tunnels to interconnect the hub to all
of the spoke routers. These mGRE tunnels are also sometimes referred to as DMVPN clouds in this context.
This technology combination supports unicast, multicast, and broadcast IP, including the ability to run routing
protocols within the tunnels.

Reader Tip

This guide does not cover the configuration details for the DMVPN hub routers. For
information about DMVPN, see the VPN WAN Technology Design Guide.

Routing Protocols
EIGRP
Cisco chose Enhanced Interior Gateway Protocol (EIGRP) as the primary routing protocol because it is easy to
configure, does not require a large amount of planning, has flexible summarization and filtering, and can scale to
large networks. As networks grow, the number of IP prefixes or routes in the routing tables grows as well. You
should program IP summarization on links where logical boundaries exist, such as distribution layer links to the
wide area or to a core. By performing IP summarization, you can reduce the amount of bandwidth, processor,
and memory necessary to carry large route tables, and reduce convergence time associated with a link failure.

With the advances in EIGRP, this guide uses EIGRP named mode. The use of EIGRP named mode allows related
EIGRP configurations to be centrally located in the configuration. EIGRP named mode includes features such
as wide metrics, which support larger multi-gigabit links. For added security, EIGRP neighbor authentication has
been implemented in order to prevent unauthorized neighbor associations.

Tech Tip

In the EIGRP named mode configuration, EIGRP wide metric support is on by default
and backward compatible with existing routes.

BGP
Cisco chose BGP as the routing protocol for provider edge (PE) and customer edge (CE) routers to connect
to the MPLS VPNs because it is consistently supported across virtually all MPLS carriers. In this role, BGP
is straightforward to configure and requires little or no maintenance. BGP scales well and you can use it to
advertise IP aggregate addresses for remote sites.

To use BGP, you must select an Autonomous System Number (ASN). This design uses a private ASN (65511) as
designated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The private ASN range is 64512 to 65534.

IP Multicast
IP Multicast allows a single IP data stream to be replicated by the infrastructure (routers and switches) and sent
from a single source to multiple receivers. IP Multicast is much more efficient than multiple individual unicast
streams or a broadcast stream that would propagate everywhere. IP telephony Music On Hold (MOH) and IP
video broadcast streaming are two examples of IP Multicast applications.

To receive a particular IP Multicast data stream, end hosts must join a multicast group by sending an Internet
Group Management Protocol (IGMP) message to their local multicast router. In a traditional IP Multicast design,
the local router consults another router in the network that is acting as a rendezvous point (RP) to map the
receivers to active sources so that they can join their streams.

Introduction August 2014 Series

10
 The RP is a control-plane operation that should be placed in the core of the network or close to the IP Multicast
sources on a pair of Layer 3 switches or routers. IP Multicast routing begins at the distribution layer if the access
layer is Layer 2 and provides connectivity to the IP Multicast RP. In designs without a core layer, the distribution
layer performs the RP function.

This design is fully enabled for a single global scope deployment of IP Multicast. The design uses an Anycast RP
implementation strategy. This strategy provides load sharing and redundancy in Protocol Independent Multicast
sparse mode (PIM SM) networks. Two RPs share the load for source registration and the ability to act as hot
backup routers for each other.

The benefit of this strategy from the WAN perspective is that all IP routing devices within the WAN use an
identical configuration referencing the Anycast RPs. IP PIM SM is enabled on all interfaces including loopbacks,
VLANs, and subinterfaces.

DNS Considerations
When deploying remote site WAN with local Internet is important to consider Domain Name System (DNS)
configuration requirements and impacts to network redundancy and performance. Remote sites are often
geographically diverse and many cloud services have localized resources within the regions of remote site
locations that are optimal for user and application traffic. Using centralized DNS will result in sub-optimal routing,
poor application performance, and failure if private WAN connections are unavailable. For instance, compare a
cloud storage application moving data across the country for storage versus resolving to a local cluster. For these
reasons, split DNS designs are recommended for optimal routing and application performance.

Remote-Site LAN
The focus of the remote-site LAN configurations in this guide is Layer 2 access. WAN remote sites that do not
require additional distribution layer routing devices are considered to be flat or, from a LAN perspective, they are
considered unrouted Layer 2 sites. All Layer 3 services are provided by the attached WAN routers.

Access switches, through the use of multiple VLANs, can support services such as data and voice. The design
shown in the following figure illustrates the standardized VLAN assignment scheme. The benefits of this design
are clear: all of the access switches can be configured identically, regardless of the number of sites in this
configuration.

Reader Tip

Access switches and their configuration are not included in this guide. For information
about the various access switching platforms, see the Campus Wired LAN Technology
Design Guide.

The connection between the router and the access switch must be configured for 802.1Q VLAN trunking with
subinterfaces on the router that map to the respective VLANs on the switch. The various router subinterfaces act
as the IP default gateways for each of the IP subnet and VLAN combinations.

A similar LAN design can be extended to a dual-router edge as shown in Figure 6. This design change
introduces some additional complexity. The first requirement is to run a routing protocol. You need to configure
EIGRP between the routers. For consistency with the primary site LAN, use the EIGRP LAN process (AS 100).

Because there are now two routers per subnet, a First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) must be implemented.
For this design, Cisco selected Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) as the FHRP. HSRP is designed to allow
for transparent failover of the first-hop IP router. HSRP provides high network availability by providing first-hop
routing redundancy for IP hosts configured with a default gateway IP address.

802.1Q VLAN Trunk (64, 69, 99)

Enhanced Object Tracking (EOT) provides a consistent methodology for various router and switching features to
conditionally modify their operation based on information objects available within other processes. The objects
that can be tracked include interface line protocol, IP route reachability, and IP service-level agreement (SLA)
reachability as well as several others.

The IP SLA feature provides a capability for a router to generate synthetic network traffic that can be sent to a
remote responder. The responder can be a generic IP endpoint that can respond to an Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) echo (ping) request, or can be a Cisco router running an IP SLA responder process, that can
respond to more complex traffic such as jitter probes. The use of IP SLA allows the router to determine end-
to-end reachability to a destination and also the roundtrip delay. More complex probe types can also permit the
calculation of loss and jitter along the path. IP SLA is used in tandem with EOT within this design.

Introduction August 2014 Series

12
 To improve convergence times after a primary WAN failure, HSRP has the capability to monitor the reachability
of a next-hop IP neighbor through the use of EOT and IP SLA. This combination allows for a router to give up its
HSRP Active role if its upstream neighbor becomes unresponsive, thus providing additional network resiliency.

You configure to be active on the router with the highest priority WAN transport. EOT of IP SLA probes is
implemented in conjunction with HSRP so that in the case of WAN transport failure, the standby HSRP router
associated with the lower priority (alternate) WAN transport becomes the active HSRP router. The IP SLA probes
are sent from the remote-site primary WAN router to the upstream neighbor (MPLS PE, Layer 2 WAN CE, or
DMVPN hub) to ensure reachability of the next hop router. This is more effective than simply monitoring the
status of the WAN interface.

The dual router designs also warrant an additional component that is required for proper routing in certain
scenarios. In these cases, a traffic flow from a remote-site host might be sent to a destination reachable via the
alternate WAN transport (for example, a dual DMVPN remote site communicating with a DMVPN2-only remote
site). The primary WAN transport router then forwards the traffic out the same data interface to send it to the
alternate WAN transport router, which then forwards the traffic to the proper destination. This is referred to as
hairpinning.

The appropriate method to avoid sending the traffic out the same interface is to introduce an additional link
between the routers and designate the link as a transit network (Vlan 99). There are no hosts connected to the
transit network, and it is only used for router-router communication. The routing protocol runs between router
subinterfaces assigned to the transit network. No additional router interfaces are required with this design
modification because the 802.1Q VLAN trunk configuration can easily accommodate an additional subinterface.

 Quality of Service
The network must ensure that business applications perform across the WAN during times of network
congestion. Traffic must be classified and queued and the WAN connection must be shaped in order to operate
within the capabilities of the connection. When the WAN design uses a service provider offering with quality
of service (QoS), the WAN edge QoS classification and treatment must align to the service provider offering in
order to ensure consistent, end-to-end QoS treatment of traffic.

Most users perceive the network as just a transport utility mechanism to shift data from point A to point B as
fast as it can. Many sum this up as just speeds and feeds. While it is true that IP networks forward traffic on a
best-effort basis by default, this type of routing only works well for applications that adapt gracefully to variations
in latency, jitter, and loss. However networks are multiservice by design and support real-time voice and video as
well as data traffic. The difference is that real-time applications require packets to be delivered within specified
loss, delay, and jitter parameters.

In reality, the network affects all traffic flows and must be aware of end-user requirements and services being
offered. Even with unlimited bandwidth, time-sensitive applications are affected by jitter, delay, and packet loss.
QoS enables a multitude of user services and applications to coexist on the same network.

Within the architecture, there are wired and wireless connectivity options that provide advanced classification,
prioritizing, queuing, and congestion mechanisms as part of the integrated QoS to help ensure optimal use of
network resources. This functionality allows for the differentiation of applications, ensuring that each has the
appropriate share of the network resources to protect the user experience and ensure the consistent operations
of business critical applications.

QoS is an essential function of the network infrastructure devices used throughout this architecture. QoS
enables a multitude of user services and applications, including real-time voice, high-quality video, and delay-
sensitive data to coexist on the same network. In order for the network to provide predictable, measurable, and
sometimes guaranteed services, it must manage bandwidth, delay, jitter, and loss parameters. Even if you do not
require QoS for your current applications, you can use QoS for management and network protocols to protect
network functionality and manageability under normal and congested traffic conditions.

The goal of this design is to provide sufficient classes of service in order to allow you to add voice, interactive
video, critical data applications, and management traffic to the network, either during the initial deployment or
later with minimum system impact and engineering effort.

With Internet-based WAN services, QoS preservation across the public Internet is not guaranteed. For best effort
in this use case, egress traffic classification prioritizes traffic as it leaves the remote-site router, paying special
attention to the priority of DMVPN Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP) traffic.

Per-Tunnel QoS for DMVPN

The Per-Tunnel QoS for DMVPN feature allows the configuration of a QoS policy on a DMVPN hub on a per-
tunnel (spoke) basis. With Per-Tunnel QoS, a policy is applied outbound for DMVPN hub-to-spoke tunnels, which
increases per-tunnel performance for IPsec interfaces.

This feature allows you to apply a QoS policy on a DMVPN hub on a tunnel instance (per-endpoint or per-spoke
basis) in the egress direction for DMVPN hub-to-spoke tunnels. It allows you to shape the tunnel traffic to
individual spokes (parent policy) and to differentiate individual data flows going through the tunnel for policing
(child policy).

Traffic is regulated from the central site (hub) routers to the remote-site (spoke) routers on a per-tunnel basis.
With simplified configurations, the hub site is prevented from sending more traffic than any single remote site can
handle. This ensures high-bandwidth remote sites do not overrun remote sites with lower bandwidth allocations.

Securing Local Internet Access

Network security is an essential component of this design. In a large network, there are many entry points and
you need to ensure they are as secure as possible without making the network too difficult to use. Securing
the network not only helps keep the network safe from attacks but is also a key component to network-wide
resiliency.

Introduction August 2014 Series

 To help organizations address concerns with cloud security, this guide addresses the implementation of several
key integrated security features. As organizations leverage local Internet in the remote site, considerations for
securing access at each remote location is necessary. This guide provides general recommendations and
guidelines for implementing stateful firewalling, network address translation, and basic router security and
hardening.

Network Address Translation

With the growing adoption of distributed cloud applications, NAT plays an integral role in enabling organizations to
deploy and secure public and private cloud services.

Network address translation (NAT) enables private IP networks that use unregistered IP addresses (as specified
in RFC 1918) to connect to the Internet. NAT is used to translate the private addresses defined on internal
networks into legal routable addresses because Internet Service Providers (ISPs) cannot route RFC 1918
addresses.

Primarily designed for IP address conservation and network design simplification, NAT can also serve as a
security mechanism by hiding a host’s IP address and application ports.

NAT operates on firewall and routers connecting two network segments and translating the internal private
addresses to a public address on the external network. It can be configured to show to the outside world only
one IP address. This provides additional security by effectively hiding the entire internal network behind a single
IP address. This capability is called Port Address Translation (PAT), also referred to as NAT overload.

NAT provides the following benefits:

• Security, providing an added layer of defense from external attackers by hiding IP addresses and
application ports
• Scalability through the reuse of IP addresses, and by using IP address overloading capabilities
• Simplified provisioning and troubleshooting by enforcing consistent network design across network
locations

NAT is typically implemented at the edge of the network wherever an organization connects to the Internet.
Today, this may be in central or large aggregation sites or in remote sites providing localized Internet services.

Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall

With the adoption of remote-site local Internet for user web browsing and cloud services, the deployment of
firewall services at the remote office Internet edge is critical to maintaining an organization’s security posture.

Cisco Zone-Based Firewall (ZBFW), also called Zone Policy Firewall, is a Cisco IOS-integrated stateful firewall
implemented on the Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) and Cisco Aggregation Services Routers (ASR)
routing platforms.

Firewall zone policies are configured by using the Cisco Common Classification Policy Language (CPL or C3PL),
which employs a hierarchical structure to define inspection for network protocols and the groups to which the
inspection will be applied. Users familiar with the Cisco IOS Modular QoS CLI (MQC) will recognize the use of
class maps to specify which traffic will be affected by the action applied in a policy map.

Within this model, router interfaces are assigned to security zones, which establish the security borders of your
network. A security zone defines a boundary where traffic is subjected to policy restrictions; this policy is called
a zone policy. Zone policies define what traffic is allowed to flow between security zones. Zone policies are
unidirectional firewall policies applied between two security zones, called a zone pair. A zone pair is defined as
two security zones between which a zone policy is applied.

Introduction August 2014 Series

16
 Router interfaces assigned to configured security zones are subject to the default policies and rules:
• An interface can only be a member of a single security zone.
• When an interface is placed into a security zone, traffic is implicitly allowed to flow between other
interfaces assigned to the same security zone.
• Traffic flow to interfaces in different security zones is denied with an implicit deny all zone policy.
• Traffic cannot flow between an interface that is a member of security zone and any interface that is not a
member of a security zone.
• To allow traffic to flow between different security zones, policies must be configured between any two
security zones.
• Pass, inspect, and drop actions can only be applied between two zones.
• By default, traffic to and from the router itself (routing protocols, etc.) is permitted. The router itself (as a
source and destination) is defined as the self-zone by the Cisco IOS firewall. Traffic to and from the self-
zone on any interface is allowed until traffic is explicitly denied by a user defined zone security policy.

Deploying Local Internet Access
Design Overview
Remote Sites—Router Selection
The actual WAN remote-site routing platforms remain unspecified because the specification is tied closely to the
bandwidth required for a location and the potential requirement for the use of service module slots. The ability
to implement this solution with a variety of potential router choices is one of the benefits of a modular design
approach.

There are many factors to consider in the selection of the WAN remote-site routers. Among those, and key to
the initial deployment, is the ability to process the expected amount and type of traffic. You also need to make
sure that you have enough interfaces, enough module slots, and a properly licensed Cisco IOS Software image
that supports the set of features that is required by the topology. Cisco tested multiple integrated service router
models, and the expected performance is shown in the following table.

Table 3 - WAN remote-site Cisco Integrated Services Router options

Notes:
1. The performance numbers are conservative numbers obtained when the router is passing IMIX traffic
with heavy services configured and the CPU utilization is under 75 percent.
2. A single-router, dual-link remote site requires four router interfaces when using a port-channel to
connect to an access or distribution layer. Add the EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU to the Cisco 2900 and 3900
Series Integrated Services Routers in order to provide the additional WAN-facing interface.

Remote-Site Design Details

This guide focuses on seven remote-site designs with local Internet access. These designs provide
configurations and guidance for enabling secure local Internet access in remote office locations. Designs
providing local Internet access and internal network communications are deployed by using existing MPLS WAN,
L2 WAN, and VPN WAN design models.

Local Internet Access

Each of the remote-site design options supports local Internet access and internal network communications with
the central site. All designs except the single-router, single-link design support resilient routing.

Local Internet traffic is forwarded directly to the Internet by using the default route. This default route is directed
at the next-hop router in the Internet Service Provider’s (ISP) network. Because RFC-1918 addresses are
used for internal networks, all Internet-bound traffic is translated to a public address by using PAT on the ISP-
connected interface. The ZBFW is enabled to provide stateful inspection and to enforce a policy that only allows
return traffic for sessions initiated by internal users and for DMVPN tunnel traffic between the remote-site router
and the DMVPN hub router.

This local Internet model does not use F-VRF (Front Door VRF) with DMVPN to segment the routing table, thus
allowing two defaults to exist on the same router. With F-VRF, the default route from the ISP is contained within
the Internet VRF and is only used for DMVPN tunnel formation.

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

20
 In this model, a default route over Internet-based VPN tunnels cannot be allowed because route flapping can
occur. In this case, because backup Internet routing is not possible over these VPN tunnels, the recommended
best practice is to filter the central-site default route. Ensuring the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)-
derived default route to the local ISP is preferred over the central-site default route also helps to avoid issues if
the default route is not filtered due to misconfigurations. Central Internet fallback is possible with MPLS-based
WAN services.

The detailed designs for each of the remote-site types listed in Table 4 and Table 5 are discussed in the
following section.

DMVPN Remote Site (Single Router, Single Link)

In this design, the remote site is configured with a single router and a single connection to the Internet. This is the
most basic of all designs, and is a common building block that other designs are derived from. In this design, the
remote site uses a single router and connects to a single Internet connection. This connection will be shared for
a combination of internal traffic and local Internet access.

Internal traffic or traffic that says within the organization will be routed over an encrypted tunnel path to the

In this example, the Internet-facing interface on the router obtains an IP address from the ISP by using DHCP.
The router also receives a DHCP-assigned default route with a default administrative distance (AD) value of 254.
In this case, the default route to the local ISP should be preferred, so the AD value of the DHCP-learned default
route is adjusted to 15.

 Once the VPN connection has been negotiated, the remote-site router will form an EIGRP adjacency with the
DMVPN hub router and exchange routing information. The primary site advertises its default route toward the
remote site. With a remote-site local Internet configuration, the default route received over the DMVPN tunnel
from the primary site must be filtered from the remote-site routing table.

MPLS + DMVPN Remote Site (Single Router, Dual Link)

In this design, the remote site is configured with a single router by using MPLS as the primary connectivity for
internal traffic. This site is also using an Internet connection on the same router for local Internet access and
DMVPN backup for internal traffic.

 In this example, the Internet-facing Ethernet interface on the router is using DHCP to obtain an IP address from
the ISP. The router is also using DHCP to install a default route into the local table. By default, this DHCP-installed
static route has an AD value of 254.

In this case, the default route to the local ISP should be preferred so the AD value is changed to 10. This ensures
the default route is chosen over other protocols such as EIGRP and BGP.

In this configuration, the MPLS connection will be used as a backup path for Internet if the local Internet
connection fails. The central-site default route is advertised over the MPLS network via eBGP with an AD value of
20 and will be used only if the local connection fails.

Once the VPN connection has been negotiated, the remote-site router will form an EIGRP adjacency with the
DMVPN hub router and exchange routing information. The central site also has a local ISP default route used
for central-site Internet access that is advertised by EIGRP. With a remote-site local Internet configuration, the
default route received over the DMVPN tunnel from the central site must be filtered from the remote site routing
table.

Layer 2 WAN + DMVPN Remote Site (Single Router, Dual Link)

In this design, the remote site is configured with a single router using L2 WAN services such as VPLS as the
primary connectivity for internal traffic. This site is also using an Internet connection on the same router for local
Internet access and DMVPN backup for internal traffic.

In this case, the default route to the secondary link should be preferred, so the AD value is changed to 10. Using
the secondary link as the primary path for external traffic provides more usable bandwidth during a normal
network operational state. In this configuration, the primary Internet-interface AD value is set to 15. This ensures
the local default route is chosen over other protocols such as EIGRP. The primary link will be used as a backup
path for Internet traffic should the other local Internet connection fail.

 Once the VPN connection has been negotiated, the remote-site router will form an EIGRP adjacency with the
DMVPN hub router and exchange routing information. The central site also has a local ISP default route used for
central site Internet access that is advertised by EIGRP toward the remote site. With a remote-site local Internet
configuration, the default route received over the DMVPN tunnel from the central site must be filtered from the
remote site routing table.

Tech Tip

The DMVPN spoke-to-spoke tunnel setup may not work properly with dual Internet
configurations if the service providers implement security measures as outlined in
RFC2827 per the guidelines of RFC 3013. These security measures are intended to
reduce source address spoofing and denial of service (DoS) attack propagation by
using ACLs and unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) capabilities ingress at the ISP
network edge.

MPLS + DMVPN Remote Site (Dual Router, Dual Link)

In this design, the remote site is configured with dual routers for added resiliency by using MPLS as the primary
transport for internal traffic. In all DMVPN configurations with local Internet access, the default route is filtered
and removed from EIGRP over the DMVPN tunnel.

The secondary router in this remote site configuration is connected to the Internet providing local Internet access
and DMVPN backup for internal traffic.

 Between the remote site routers, this design uses an additional EIGRP LAN process (AS100) over the transit

default received from the secondary router. In this case, the AD for the BGP default route on the primary router
is changed to 254 so the local internet path is chosen. The MPLS connection will be used as a backup path for
Internet traffic if the local Internet connection on the secondary router fails.

Once the VPN connection has been negotiated, the remote-site router will form an EIGRP adjacency with the
DMVPN hub router and exchange routing information. The central site also has a local ISP default route that is
advertised by EIGRP and is used for central-site Internet access. With a remote site local Internet configuration,
you need to ensure the default route received over the DMVPN tunnel from the central site is filtered from the
remote site routing table.

Layer 2 WAN + DMVPN Remote Site (Dual Router, Dual Link)

In this design, the remote site is configured with dual routers for added resiliency by using a L2 WAN service as
the primary transport for internal traffic. The secondary router in this remote site configuration is connected to
the Internet, providing local Internet access and DMVPN backup for internal traffic.

Internal networks are advertised by using EIGRP over the L2 WAN and the DMVPN tunnel to each router.
Preference for internal routing is determined by manual bandwidth and EIGRP default metric configurations.

Between the remote site routers, an additional EIGRP LAN process (AS100) is used over the transit network to
exchange routing information. The EIGRP 300 process on the primary router is redistributed into EIGRP AS100.
On the secondary router, EIGRP AS200 is redistributed into EIGRP AS100.

By redistributing the DHCP-derived route into EIGRP AS100 on the secondary router, the default route will be
advertised to the primary router with a default AD value of 170 (external EIGRP).

The central-site default route is advertised over the L2 WAN via EIGRP with an AD value of 170 on the primary
router, but with a less desirable composite metric than the local default route. The L2 WAN connection will be
used as a backup path for Internet traffic if the local Internet connection on the secondary router fails.

 Once the VPN connection has been negotiated, the remote-site router will form an EIGRP adjacency with the
DMVPN hub router and exchange routing information. The central site also has a local ISP default route used
for central-site Internet access that is advertised by EIGRP. With a remote-site local Internet configuration, the
default route received over the DMVPN tunnel from the central site must be filtered from the remote-site routing
table.

DMVPN + DMVPN Remote Site (Dual Router, Dual Link)

In this design, the remote site is configured with dual routers for added resiliency by using dual Internet
connections with DMVPN for as primary and backup connectivity.

Internal traffic or traffic that stays within the organization will be encrypted and routed over the primary Internet
(DMVPN-1) connection on the primary router. In the case of a failure on the primary ISP network, internal traffic
will then be encrypted and routed over the secondary DMVPN tunnel (DMVPN-2) on the secondary router.
Internal networks are advertised by using EIGRP over the DMVPN tunnels to each router and preference for
internal routing is determined by manual bandwidth and default metric configurations.

Between the remote-site routers, an additional EIGRP LAN process (AS100) is used over the transit network. The
WAN-facing EIGRP processes on each router are redistributed into EIGRP AS100.

In this example, the Internet-facing Ethernet interfaces on the routers are using DHCP to obtain an IP address
from the ISPs. The routers are also using DHCP to install default routes into the local tables on each router. By
default, these DHCP-installed static routes have an AD value of 254. With two connections, preference needs to
be configured for these routes.
In this configuration, preference is given to the local Internet connection on the secondary router by changing
the AD value to 10 for the DHCP-derived default route and leaving the default value of 254 on the primary router.
Using the secondary link as the primary path for external traffic provides more usable bandwidth during a normal
network operational state.
The DHCP static routes are redistributed into EIGRP AS100 and exchanged between the remote -site routers.
The default route will appear on the primary router with an AD value of 170 and will be installed in to the table
over the local DCHP derived route with an AD value of 254. The backup path will appear on the secondary
router with an AD value of 170 and will only be installed when the local primary default with the AD value of 10 is
no longer in the table.

 Once the VPN connection has been negotiated, the remote-site router will form an EIGRP adjacency with the
DMVPN hub router and exchange routing information. The central site also has a local ISP default route used
for central-site Internet access that is advertised by EIGRP. With a remote-site local Internet configuration, the
default route from the central location must be filtered from the remote site routing tables.

Tech Tip

The DMVPN spoke-to-spoke tunnel setup may not work properly with dual Internet
configurations if the service providers implement security measures as outlined in
RFC2827 per the guidelines of RFC 3013. These security measures are intended to
reduce source address spoofing and denial of service (DoS) attack propagation by
using ACLs and unicast RPF capabilities ingress at the ISP network edge.

Procedure 1 Configure the WAN remote router

Within this design, there are features and services that are common across all WAN remote site routers. These
are system settings that simplify and secure the management of the solution.

Step 1: Configure the device host name. This makes it easy to identify the device.
hostname RS250-1941

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

36
 Step 2: Configure a local login and password. The local login account and password provides basic access
authentication to a router, which provides only limited operational privileges. The enable password secures
access to the device configuration mode. By enabling password encryption, you prevent the disclosure of plain
text passwords when viewing configuration files.
username admin password c1sco123
enable secret c1sco123
service password-encryption
aaa new-model
By default, HTTPS access to the router uses the enable password for authentication.

Step 3: If you want management access to the network infrastructure devices (SSH and HTTPS) to be controlled
by authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), configure centralized user authentication.
As networks scale in the number of devices to maintain, there is an operational burden to maintain local user
accounts on every device. A centralized AAA service reduces operational tasks per device and provides an audit
log of user access for security compliance and root cause analysis.
TACACS+ is the primary protocol used to authenticate management logins on the infrastructure devices to
the AAA server. A local AAA user database is also defined in Step 2 on each network infrastructure device to
provide a fallback authentication source in case the centralized TACACS+ server is unavailable.
tacacs server TACACS-SERVER-1
address ipv4 [Link]
key SecretKey
!
aaa group server tacacs+ TACACS-SERVERS
server name TACACS-SERVER-1
!
aaa authentication login default group TACACS-SERVERS local
aaa authorization exec default group TACACS-SERVERS local
aaa authorization console
ip http authentication aaa

Step 4: Secure HTTP (HTTPS) and Secure Shell (SSH) are secure replacements for the HTTP and Telnet
protocols. They use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide device
authentication and data encryption.
Enable secure management of the network device by using the SSH and HTTPS protocols. Encrypt both
protocols for privacy and turn off the unsecure protocols, Telnet and HTTP. Enable Secure Copy Protocol (SCP)
to allow Cisco IOS code upgrades using Prime Infrastructure via the SSH-based SCP protocol.
Specify the transport preferred none on vty lines in order to prevent errant connection attempts from the
CLI prompt. Without this command, if the ip name-server is unreachable, long timeout delays may occur for
mistyped commands.
ip domain-name [Link]
ip ssh version 2
no ip http server
ip http secure-server
ip scp server enable
line vty 0 15
transport input ssh
transport preferred none

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

37
 Step 5: Enable synchronous logging. When synchronous logging of unsolicited messages and debug output is
turned on, console log messages are displayed on the console after interactive CLI output is displayed or printed.
With this command, you can continue typing at the device console when debugging is enabled.
line con 0
transport preferred none
logging synchronous

Step 6: Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows the network infrastructure devices
to be managed by a Network Management System (NMS). SNMPv2c is configured both for a read-only and a
read-write community string.
snmp-server community cisco RO
snmp-server community cisco123 RW

Step 7: If operational support is centralized in your network, increase network security by using an access list
to limit the networks that can access your device. In this example, only devices on the [Link]/24 network are
able to access the device via SSH or SNMP.
access-list 55 permit [Link] [Link]
line vty 0 15
access-class 55 in
!
snmp-server community cisco RO 55
snmp-server community cisco123 RW 55

Tech Tip

If you configure an access-list on the vty interface, you may lose the ability to use ssh
to log in from one router to the next for hop-by-hop troubleshooting.

Step 8: Configure a synchronized clock. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is designed to synchronize a
network of devices. An NTP network usually gets its time from an authoritative time source, such as a radio clock
or an atomic clock attached to a time server. NTP then distributes this time across the organization’s network.

You should program network devices to synchronize to a local NTP server in the network. The local NTP server
typically references a more accurate clock feed from an outside source. By configuring console messages, logs,
and debug output to provide time stamps on output, you can cross-reference events in a network.
ntp server [Link]
!
clock timezone PST -8
clock summer-time PDT recurring
!
service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime
service timestamps log datetime msec localtime

Step 9: Configure an in-band management interface. The loopback interface is a logical interface that is always
reachable as long as the device is powered on and any IP interface is reachable to the network. Because of this
capability, the loopback address is the best way to manage the switch in-band. Layer 3 process and features are
also bound to the loopback interface to ensure process resiliency.

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

38
 The loopback address is commonly a host address with a 32-bit address mask. Allocate the loopback address
from the IP address block that the distribution switch summarizes to the rest of the network.
interface Loopback 0
ip address [Link] [Link]
ip pim sparse-mode

Step 10: Bind the device processes for SNMP, SSH, PIM, TACACS+, and NTP to the loopback interface address.
This provides optimal resiliency.
snmp-server trap-source Loopback0
ip ssh source-interface Loopback0
ip pim register-source Loopback0
ip tacacs source-interface Loopback0
ntp source Loopback0

Step 11: Enable IP Multicast routing on the platforms in the global configuration mode. IP Multicast allows a
single IP data stream to be replicated by the infrastructure (routers and switches) and sent from a single source
to multiple receivers. Using IP Multicast is much more efficient than using multiple individual unicast streams or
a broadcast stream that would propagate everywhere. IP Telephony MOH and IP Video Broadcast Streaming are
two examples of IP Multicast applications.

In order to receive a particular IP Multicast data stream, end hosts must join a multicast group by sending an
IGMP message to their local multicast router. In a traditional IP Multicast design, the local router consults another
router in the network that is acting as an RP to map the receivers to active sources so they can join their streams.

This design, which is based on sparse mode multicast operation, uses Auto RP for a simple yet scalable way to
provide a highly resilient RP environment.
ip multicast-routing

Step 12: Configure every Layer 3 switch and router to discover the IP Multicast RP with autorp. Use the ip pim
autorp listener command to allow for discovery across sparse mode links. This configuration provides for future
scaling and control of the IP Multicast environment and can change based on network needs and design.
ip pim autorp listener

Step 13: Enable sparse mode multicast operation for all Layer 3 interfaces in the network.
ip pim sparse-mode

Procedure 2 Configure remote-site access layer switching

Layer 2 EtherChannels are used to interconnect the remote site router to the access layer in the most resilient
method possible. If your access-layer device is a single, fixed-configuration switch, a simple Layer 2 trunk
between the router and switch is used.

Reader Tip

This guide includes only the additional steps to complete the access-layer
configuration. For complete access-layer configuration details, see the Campus Wired
LAN Technology Design Guide.

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

39
 In the access-layer design, the remote sites use collapsed routing, with 802.1Q trunk interfaces to the LAN
access layer. The VLAN numbering is significant only locally.

Option 1: Layer 2 EtherChannel from router to access-layer switch

Step 1: Configure the port-channel interface on the router.

interface Port-channel1
description EtherChannel link to RS250-A3650
no shutdown

Step 2: Configure the EtherChannel member interfaces on the router. Ensure the physical interfaces tie to the
logical port-channel by using the channel-group command. The number for the port-channel and channel-group
must match.
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
description RS250-A3650 Gig1/0/24

no ip address
channel-group 1

Tech Tip

Not all router platforms can support LACP to negotiate with the switch, so you
configure EtherChannel statically.

Step 3: Configure EtherChannel member interfaces on the access-layer switch. Connect the router
EtherChannel uplinks, which separate switches in the access-layer switch stack.

 Tech Tip

The physical interfaces that are members of a Layer 2 EtherChannel are configured
prior to configuring the logical port-channel interface. Doing the configuration in
this order allows for minimal configuration and reduces errors because most of the
commands entered to a port-channel interface are copied to its members’ interfaces
and do not require manual replication.

Step 4: Configure EtherChannel trunk on the access-layer switch. Use an 802.1Q trunk for the connection,
which allows the router to provide the Layer 3 services to all the VLANs defined on the access-layer switch.
Prune the VLANs allowed on the trunk to only the VLANs that are active on the access-layer switch. When using
EtherChannel, the interface type is port-channel, and the number must match the channel group configured in
the previous step. Set DHCP Snooping and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection to trust.

Tech Tip

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series switches require the switchport trunk encapsulation

Step 1: Enable the physical interface on the router.

interface GigabitEthernet0/2

Step 2: Configure the trunk on the access-layer switch. Use an 802.1Q trunk for the connection, which allows
the router to provide the Layer 3 services to all the VLANs defined on the access-layer switch. Prune the VLANs
allowed on the trunk to only the VLANs that are active on the access-layer switch. Set DHCP Snooping and
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection to trust.

Procedure 3 Connect to the Internet

The remote sites that are using DMVPN can use either static or dynamically assigned IP addresses. Cisco tested
the design with a DHCP-assigned external address, which also provides a dynamically configured default route.

Step 1: Verify that the Internet-facing interface is disabled until the configuration is complete.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
shutdown

Step 2: Configure the Internet-facing interface to receive an IP address from the ISP via DHCP and to adjust the
administrative distance of the default route.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address dhcp
ip dhcp client default-route distance 15

Tech Tip

Do not enable PIM on this interface because no multicast traffic should be requested
from this interface.

Procedure 4 Configure ISAKMP and IPsec

Step 1: Configure the crypto keyring.

The crypto keyring defines a pre-shared key (PSK) valid for IP sources reachable within the DMVPN cloud. This
key is a wildcard PSK (or password) if it applies to any IP source. A wildcard key is configured using the [Link]
[Link] network/mask combination.
crypto keyring GLOBAL-KEYRING
pre-shared-key address [Link] [Link] key cisco123

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

42
 Step 2: Configure the ISAKMP Policy and Dead Peer Detection.

The ISAKMP policy for DMVPN uses the following:

• Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 256-bit key
• Secure Hash Standard (SHA)
• Authentication by PSK
• Diffie-Hellman group: 2

Enable DPD with keepalive intervals sent at 30-second intervals with a 5-second retry interval, which is
considered to be a reasonable setting to detect a failed hub.
crypto isakmp policy 10
encr aes 256
hash sha
authentication pre-share
group 2
!
crypto isakmp keepalive 30 5

Step 3: Create the ISAKMP profile.

The ISAKMP profile creates an association between an identity address, a VRF and a crypto keyring. A wildcard
address within a VRF is referenced with [Link].
crypto isakmp profile ISAKMP-INET-PUBLIC
keyring GLOBAL-KEYRING
match identity address [Link]

Step 4: Define the IPsec transform set.

A transform set is an acceptable combination of security protocols, algorithms, and other settings to apply to
IPsec-protected traffic. Peers agree to use a particular transform set when protecting a particular data flow.

The IPsec transform set for DMVPN uses the following:

• Encapsulating security payload (ESP) with the 256-bit AES encryption algorithm
• ESP with the Secure Hashed Algorithm (SHA) (Hashed Message Authentication Code [HMAC] variant)
authentication algorithm

Because the DMVPN hub router is behind a NAT device, you must configure the IPsec transform for transport
mode.
crypto ipsec transform-set AES256/SHA/TRANSPORT esp-aes 256 esp-sha-hmac
mode transport

Step 5: Create the IPsec profile.

The IPsec profile creates an association between an ISAKMP profile and an IPsec transform-set.
crypto ipsec profile DMVPN-PROFILE1
set transform-set AES256/SHA/TRANSPORT
set isakmp-profile ISAKMP-INET-PUBLIC

Step 6: Increase the IPsec anti-replay window size.

crypto ipsec security-association replay window-size 1024

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

43
 Tech Tip

Increasing the anti-replay window size has no impact on throughput and security. The
impact on memory is insignificant because only an extra 128 bytes per incoming IPsec
SA is needed.

It is recommended that you use the full 1024 window size in order to eliminate future
anti-replay problems.

If you do not increase the window size, the router may drop packets and you may see
the following error message on the router CLI:
%CRYPTO-4-PKT_REPLAY_ERR: decrypt: replay check failed

Procedure 5 Configure the mGRE Tunnel

First, configure basic interface settings. Tunnel interfaces are created as they are configured. The tunnel number
is arbitrary, but it is best to begin tunnel numbering at 10 or above, because other features deployed in this
design may also require tunnels and they may select lower numbers by default.

The bandwidth setting should be set to match the Internet bandwidth.

Step 1: Configure the IP MTU to 1400 and the ip tcp adjust-mss to 1360. There is a 40-byte difference, which
corresponds to the combined IP and TCP header length.
interface Tunnel10
bandwidth [bandwidth (kbps)]
ip address [IP address] [netmask]
no ip redirects
ip mtu 1400
ip tcp adjust-mss 1360

Step 2: Configure the tunnel.

DMVPN uses multipoint GRE (mGRE) tunnels. This type of tunnel requires a source interface only. The source
interface should be the same interface used to connect to the Internet.

Enabling encryption on this interface requires you to apply the IPsec profile configured in the previous procedure.
interface Tunnel10
tunnel source GigabitEthernet0/0
tunnel mode gre multipoint
tunnel protection ipsec profile DMVPN-PROFILE1

Step 3: Configure Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP).

The DMVPN hub router is the NHRP server for all of the spokes. NHRP is used by remote routers to determine
the tunnel destinations for peers attached to the mGRE tunnel.

The spoke router requires several additional configuration statements to define the NHRP server (NHS) and
NHRP map statements for the mGRE tunnel IP address of the DMVPN hub router. EIGRP (configured in the
following Procedure 6, “Configure EIGRP WAN routing”) relies on a multicast transport. Spoke routers require the
NHRP static multicast mapping.

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

44
 The value used for the NHS is the mGRE tunnel address for the DMVPN hub router. The map entries must be set
to the outside NAT value of the DMVPN hub, as configured on the Cisco ASA5500. This design uses the values
shown in Table 7.

Table 7 - DMVPN tunnel parameters

DMVPN hub DMVPN hub public

DMVPN public address address (externally Tunnel IP address NHRP network
cloud (actual) routable after NAT) (NHS) Tunnel number ID
Primary [Link] [Link] [Link] 10 101
Secondary [Link] [Link] [Link] 11 102

NHRP requires all devices within a DMVPN cloud to use the same network ID and authentication key. The NHRP
cache holdtime should be configured to 600 seconds.

This design supports DMVPN spoke routers that receive their external IP addresses through DHCP. It is possible
for these routers to acquire different IP addresses after a reload. When the router attempts to register with the
NHRP server, it may appear as a duplicate to an entry already in the cache and be rejected. The registration
no-unique option allows you to overwrite existing cache entries. This feature is required only on NHRP clients
(DMVPN spoke routers).

The ip nhrp redirect command allows the DMVPN hub to notify spoke routers that a more optimal path may exist
to a destination network, which may be required for DMVPN spoke-to-spoke direct communications. DMVPN
spoke routers also use shortcut switching when building spoke-to-spoke tunnels.

ip nhrp registration no-unique
ip nhrp shortcut
ip nhrp redirect

Procedure 6 Configure EIGRP WAN routing

A single EIGRP process runs on the DMVPN spoke router. All interfaces on the router are EIGRP interfaces, but
only the DMVPN tunnel interface is non-passive. The network range must include all interface IP addresses
either in a single network statement or in multiple network statements. This design uses a best practice of
assigning the router ID to a loopback address. All DMVPN spoke routers should run EIGRP stub routing to
improve network stability and reduce resource utilization.

Step 1: Configure EIGRP for VPN WAN.

Step 2: Configure some specific requirements for the mGRE tunnel interface. Increase the EIGRP hello
interval to 20 seconds and the EIGRP hold time to 60 seconds. This makes it so up to 500 remote sites can be
accommodated on a single DMVPN cloud.

address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 200
af-interface Tunnel10
hello-interval 20
hold-time 60
exit-af-interface

Step 3: Configure EIGRP neighbor authentication. This allows EIGRP to form neighbor relationships with MD5
authentication in order to establish secure peering adjacencies and exchange route tables over the DMVPN WAN
tunnel interface.

Step 4: Advertise the remote-site LAN networks. The IP assignment for the remote sites was designed so
that all of the networks in use can be summarized within a single aggregate route. The summary address as
configured below suppresses the more specific routes. If any network within the summary is present in the route
table, the summary is advertised to the DMVPN hub, which offers a measure of resiliency. If the various LAN
networks cannot be summarized, then EIGRP continues to advertise the specific routes.

 Step 5: Configure tunnel routing affinity for hub traffic. This ensures traffic for the hub only routes via the local
WAN interface.

tunnel route-via GigabitEthernet0/0 mandatory

Procedure 7 Block EIGRP learned default route

In this configuration you need to filter the central-site default route from being received over the DMVPN tunnel.

Step 1: Create an access list to match the default route and permit all other routes.
ip access-list standard NO-DEFAULT
deny [Link]
permit any

Step 2: Create a route-map to reference the access list.

Procedure 8 Configure IP Multicast routing

This procedure includes additional steps for configuring IP Multicast for a DMVPN tunnel on a router with IP
Multicast already enabled.

Step 1: Enable IP PIM sparse mode on the DMVPN tunnel interface.

interface Tunnel10
ip pim sparse-mode

Step 2: Enable PIM non-broadcast multiple access mode for the DMVPN tunnel.

Spoke-to-spoke DMVPN networks present a unique challenge because the spokes cannot directly exchange
information with one another, even though they are on the same logical network. This inability to directly
exchange information can also cause problems when running IP Multicast.

To resolve the Non-broadcast Multi-access (NBMA) issue, you need to implement a method where each remote
PIM neighbor has its join messages tracked separately. A router in PIM NBMA mode treats each remote PIM
neighbor as if it were connected to the router through a point-to-point link.
interface Tunnel10
ip pim nbma-mode

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

47
 Step 3: Configure the designated router (DR) priority for the DMVPN spoke router.

Proper multicast operation across a DMVPN cloud requires that the hub router assumes the role of PIM DR.
Spoke routers should never become the DR. You can prevent that by setting the DR priority to 0 for the spoke
routers.
interface Tunnel10
ip pim dr-priority 0

Procedure 9 Configure remote-site DHCP

(Optional)
The previous procedure assumes the DHCP service has been configured centrally and uses the ip helper-
address command to forward DHCP requests to the centralized DHCP server.

If you choose to run a local DHCP server on the remote-site router instead of centralizing the DHCP service,
complete this procedure. This procedure uses a local DHCP service on the router in order to assign basic
network configuration for IP phones, wireless access points, users’ laptop and desktop computers, and other
endpoint devices.

Tech Tip

If you intend to use a dual-router remote-site design, you should use a resilient
DHCP solution, such as a centralized DHCP server. Options for resilient DHCP at the
remote site include using Cisco IOS Software on a distribution-layer switch stack or
implementing a dedicated DHCP server solution.

Step 1: Remove the previously configured ip helper-address commands for any interface that uses a local
DHCP server.

Step 2: Configure a DHCP scope for data endpoints, excluding DHCP assignment for the first 19 addresses in
the subnet.
ip dhcp excluded-address [Link] [Link]
ip dhcp pool DHCP-Wired-Data
network [Link] [Link]
default-router [Link]
domain-name [Link]
dns-server [Link]

Tech Tip

This design guide uses a centralized DNS service over the Internal WAN and does not
address the potential need to provision split DNS services, allowing remote sites to
resolve locally for external resources in better proximity to the remote office location.

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

48
 Step 3: Configure a DHCP scope for voice endpoints, excluding DHCP assignment for the first 19 addresses in
the subnet. Voice endpoints require an option field to tell them where to find their initial configuration. Different
vendors use different option fields, so the number may vary based on the voice product you choose (for
example, Cisco uses DHCP option 150).

 Procedure 1 Configure Internet interface

In this configuration, local Internet traffic will be routed using split-tunneling outside the DMVPN tunnel. VPN WAN
remote sites can use either static or dynamically assigned IP addresses. Cisco tested the design with a DHCP
assigned external address, which also provides a dynamically configured default route.

Tech Tip

If you are remotely connected to the remote-site router via SSH, you will be
disconnected from the router console. Shutting down the Internet interface will drop
the existing tunnel and isolate the router.

Step 1: Verify that the Internet facing is disabled until the configuration is complete.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
shutdown

Step 2: Remove the VRF from the Internet interface. This will automatically remove the IP address configuration
from the interface.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
no ip vrf forwarding INET-PUBLIC1

Step 3: Configure the Internet-facing interface to receive an IP address from the ISP via DHCP and to adjust the
administrative distance of the default route.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
ip address dhcp
ip dhcp client default-route distance 15

Tech Tip

The default behavior is for the router to install a default static route in the local table
with an AD value of 254. We are using an AD of 15 to ensure this path is preferred over
other learned routes via protocols such as BGP and EIGRP.

Procedure 2 Block EIGRP learned default route

In this configuration we are need to filter the central-site default route from being received over the DMVPN
tunnel.

Step 1: Create an access list to match the default route and permit all other routes.
ip access-list standard NO-DEFAULT
deny [Link]
permit any

Procedure 3 Configure DMVPN

In this design, internal traffic will be routed over the Internet VPN WAN connection to the central site. This will
require the removal of the Internet VRF and configurations that reference the VRF. Follow these procedures to
reconfigure DMVPN for local Internet access.

Step 1: Remove protection from the tunnel interface.

interface Tunnel10
no tunnel protection ipsec profile DMVPN-PROFILE1

Step 2: Remove the existing ISAKMP profile.

no crypto isakmp profile FVRF-ISAKMP-INET-PUBLIC1

Step 3: Remove the exiting keyring configuration that references the Internet VRF.
no crypto keyring DMVPN-KEYRING1 vrf INET-PUBLIC1

Step 4: Remove the Internet VRF from the router configuration. This automatically removes the existing VRF
configuration from the tunnel interface and the IP address configuration from any interfaces that were configured
for vrf INET-PUBLIC1.
no ip vrf INET-PUBLIC1
The following message is generated when you delete the VRF:
% IPv4 addresses from all interfaces in VRF INET-PUBLIC1 have been removed

Step 5: Configure a new keyring in the global table and define the pre-shared key.

Tech Tip

Local Internet routing will not function until you configure NAT (see the Configuring

In this configuration, local Internet traffic is routed by using split-tunneling outside the DMVPN tunnel. VPN WAN
remote sites can use either static or dynamically assigned IP addresses. Cisco tested the design with a DHCP-
assigned external address, which also provides a dynamically configured default route.

Tech Tip

 Procedure 2 Configure ISAKMP and IPsec

For MPLS primary and L2 WAN primary configurations you will need to configure DMVPN ISAKMP and IPsec
policies. VPN WAN configurations will already have these steps configured.

Step 1: If necessary, configure a crypto keyring in the global table and define the pre-shared key.
crypto keyring GLOBAL-KEYRING
pre-shared-key address [Link] [Link] key cisco123

Step 2: If necessary, configure the ISAKMP policy and Dead Peer Detection.

The ISAKMP policy for DMVPN uses the following:

• Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 256-bit key
• Secure Hash Standard (SHA)
• Authentication by PSK
• Diffie-Hellman group: 2
Enable DPD with keepalive intervals sent at 30-second intervals with a 5-second retry interval, which is
considered to be a reasonable setting to detect a failed hub.
crypto isakmp policy 10
encr aes 256

authentication pre-share
group 2
!
crypto isakmp keepalive 30 5

Step 3: Create the ISAKMP profile.

crypto isakmp profile ISAKMP-INET-PUBLIC
keyring GLOBAL-KEYRING
match identity address [Link]

Step 4: Define the IPsec transform set.

A transform set is an acceptable combination of security protocols, algorithms, and other settings to apply to
IPsec-protected traffic. Peers agree to use a particular transform set when protecting a particular data flow.

The IPsec transform set for DMVPN uses the following:

• ESP with the 256-bit AES encryption algorithm
• ESP with the SHA (HMAC variant) authentication algorithm

Because the DMVPN hub router is behind a NAT device, you must configure the IPsec transform for transport
mode.
crypto ipsec transform-set AES256/SHA/TRANSPORT esp-aes 256 esp-sha-hmac
mode transport

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

56
 Step 5: Create the IPsec profile.

The IPsec profile creates an association between an ISAKMP profile and an IPsec transform-set.
crypto ipsec profile DMVPN-PROFILE1
set transform-set AES256/SHA/TRANSPORT
set isakmp-profile ISAKMP-INET-PUBLIC

Step 6: Increase the IPsec anti-replay window size.

crypto ipsec security-association replay window-size 1024

Tech Tip

Increasing the anti-replay window size has no impact on throughput and security. The
impact on memory is insignificant because only an extra 128 bytes per incoming IPsec
security association (SA) is needed.

It is recommended that you use the full 1024 window size in order to eliminate future
anti-replay problems.

If you do not increase the window size, the router may drop packets and you may see
the following error message on the router CLI:
%CRYPTO-4-PKT_REPLAY_ERR: decrypt: replay check failed

Procedure 3 Configure the mGRE tunnel

Follow these procedures to configure DMVPN for secure encrypted communications with the central-site
location using a secondary Internet WAN link on a single WAN router.

When adding a backup link to an existing MPLS WAN or L2 WAN primary configuration, use the Primary DMVPN
cloud (DMVPN1) for the backup connection to the primary site. For VPN WAN primary configurations, use the
secondary DMVPN cloud (DMVPN-2) for the backup connection to the primary site.

 Procedure 4 GETVPN and DMVPN single router configuration

If you are configuring a secondary Internet link with DMVPN on an MPLS Primary router also running GETVPN,
you need to use a single shared crypto keyring for GETVPN and DMVPN to work concurrently.

Step 1: If you already have a Global-Keyring as used in the GETVPN guide, ensure that the more specific pre-
shared-keys are at the top of the list and the match-all pre-shared-key is at the bottom. Move the pre-shared
keys for GETVPN to the global keyring.
Crypto keyring GLOBAL-KEYRING
pre-shared-key address [Link] key c1sco123
pre-shared-key address [Link] key c1sco123
pre-shared-key address [Link] [Link] key cisco123

Tech Tip

When a keyring is configured in the global table it takes precedence over other pre-
shared key configurations.

When you add the following crypto keyring to configuration,

crypto keyring GLOBAL-KEYRING
pre-shared-key address [Link] [Link] key cisco123

the following ISAKMP pre-shared key statements become invalid.

crypto isakmp key c1sco123 address [Link]
crypto isakmp key c1sco123 address [Link]

Merge all ISAKMP pre-shared keys into the global crypto keyring if you required
concurrent GET VPN and DMVPN in a non-VRF aware configuration.

For more information, see the GET VPN Technology Design Guide.

Procedure 5 Configure EIGRP WAN routing

Step 1: In this configuration we need to configure EIGRP to exchange internal routes with the central site and
filter the central site default route for being received over the DMVPN [Link] the EIGRP WAN process.

For MPLS WAN and Layer 2 WAN configurations, EIGRP AS200 is configured on the router for the primary
DMVPN cloud. All interfaces on the router are EIGRP AS200 interfaces, but only the DMVPN tunnel interface is
non-passive. The network range must include all interface IP addresses either in a single network statement or in
multiple network statements. This design uses a best practice of assigning the router ID to a loopback address.

tunnel interface.

Step 4: Configure EIGRP route summarization.

You must advertise the remote-site LAN networks. The IP assignment for the remote sites was designed so
that all of the networks in use can be summarized within a single aggregate route. The summary address as
configured below suppresses the more specific routes. If any network within the summary is present in the route
table, the summary is advertised to the DMVPN hub, which offers a measure of resiliency. If the various LAN
networks cannot be summarized, then EIGRP continues to advertise the specific routes.

Procedure 6 Configure IPSLA for DHCP route removal

(Optional)
In many cases you may need to ensure connectivity issues with your ISP don’t cause black-hole routing
conditions. Failure conditions can exist where the DHCP address and route are not removed from the remote-
site router when connectivity issues exist with the broadband service or local premise equipment. There may
also be circumstances if certain services are unreachable within via the local ISP connection that you want to
reroute to a secondary Internet service.

In this solution, an IPSLA probe is used to monitor the status of the ISP connection used as the primary path for
local Internet traffic. In this example, the failure of probes to two different IP hosts triggers the removal of the
default route. If either probe is active the route will remain.

Step 1: Configure the IPSLA probes.

ip sla 110
icmp-echo [Link] source-interface GigabitEthernet0/1
threshold 1000
frequency 15
ip sla schedule 110 life forever start-time now

Step 3: Configure ACL and route map to match and set the next-hop for the IPSLA probe traffic. This ensures
proper recovery when service is restored after a failure.

 Modifying Router 1 for a Dual-Router Design
1. Configure Access Layer HSRP
PROCESS
2. Configure the transit network
3. Configure EIGRP (LAN side)
4. Configure default route administrative distance
5. Enable enhanced object tracking
6. Configure loopback resiliency

This process is required when the first router has already been configured by using one of the following
processes.

In this guide:
• Configuring a Spoke Router for a DMVPN Remote Site with Local Internet Access
• Converting Existing DMVPN Spoke Routers from Central to Local Internet

Or in these guides:
• MPLS WAN Technology Design Guide—Remote-Site MPLS CE Router Configuration
• Layer 2 WAN Technology Design Guide—Remote-Site Layer 2 WAN CE Router Configuration

Procedure 1 Configure Access Layer HSRP

You need to configure HSRP to enable the use of a virtual IP (VIP) as a default gateway that is shared between
two routers. The HSRP active router is the router connected to the primary carrier and the HSRP standby router
is the router connected to the secondary carrier or backup link. Configure the HSRP active router with a standby
priority that is higher than the HSRP standby router.

The router with the higher standby priority value is elected as the HSRP active router. The preempt option allows
a router with a higher priority to become the HSRP active, without waiting for a scenario where there is no router
in the HSRP active state. The relevant HSRP parameters for the router configuration are shown in the following
table.

Table 9 - WAN remote-site HSRP parameters (dual router)

Virtual IP Real IP
Router HSRP role address (VIP) address HSRP priority PIM DR priority
Primary Active .1 .2 110 110
Secondary Standby .1 .3 105 105

The assigned IP addresses override those configured in the previous procedure, so the default gateway IP
address remains consistent across locations with single or dual routers.

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

63
 The dual-router access-layer design requires a modification for resilient multicast. The PIM designated router
(DR) should be on the HSRP active router. The DR is normally elected based on the highest IP address, and has
no awareness of the HSRP configuration. In this design, the HSRP active router has a lower real IP address than
the HSRP standby router, which requires a modification to the PIM configuration. The PIM DR election can be
influenced by explicitly setting the DR priority on the LAN-facing subinterfaces for the routers.

Tech Tip

The HSRP priority and PIM DR priority are shown in the previous table to be the same
value; however, you are not required to use identical values.

Step 1: Configure HSRP. This procedure should be repeated for all data or voice subinterfaces.

Procedure 2 Configure the transit network

The transit network is configured between the two routers. This network is used for router-router communication
and to avoid hairpinning.

Step 1: Configure the transit network subinterface. The transit network should use an additional subinterface
on the router interface that is already being used for data or voice. There are no end stations connected to this
network, so HSRP and DHCP are not required.

Procedure 3 Configure EIGRP (LAN side)

You must configure a routing protocol between the two routers. This ensures that the HSRP active router has full
reachability information for all WAN remote sites.

Step 1: Configure the EIGRP LAN process (AS100) facing the access layer by using EIGRP named mode.

In this design, all LAN-facing interfaces and the loopback must be EIGRP interfaces. All interfaces except the
transit-network subinterface should remain passive. The network range must include all interface IP addresses
either in a single network statement or in multiple network statements.

Step 2: Configure EIGRP neighbor authentication to allow EIGRP to form neighbor relationships with MD5
authentication in order to establish secure peering adjacencies and exchange route tables.

Step 3: Redistribute WAN routing protocol into the EIGRP LAN process.

The remote-site router is using either BGP for an MPLS connection or EIGRP for a Layer 2 WAN or DMVPN
connection. The WAN-facing routing protocol in use needs to be distributed into the EIGRP LAN process.

EIGRP WAN processes are already configured in a DMVPN or Layer 2 WAN deployment, and routes from these
EIGRP processes are redistributed. Since the routing protocol is the same, no default metric is required.

 Procedure 4 Configure default route administrative distance

In dual router remote sites you need to ensure the proper administrative (AD) distance for the default route is
configured on the primary router. For MPLS WAN primary and VPN WAN primary options, the AD needs to be
modified for the backup Internet path. Layer2 WAN configurations should not require any modification to the
default route.

Option 1: MPLS WAN Primary

For this configuration, the default route to the central hub location comes into the remote site router through the
MPLS connection via eBGP with an AD of 20. To ensure preference behavior for local Internet, change the AD of
the eBGP default to a value of 254.

Step 1: Configure an access list matching the default route.

Ip access-list standard DEFAULT-IN
permit [Link]

Step 2: Configure BGP to set the default route received from the eBGP neighbor to a value of 254. All other
routes remain as AD 20. Using the distance command, reference the ACL created in the previous step.
router bgp 65511
distance 254 [Link] [Link] DEFAULT-IN

Option 2: VPN WAN Primary

For this configuration the Internet WAN interface is the primary path for internal traffic over the DMVPN tunnel
and secondary for local Internet connectivity. The default route to the Internet on this router needs to be
configured with an AD of 254.

For dual-router configurations, you also need to redistribute this DHCP-originated default route into EIGRP AS100
for reachability on both WAN routers.

Step 1: Configure the Internet-facing interface to a DHCP default route with the default AD of 254.

ip address dhcp
ip dhcp client default-route distance 254

Step 2: Configure an access list to match the default route.

Step 3: Configure a route map referencing the access list that matches the default route.

Procedure 5 Enable enhanced object tracking

The HSRP active router remains the active router unless the router is reloaded or fails. Having the HSRP router
remain as the active router can lead to undesired behavior. If the primary WAN transport were to fail, the HSRP
active router would learn an alternate path through the transit network to the HSRP standby router and begin to
forward traffic across the alternate path. This is sub-optimal routing, and you can address it by using enhanced
object tracking (EOT).

The HSRP active router (MPLS CE, Layer 2 WAN CE, or primary DMVPN spoke) can use the IP SLA feature to
send echo probes to an upstream neighbor router and if that router becomes unreachable, then the router can
lower its HSRP priority, so that the HSRP standby router can preempt and become the HSRP active router.

This procedure is valid only on the router connected to the primary transport.

Step 1: Enable the IP SLA probe.

Use standard ICMP echo (ping) probes, and send them at 15 second intervals. Responses must be received
before the timeout of 1000 ms expires. If using the MPLS PE router as the probe destination, the destination
address is the same as the BGP neighbor address. If using the Layer WAN CE router as the probe destination,
then the destination address is either the CE router address when using the simple demarcation or the
subinterface CE router address when using a trunked demarcation. If using the DMVPN hub router as the probe
destination, then the destination address is the mGRE tunnel address.
ip sla 100
icmp-echo [probe destination IP address] source-interface [WAN interface]
timeout 1000
threshold 1000
frequency 15
ip sla schedule 100 life forever start-time now

Step 2: Configure EOT.

A tracked object is created based on the IP SLA probe. The object being tracked is the reachability success or
failure of the probe. If the probe is successful, the tracked object status is Up; if it fails, the tracked object status
is Down.
track 50 ip sla 100 reachability

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

69
 Step 3: Link HSRP with the tracked object.

All data or voice subinterfaces should enable HSRP tracking.

HSRP can monitor the tracked object status. If the status is down, the HSRP priority is decremented by the
configured priority. If the decrease is large enough, the HSRP standby router preempts.
interface [interface type] [number].[sub-interface number]
standby 1 track 50 decrement 10

Example

Procedure 6 Configure loopback resiliency

The remote-site routers have in-band management configured via the loopback interface. To ensure reachability
of the loopback interface in a dual-router design, redistribute the loopback of the adjacent router into the WAN
routing protocol. The procedure varies depending on which WAN routing protocol is in use.

Option 1: MPLS CE Router with BGP

Step 1: Configure BGP to advertise the adjacent router’s loopback IP address.

router bgp 65511
network [Link] mask [Link]

Option 2: DMVPN Spoke Router or Layer 2 WAN CE Router with EIGRP

Step 1: Configure an access list to limit the redistribution to only the adjacent router’s loopback IP address.
ip access-list standard R[number]-LOOPBACK
permit [IP Address of Adjacent Router Loopback]
!
route-map REDISTRIBUTE-LIST permit 10

70
 Example
ip access-list standard R2-LOOPBACK
permit [Link]
!
route-map REDISTRIBUTE-LIST permit 10
match ip address R2-LOOPBACK

Step 2: Configure EIGRP to redistribute the adjacent router’s loopback IP address. The EIGRP stub routing must
be adjusted to permit redistributed routes.

Example: DMVPN Spoke Router

router eigrp WAN-DMVPN-1
address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 200
topology base
redistribute eigrp 100 route-map REDISTRIBUTE-LIST
exit-af-topology
eigrp stub connected summary redistributed
exit-address-family

Example: Layer 2 WAN CE Router

router eigrp WAN-LAYER2
address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 300
topology base
redistribute eigrp 100 route-map REDISTRIBUTE-LIST
exit-af-topology
eigrp stub connected summary redistributed
exit-address-family

Tech Tip

The redistributed keyword permits the EIGRP Stub Routing feature to send redistributed
routes to the hub. Without the configuration of this option, EIGRP will not advertise
redistributed routes.

With the local Internet default route redistribution into EIGRP AS100 you must take
great care to properly configure and apply the filtering during the redistribution process
to allow only the R1 loopback address. If you inadvertently advertise a default route
from a remote site back to the primary site, this will likely disrupt Internet access for all
other sites.

 Reader Tip

The procedures in this section provide examples settings. The settings and values that
you use are determined by your current network configuration.

Procedure 1 Complete the WAN remote router

Within this design, there are features and services that are common across all WAN Remote Site routers. These
are system settings that simplify and secure the management of the remote site router.

Step 1: Configure the device host name. This makes it easy to identify the device.
Hostname RS242-2951-2

Step 2: Configure the local login and password. The local login account and password provides basic access
authentication to a router, which provides only limited operational privileges. The enable password secures
access to the device configuration mode. By enabling password encryption, you prevent the disclosure of plain
text passwords when viewing configuration files.
username admin password c1sco123
enable secret c1sco123
service password-encryption
aaa new-model
By default, HTTPS access to the router uses the enable password for authentication.

Step 3: If you want management access to the network infrastructure devices (SSH and HTTPS) to be controlled
by authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA), configure centralized user authentication.

As networks scale in the number of devices to maintain, there is an operational burden to maintain local user
accounts on every device. A centralized AAA service reduces operational tasks per device and provides an
audit log of user access for security compliance and root cause analysis.

TACACS+ is the primary protocol used to authenticate management logins on the infrastructure devices to
the AAA server. A local AAA user database is also defined in Step 2 on each network infrastructure device to
provide a fallback authentication source in case the centralized TACACS+ server is unavailable.

aaa authentication login default group TACACS-SERVERS local
aaa authorization exec default group TACACS-SERVERS local
aaa authorization console
ip http authentication aaa

73
 Step 4: Secure HTTP (HTTPS) and Secure Shell (SSH) are secure replacements for the HTTP and Telnet
protocols. They use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide device
authentication and data encryption.

Enable secure management of the network device by using the SSH and HTTPS protocols. Encrypt both
protocols for privacy and turn off the unsecure protocols, Telnet and HTTP. Enable Secure Copy Protocol (SCP)
to allow IOS code upgrades using Prime Infrastructure via the SSH-based SCP protocol.

Specify the transport preferred none on vty lines in order to prevent errant connection attempts from the
CLI prompt. Without this command, if the ip name-server is unreachable, long timeout delays may occur for
mistyped commands.
ip domain-name [Link]
ip ssh version 2
no ip http server
ip http secure-server
ip scp server enable
line vty 0 15
transport input ssh
transport preferred none

Step 5: Enable synchronous logging. When synchronous logging of unsolicited messages and debug output is
turned on, console log messages are displayed on the console after interactive CLI output is displayed or printed.
With this command, you can continue typing at the device console when debugging is enabled.
line con 0
transport preferred none
logging synchronous

Step 6: Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows the network infrastructure devices
to be managed by a Network Management System (NMS). SNMPv2c is configured both for a read-only and a
read-write community string.
snmp-server community cisco RO
snmp-server community cisco123 RW

Step 7: If operational support is centralized in your network, increase network security by using an access list
to limit the networks that can access your device. In this example, only devices on the [Link]/24 network are
able to access the device via SSH or SNMP.
access-list 55 permit [Link] [Link]
line vty 0 15
access-class 55 in
!
snmp-server community cisco RO 55
snmp-server community cisco123 RW 55

Tech Tip

If you configure an access-list on the vty interface, you may lose the ability to use ssh
to log in from one router to the next for hop-by-hop troubleshooting.

 Step 8: Configure a synchronized clock. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is designed to synchronize a network
of devices. An NTP network usually gets its time from an authoritative time source, such as a radio clock or an
atomic clock attached to a time server. NTP then distributes this time across the organization’s network.

You should program network devices to synchronize to a local NTP server in the network. The local NTP server
typically references a more accurate clock feed from an outside source. By configuring console messages, logs,
and debug output to provide time stamps on output, you can cross-reference events in a network.
ntp server [Link]
!
clock timezone PST -8
clock summer-time PDT recurring
!
service timestamps debug datetime msec localtime
service timestamps log datetime msec localtime

Step 9: Configure an in-band management interface. The loopback interface is a logical interface that is always
reachable as long as the device is powered on and any IP interface is reachable to the network. Because of this
capability, the loopback address is the best way to manage the switch in-band. Layer 3 process and features are
also bound to the loopback interface to ensure process resiliency.

The loopback address is commonly a host address with a 32-bit address mask. Allocate the loopback address
from the IP address block that the distribution switch summarizes to the rest of the network.
interface Loopback 0
ip address [Link] [Link]
ip pim sparse-mode

Step 10: Bind the device processes for SNMP, SSH, PIM, TACACS+, and NTP to the loopback interface address.
This provides optimal resiliency:
snmp-server trap-source Loopback0
ip ssh source-interface Loopback0
ip pim register-source Loopback0
ip tacacs source-interface Loopback0
ntp source Loopback0

Step 11: Enable IP Multicast routing on the platforms in the global configuration mode. IP Multicast allows a
single IP data stream to be replicated by the infrastructure (routers and switches) and sent from a single source
to multiple receivers. Using IP Multicast is much more efficient than using multiple individual unicast streams or
a broadcast stream that would propagate everywhere. IP Telephony MOH and IP Video Broadcast Streaming are
two examples of IP Multicast applications.

In order to receive a particular IP Multicast data stream, end hosts must join a multicast group by sending an
IGMP message to their local multicast router. In a traditional IP Multicast design, the local router consults another
router in the network that is acting as an RP to map the receivers to active sources so they can join their streams.

This design, which is based on sparse mode multicast operation, uses Auto RP for a simple yet scalable way to
provide a highly resilient RP environment.
ip multicast-routing

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

75
 Step 12: Configure every Layer 3 switch and router to discover the IP Multicast RP with autorp. Use the ip pim
autorp listener command to allow for discovery across sparse mode links. This configuration provides for future
scaling and control of the IP Multicast environment and can change based on network needs and design.
ip pim autorp listener

Step 13: Enable sparse mode multicast operation for all Layer 3 interfaces in the network.
ip pim sparse-mode

Procedure 2 Configure remote-site access layer switching

Layer 2 EtherChannels are used to interconnect the remote site router to the access layer in the most resilient
method possible. If your access-layer device is a single, fixed-configuration switch, a simple Layer 2 trunk
between the router and switch is used.

Reader Tip

This guide includes only the additional steps to complete the access-layer
configuration. For more information about access-layer configuration, see the Campus
Wired LAN Technology Design Guide.

In the access-layer design, the remote sites use collapsed routing, with 802.1Q trunk interfaces to the LAN
access layer. The VLAN numbering is locally significant only.

Option 1: Layer 2 EtherChannel from router to access-layer switch

Step 1: Configure the port-channel interface on the router.

interface Port-channel1

Step 2: Configure EtherChannel member interfaces on the router. Configure the physical interfaces to tie to the
logical port-channel by using the channel-group command. The number for the port-channel and channel-group
must match.

 Tech Tip

Not all router platforms can support LACP to negotiate with the switch, so you
configure EtherChannel statically.

Step 3: Configure EtherChannel member interfaces on the access-layer switch. Connect the router
EtherChannel uplinks to separate switches in the access layer switch stack.

Tech Tip

The physical interfaces that are members of a Layer 2 EtherChannel are configured
prior to configuring the logical port-channel interface. Doing the configuration in
this order allows for minimal configuration and reduces errors because most of the
commands entered to a port-channel interface are copied to its members’ interfaces
and do not require manual replication.

Step 4: Configure EtherChannel trunk on the access-layer switch. Use an 802.1Q trunk for the connection,
which allows the router to provide the Layer 3 services to all the VLANs defined on the access-layer switch.
Prune the VLANs allowed on the trunk to only the VLANs that are active on the access-layer switch. When using
EtherChannel, the interface type is port-channel, and the number must match the channel group configured in
the previous step. Set DHCP Snooping and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection to trust.

78
 Step 2: Configure the Internet-facing interface to receive a DHCP address.
interface gigabit 0/0
ip address dhcp

Step 3: Configure the Internet-facing interface to install a default route with an AD value of 10.
interface gigabit 0/0
ip dhcp client default-route distance 10

Tech Tip

The default behavior is for the router to install a default static route in the local table
with an AD value of 254. We are using an AD value of 10 to ensure this path is
preferred over other learned default routes. Using an AD value of 10 allows us to prefer
this secondary link as the preferred path for Internet traffic.

Procedure 4 Configure access-layer HSRP

Configure HSRP to use a virtual IP (VIP) as a default gateway that is shared between two routers. The HSRP
active router is primary WAN router, and the HSRP standby router is the router connected to the secondary WAN
carrier or backup link.

In this procedure, you configure the HSRP active router with a standby priority that is higher than the HSRP
standby router. The router with the higher standby priority value is elected as the HSRP active router. The
preempt option allows a router with a higher priority to become the HSRP active, without waiting for a scenario
where there is no router in the HSRP active state. The relevant HSRP parameters for the router configuration are
shown in the following table.

Table 10 - WAN remote-site HSRP parameters (dual-router design)

Virtual IP address
Router HSRP role (VIP) Real IP address HSRP priority PIM DR priority
MPLS, L2, or VPN WAN Active .1 .2 110 110
(primary)
VPN WAN (secondary) Standby .1 .3 105 105

The dual-router access-layer design requires a modification for resilient multicast. The PIM designated router
(DR) should be on the HSRP active router. The DR is normally elected based on the highest IP address, and it has
no awareness of the HSRP configuration. In this design, assigning the HSRP active router a lower real IP address
than the HSRP standby router requires a modification to the PIM configuration. You can influence the PIM DR
election by explicitly setting the DR priority on the LAN-facing subinterfaces for the routers.

Tech Tip

The HSRP priority and PIM DR priority are shown in the previous table to be the same
value; however, you are not required to use identical values.

Procedure 5 Configure the transit network

Configure the transit network between the two routers. You use this network for router-router communication
and to avoid hairpinning. The transit network should use an additional subinterface on the router interface that is
already being used for data or voice.

There are no end stations connected to this network, so HSRP and DHCP are not required.

Step 1: Configure the transit network interface.

Procedure 6 Configure DMVPN

Follow these procedures to configure DMVPN for secure encrypted communications with the central site location
by using a secondary Internet WAN link on a secondary VPN WAN router.

When adding a backup link to an existing MPLS WAN or L2 WAN primary configuration, use the Primary DMVPN
cloud (DMVPN1) for the backup connection to the primary site. For VPN WAN primary configurations, use the
secondary DMVPN cloud (DMVPN-2) for the backup connection to the primary site.

 Step 3: Configure Dead Peer Detection (DPD).

The IPsec transform set for DMVPN uses the following:

• ESP with the 256-bit AES encryption algorithm
• ESP with the SHA (HMAC variant) authentication algorithm

Enable DPD with keepalive intervals sent at 30-second intervals with a 5-second retry interval, which is
considered to be a reasonable setting to detect a failed hub.
crypto isakmp keepalive 30 5

Step 4: Configure an ISAKMP profile referencing the new keyring.

crypto isakmp profile ISAKMP-INET-PUBLIC
keyring GLOBAL-KEYRING
match identity address [Link]

Step 5: Define the IPsec transform set. A transform set is an acceptable combination of security protocols,
algorithms, and other settings to apply to IPsec-protected traffic. Peers agree to use a particular transform set
when protecting a particular data flow.

The IPsec transform set for DMVPN uses the following:

• ESP with the 256-bit AES encryption algorithm
• ESP with the SHA (HMAC variant) authentication algorithm
crypto ipsec transform-set AES256/SHA/TRANSPORT esp-aes 256 esp-sha-hmac
mode transport

Tech Tip

Because the DMVPN hub router is behind a NAT device, the IPsec transform must be
configured for transport mode.

Step 6: Create the IPsec profile. The IPsec profile creates an association between an ISAKMP profile and an
IPsec transform-set.
crypto ipsec profile DMVPN-PROFILE2
set transform-set AES256/SHA/TRANSPORT

Step 7: Increase the IPsec anti-replay window size.

crypto ipsec security-association replay window-size 1024

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

83
 Tech Tip

Increasing the anti-replay window size has no impact on throughput and security. The
impact on memory is insignificant because only an extra 128 bytes per incoming IPsec
SA is needed.

It is recommended that you use the full 1024 window size in order to eliminate future
anti-replay problems.

If you do not increase the window size, the router may drop packets and you may see
the following error message on the router CLI:
%CRYPTO-4-PKT_REPLAY_ERR: decrypt: replay check failed

Step 8: Configure the DMVPN mGRE tunnel interface.

Design Guide.

Procedure 7 Configure EIGRP WAN routing

Step 1: In this configuration, you configure EIGRP to exchange routes internally with the central site and filter the
central site default route for being received over the DMVPN tunnel. Configure an EIGRP process for DMVPN
using EIGRP named mode.

For MPLS WAN and Layer 2 WAN configurations, EIGRP AS200 is configured on the router for the primary
DMVPN cloud. All interfaces on the router are EIGRP AS200 interfaces, but only the DMVPN tunnel interface is
non-passive. The network range must include all interface IP addresses either in a single network statement or in
multiple network statements. This design uses a best practice of assigning the router ID to a loopback address.

Step 2: Configure EIGRP values for the mGRE tunnel interface.

Increate the EIGRP hello interval to 20 seconds and the EIGRP hold time to 60 seconds to accommodate up to
500 remote sites on a single DMVPN cloud.

 Step 3: Configure EIGRP neighbor authentication to allow EIGRP to form neighbor relationships with MD5
authentication in order to establish secure peering adjacencies and exchange route tables over the DMVPN WAN
tunnel interface.

Step 4: Configure EIGRP route summarization.

You must advertise the remote-site LAN networks. The IP assignment for the remote sites was designed so
that all of the networks in use can be summarized within a single aggregate route. The summary address as
configured below suppresses the more specific routes. If any network within the summary is present in the route
table, the summary is advertised to the DMVPN hub, which offers a measure of resiliency. If the various LAN
networks cannot be summarized, then EIGRP continues to advertise the specific routes.

Step 6: Create a route-map to reference the access list.

 Procedure 8 Configure IP Multicast routing

This procedure includes additional steps for configuring IP Multicast for a DMVPN tunnel on a router with IP
Multicast already enabled.

Step 1: Configure PIM on the DMVPN tunnel interface.

Enable IP PIM sparse mode on the DMVPN tunnel interface.

interface Tunnel10
ip pim sparse-mode

Step 2: Enable PIM non-broadcast multiple access mode for the DMVPN tunnel.

Spoke-to-spoke DMVPN networks present a unique challenge because the spokes cannot directly exchange
information with one another, even though they are on the same logical network. This inability to directly
exchange information can also cause problems when running IP Multicast.

To resolve the NBMA issue, you need to implement a method where each remote PIM neighbor has its join
messages tracked separately. A router in PIM NBMA mode treats each remote PIM neighbor as if it were
connected to the router through a point-to-point link.
interface Tunnel10
ip pim nbma-mode

Step 3: Configure the designated router (DR) priority for the DMVPN spoke router.

Proper multicast operation across a DMVPN cloud requires that the hub router assumes the role of PIM DR.
Spoke routers should never become the DR. You can prevent that by setting the DR priority to 0 for the spoke
routers.
interface Tunnel10
ip pim dr-priority 0

Procedure 9 Configure EIGRP (LAN side)

You must configure a routing protocol between the two remote-site routers. This ensures that the HSRP active
router has full reachability information for all WAN remote sites.

Step 1: Enable the EIGRP LAN process (AS100) facing the access layer on both the primary and secondary
WAN routers.

In this design, all LAN-facing interfaces and the loopback must be EIGRP interfaces. All interfaces except the
transit-network subinterface should remain passive. The network range must include all interface IP addresses
either in a single network statement or in multiple network statements. This design uses a best practice of
assigning the router ID to a loopback address. Do not include the WAN facing interfaces (MPLS, L2 WAN, VPN
WAN) or mGRE tunnel interfaces as part of EIGRP AS100.

Step 3: Redistribute WAN routing protocol into the EIGRP LAN process.

The remote-site router is using either BGP for an MPLS connection or EIGRP for a Layer 2 WAN or DMVPN
connection. The WAN-facing routing protocol that is in use needs to be distributed into the EIGRP LAN process.
For dual router, dual DMVPN WAN configurations redistribute EIGRP AS200 into EIGRP AS100 on the primary
router and EIGRP AS201 into EIGRP AS100 on the secondary WAN router. Because the routing protocol is the
same, no default metric is required.

Procedure 10 Redistribute DHCP default route into EIGRP

For dual-router configurations, you need to redistribute the DHCP-originated default route into EIGRP AS100 for
reachability on both WAN routers.

Step 1: Configure an access list to match the default route.

ip access-list standard DHCP-DEFAULT
remark DHCP default route
permit [Link]

Step 2: Configure a route map referencing the access list that matches the default route.
route-map LOCAL-DEFAULT permit 10

Step 3: Redistribute the static default route installed by DHCP into EIGRP AS100 by using the route map.

exit-af-topology
exit-address-family

Procedure 11 Configure loopback resiliency

The remote-site routers have in-band management configured via the loopback interface. To ensure reachability
of the loopback interface in a dual-router design, redistribute the loopback of the adjacent router into the WAN
routing protocol.

Step 1: Configure an access list and a route map to limit the redistribution to only the adjacent router’s loopback
IP address.
ip access-list standard R[number]-LOOPBACK
permit [IP Address of Adjacent Router Loopback]
!
route-map REDISTRIBUTE-LIST permit 10
match ip address R[number]-LOOPBACK

Example
ip access-list standard R1-LOOPBACK
permit [Link]
!
route-map REDISTRIBUTE-LIST permit 10
match ip address R1-LOOPBACK

Deploying Local Internet Access August 2014 Series

89
 Step 2: Configure EIGRP to redistribute the adjacent router’s loopback IP address. The EIGRP stub routing must
be adjusted to permit redistributed routes.

Example: DMVPN Spoke Router

router eigrp WAN-DMVPN-1
address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 200
topology base
redistribute eigrp 100 route-map REDISTRIBUTE-LIST
exit-af-topology
eigrp stub connected summary redistributed
exit-address-family

Tech Tip

The redistributed keyword permits the EIGRP Stub Routing feature to send redistributed
routes to the hub. Without the configuration of this option, EIGRP will not advertise
redistributed routes.

With the local Internet default route redistribution into EIGRP AS100 you must take
great care to properly configure and apply the filtering during the redistribution process
to allow only the R1 loopback address. If you inadvertently advertise a default route
from a remote site back to the primary site, Internet access will likely be disrupted for
all other sites.

Procedure 12 Enable Enhanced Object Tracking

(Optional)
You may need to ensure that connectivity issues with your ISP don’t cause black-hole routing conditions.
Failure conditions can exist in which the DHCP address and route are not removed from the remote-site router
when there are connectivity issues with the broadband service or local premise equipment. There may also be
circumstances in which certain services are unreachable via the local ISP connection and you want to re-route
those services to a secondary Internet service.

This solution uses an IPSLA probe to monitor the status of the ISP connection that is used as the primary path
for local Internet traffic. In this example, the failure of probes to two different IP hosts triggers the removal of the
dynamically assigned default route. If either probe is active, the route will remain.

Step 1: Configure the IPSLA probes.

ip sla 110
icmp-echo [Link] source-interface GigabitEthernet0/0
threshold 1000
frequency 15
ip sla schedule 110 life forever start-time now
ip sla 111

track 60 ip sla 110 reachability
track 61 ip sla 111 reachability
track 62 list boolean or
object 60

Step 3: Configure ACL and route map to match and set the next-hop for the IPSLA probe traffic. This ensures
proper recovery when service is restored after a failure.
ip access-list extended SLA-SET-NEXT-HOP
permit icmp any host [Link]
permit icmp any host [Link]

Configuring Cisco IOS NAT

1. Define and configure Cisco IOS NAT policy
2. Configure NAT policy on a single router with dual Internet links

In this design, inside hosts use RFC 1918 addresses, and traffic destined to the Internet from the local site needs
to be translated to public IP space. The Internet-facing interface on the remote-site router uses DHCP to acquire
a publically routable IP address; the NAT policy here will translate inside private IP addressed hosts to this DHCP
address by using Port Address Translation (PAT).

 Procedure 1 Define and configure Cisco IOS NAT policy

Use this procedure to configure NAT on the primary Internet connection for local Internet access for both single
router and dual router remote-site configurations.

Step 1: Define a policy matching the desired traffic to be translated. Use an ACL and include all remote-site
subnets.

Step 3: Enable NAT by applying policy to the inside router interfaces. Apply this configuration as needed to
internal interfaces or sub-interfaces where traffic matching the ACL may originate, such as the data and transit
networks and any service interfaces such as Cisco UCS-E or Cisco Services Ready Engine (SRE) interfaces.

then the UCS-E interface should be part of the NAT configuration.

Step 4: Configure the Internet-facing interfaces for NAT.

 Configuring Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall
PROCESS 1. Configure base Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall parameters
2. Restrict traffic to the router
3. Enable and verify Zone-Based Firewall configuration

The following Cisco IOS firewall configuration is intended for use on Internet-facing remote site routers providing
secure local Internet access. This configuration assumes DHCP and DMVPN are also configured to use the
outside interface. To configure the required base firewall policies, complete the following procedures.

Procedure 1 Configure base Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall parameters

Step 1: If you have existing VPN WAN configurations, remove the inbound ACL from the Internet-facing router
interfaces, and then shut down the interface before continuing. This prevents unauthorized traffic while the
ZBFW is configured.
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
shutdown
no ip access-list extended ACL-INET-PUBLIC

Step 2: Define security zones. A zone is a named group of interfaces that have similar functions or security
requirements. This example defines the names of the two basic security zones identified.
zone security INSIDE
zone security OUTSIDE

Step 3: Define a class map to match specific protocols. Class-maps apply match-any or match-all operators
in order to determine how to apply the match criteria to the class. If match-any is specified, traffic must meet at
least one of the match criteria in the class-map to be included in the class. If match-all is specified, traffic must
meet all of the match criteria to be included in the class.
class-map type inspect match-any INSIDE-TO-OUTSIDE-CLASS
match protocol ftp
match protocol tcp
match protocol udp
match protocol icmp

Tech Tip

Protocols that use single ports such as HTTP, telnet, SSH, etc. can be statefully allowed
with tcp inspection alone by using the match protocol tcp command.

Protocols such as ftp that use multiple ports (one for control and another for data)
require application inspection in order to enable dynamic adjustments to the active
firewall policy. The specific TCP ports that are required for the application are allowed
for short durations, as necessary.

Deploying Remote Site Security August 2014 Series

96
 Step 4: Define policy maps. A policy is an association of traffic classes and actions. It specifies what actions
should be performed on defined traffic classes. In this case, you statefully inspect the outbound session so that
return traffic is permitted.
policy-map type inspect INSIDE-TO-OUTSIDE-POLICY
class type inspect INSIDE-TO-OUTSIDE-CLASS
inspect
class class-default
drop

Tech Tip

An action is a specific functionality that is associated with a traffic class. Inspect, drop,
and pass are actions.

With the inspect action, return traffic is automatically allowed for established
connections. The pass action permits traffic in one direction only. When using the pass
action, you must explicitly define rules for return traffic.

Step 5: Define the zone pair and apply the policy map. A zone pair represents two defined zones and identifies
the source and destination zones where a unidirectional firewall policy-map is applied. This configuration uses
only one zone pair as all traffic is inspected and thus allowed to return.
zone-pair security IN_OUT source INSIDE destination OUTSIDE
service-policy type inspect INSIDE-TO-OUTSIDE-POLICY

Procedure 2 Restrict traffic to the router

The router itself is defined by Cisco IOS Software using the fixed name self as a separate security zone. The self
zone is the exception to the default deny-all policy.

All traffic destined to or originating from the router itself (local traffic) on any interface is allowed until traffic is
explicitly denied. In other words, any traffic flowing directly between defined zones and the router’s IP interfaces
is implicitly allowed and is not initially controlled by zone firewall policies.

This default behavior of the self zone ensures that connectivity to the router’s management interfaces and the
function of routing protocols is maintained when an initial zone firewall configuration is applied to the router.

Specific rules that control traffic to the self zone are required. When you configure a ZBFW rule that includes the
self zone, traffic between the self zone and the other defined zones is immediately restricted in both directions.

Deploying Remote Site Security August 2014 Series

97
 The following configuration allows the required traffic for proper remote-site router configuration with DMVPN.
ESP and DHCP cannot be inspected and need to be configured with a “pass” action in the policy, using separate
ACL and class-maps. ISAKMP should be configured with the “inspect” action and thus needs to be broken out
with a separate ACL and class-maps for inbound and outbound policies.

Tech Tip

More specific ACLs than are shown here with the “any” keyword are recommended for
added security.

Step 1: In the following steps, define access lists.

Step 2: Define an ACL allowing traffic with a destination of the router itself from the OUTSIDE zone. This includes
ISAKMP for inbound tunnel initiation. This traffic can be inspected and is identified in the following ACL.
ip access-list extended ACL-RTR-IN
permit udp any any eq non500-isakmp
permit udp any any eq isakmp
permit icmp any any echo
permit icmp any any echo-reply
permit icmp any any ttl-exceeded
permit icmp any any port-unreachable
permit udp any any gt 1023 ttl eq 1

Step 3: Identify traffic for IPSEC tunnel initiation that will originate from the router (self zone) to the OUTSIDE
zone. This traffic can be inspected.
ip access-list extended ACL-RTR-OUT
permit udp any any eq non500-isakmp
permit udp any any eq isakmp
permit icmp any any

Step 4: Configure DHCP ACL to allow the router to acquire a public IP address dynamically from the ISP. This
traffic needs to be defined separately for server and client and cannot be inspected.
ip access-list extended DHCP-IN
permit udp any eq bootps any eq bootpc

ip access-list extended DHCP-OUT

permit udp any eq bootpc any eq bootps

Step 5: Configure ESP ACL to allow the router to establish IPSEC communications for DMVPN. ESP needs to be
explicitly allowed inbound and outbound in separate ACLs. ESP cannot be inspected.
ip access-list extended ESP-IN
permit esp any any

ip access-list extended ESP-OUT

permit esp any any

Deploying Remote Site Security August 2014 Series

98
 Step 6: Define class maps for traffic to and from the self zone. Separate class-maps are required for inbound
and outbound initiated flows as well as for traffic that can be inspected by the router.

Class-map matching inbound traffic that can be inspected:

class-map type inspect match-any INSPECT-ACL-IN-CLASS
match access-group name ACL-RTR-IN
Class-map matching outbound traffic that can be inspected:
class-map type inspect match-any INSPECT-ACL-OUT-CLASS
match access-group name ACL-RTR-OUT
Class-map matching inbound traffic that is not able to be inspected:
class-map type inspect match-any PASS-ACL-IN-CLASS
match access-group name ESP-IN
match access-group name DHCP-IN
Class-map matching outbound traffic that cannot be inspected:
class-map type inspect match-any PASS-ACL-OUT-CLASS
match access-group name ESP-OUT
match access-group name DHCP-OUT

Step 7: Define policy maps. Create two separate policies, one for traffic inbound and one for traffic outbound.

Inbound policy-map that refers to both of the outbound class-maps with actions of inspect, pass, and drop for
the appropriate class defined:
policy-map type inspect ACL-IN-POLICY
class type inspect INSPECT-ACL-IN-CLASS
inspect
class type inspect PASS-ACL-IN-CLASS
pass
class class-default
drop
Outbound policy-map that refers to both of the outbound class-maps with actions of inspect, pass, and drop for
the appropriate class defined:
policy-map type inspect ACL-OUT-POLICY
class type inspect INSPECT-ACL-OUT-CLASS
inspect
class type inspect PASS-ACL-OUT-CLASS
pass
class class-default
drop

Tech Tip

Inspection for Layer 7 applications is not allowed for traffic going to and from the self
zone to other zones. Cisco IOS firewalls support only inspection of TCP, UDP, and
H.323 traffic that terminates on or originates from the router itself.

Traffic such as DHCP and ESP cannot be inspected and must be configured as “Pass”
in the associated policy-map.

 Tech Tip

By default, traffic is allowed to flow between interfaces that are members of the same
zone, while a default “deny-all” policy is applied to traffic moving between zones.

Depending on the remote site configuration, be sure to include MPLS, DMVPN tunnels,
transit sub-interfaces, and service interfaces such as Cisco UCS-E members of the
security zone INSIDE. Failure to include interfaces in to the INSIDE zone will cause
traffic not to flow as expected.

In the case of single–router dual DMVPN configurations, ensure that both Internet-
facing interfaces are defined as security zone OUTSIDE.

Loopback interfaces are members of the “self” zone and are not assigned to a defined
security zone.

Step 2: Verify the interface assignment for the zone firewall and ensure all required interfaces for the remote site
configuration are assigned to the proper zone.

Configuring General Router Security

1. Disable IP ICMP redirects
2. Disable ICMP Unreachables
PROCESS

3. Disable Proxy ARP

4. Disable unused router services
5. Disable CDP and LLDP
6. Enable keepalives for TCP sessions
7. Configure Internal network floating static routes
8. Enable Internet interfaces

In addition to the security measures already taken in prior configuration tasks, this section introduces best
practices recommendations to secure Internet-facing routers. Disabling unused services and features for
networking devices improves the overall security posture by minimizing the amount of information exposed.
This practice also minimizes the amount of router CPU and memory load that is required to process unneeded
packets.

Tech Tip

These are general security guidelines only. Additional measures may be taken to
secure remote site routers on a case-by-case basis. Care should be taken to ensure
the disabling of certain features does not impact other functions of the network.

Deploying Remote Site Security August 2014 Series

104
 Procedure 1 Disable IP ICMP redirects

ICMP redirect messages are used by routers to notify that a better route is available for a given destination. In
this situation, the router forwards the packet and sends an ICMP redirect message back to the sender advising of
an alternative and preferred route to the destination. In many implementations, there is no benefit in permitting
this behavior. An attacker can generate traffic forcing the router to respond with ICMP redirect messages,
negatively impacting the CPU and performance of the router. This can be prevented by disabling ICMP redirect
messages.

Step 1: Disable ICMP redirect messages on Internet-facing router interfaces.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
description Internet Connection
no ip redirects

Procedure 2 Disable ICMP Unreachables

When filtering on router interfaces, routers send ICMP unreachable messages back to the source of blocked
traffic. Generating these messages can increase CPU utilization on the router. By default, Cisco IOS ICMP
unreachable messages are limited to one every 500 milliseconds. ICMP unreachable messages can be disabled
on a per interface basis.

Step 1: Disable ICMP unreachable messages on Internet-facing router interfaces.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
description Internet Connection
no ip unreachables

Procedure 3 Disable Proxy ARP

Proxy ARP allows the router to respond to ARP request for hosts other than itself. Proxy ARP can help machines
on a subnet reach remote subnets without configuring routing or a default gateway as defined in RFC 1027.
There are some disadvantages to utilizing proxy ARP, including the following:
• An attacker can impact available memory by sending a large number of ARP requests.
• A router is also susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks where a host on the network could be used to
spoof the MAC address of the router, resulting in unsuspecting hosts sending traffic to the attacker.

Proxy ARP can be disabled using the interface configuration command

Step 1: Disable proxy ARP on Internet-facing router interfaces.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
description Internet Connection
no ip proxy-arp

Deploying Remote Site Security August 2014 Series

105
 Procedure 4 Disable unused router services

As a security best practice, all unnecessary services should be disabled that could be used to launch denial of
service (DoS) and other attacks. Many unused services that pose a security threat are disabled by default in
current Cisco IOS versions. The following services and features are recommended to be disabled.

Step 1: Disable Maintenance Operation Protocol (MOP) on Internet-facing router interfaces.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
description Internet Connection
no mop enabled

Step 2: Disable Packet Assembler/Disassembler (PAD) service globally on the router.

no service pad

Step 3: Prevent the router from attempting to locate a configuration file via TFTP globally on the router.
no service config

Procedure 5 Disable CDP and LLDP

CDP and LLDP can be used by an attacker for reconnaissance and network mapping. Cisco Discovery Protocol
(CDP) is a network protocol that is used to discover other CDP-enabled devices. CDP is often used by Network
Management Systems (NMS) and for troubleshooting networking problems. Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
is an IEEE protocol that is defined in 802.1AB and is very similar to CDP. CDP and LLDP should be disabled on
router interfaces that connect to untrusted networks.

Step 1: If necessary, disable CDP on Internet-facing router interfaces.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
description Internet Connection
no cdp enable

Step 2: Disable LLDP on Internet-facing router interfaces.

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
description Internet Connection
no lldp transmit
no lldp receive

Procedure 6 Enable keepalives for TCP sessions

This configuration enables TCP keepalives on inbound connections to the router and outbound connections from
the router. This ensures that the device on the remote end of the connection is still accessible and half-open or
orphaned connections are removed from the router.

Step 1: Enable the TCP keepalives service for inbound and outbound connections globally on the router.
Configuration commands enable a device
service tcp-keepalives-in
service tcp-keepalives-out

Deploying Remote Site Security August 2014 Series

 Procedure 7 Configure Internal network floating static routes

In the event the DMVPN tunnel to the hub site fails, you will want to ensure traffic destined to internal networks
does not follow the local Internet default route. It’s best to have the network fail closed to prevent possible
security implications and unwanted routing behavior.

Configuring floating static routes to null zero with an AD of 254 ensures that all internal subnets route to null0 in
the event of tunnel failure.

Step 1: Configure static route for internal network subnets.

ip route [Link] [Link] null0 254

Tech Tip

Configure the appropriate number of null 0 routes for internal network ranges, using
summaries when possible for your specific network environment.

Procedure 8 Enable Internet interfaces

Now that the security configurations are complete, you can enable the Internet-facing interfaces.

Step 1: Enable the Internet-facing router interfaces.

Deploying WAN Quality of Service
When configuring the WAN-edge QoS, you are defining how traffic egresses your network. It is critical that the
classification, marking, and bandwidth allocations align to the service provider offering to ensure consistent QoS
treatment end-to-end. QoS policies for private and public WAN solutions differ as public Internet-based WAN
using DMVPN is limited by nature of best effort Internet services.

Configuring Public Cloud WAN QoS

1. Create the QoS Maps to classify traffic
PROCESS

2. Add ISAKMP traffic to network-critical

3. Define the policy map to use queuing policy
4. Configure the physical interface S&Q policy
5. Apply WAN QoS policy to the physical interface
6. Configure Per-tunnel QoS NHRP policy on DMVPN spoke routers
7. Configure IPSEC anti-replay window size

With Internet-based WAN services, QoS preservation across the public Internet is not guaranteed. For best effort
in this use case, egress traffic classification prioritizes traffic as it leaves the remote-site router, paying special
attention to the priority of DMVPN ISAKMP traffic.

Use the following configuration to define a QoS policy for traffic using public Internet-based WAN services with
DMVPN.

The Per-Tunnel QoS for the DMVPN feature allows the configuration of a QoS policy on a DMVPN hub router on
a per-tunnel (spoke) basis. With Per-Tunnel QoS, a QoS policy is applied outbound for DMVPN hub-to-spoke
tunnels, thus increasing per-tunnel performance for IPsec traffic.

Traffic is regulated from the central site (hub) routers to the remote-site routers on a per-tunnel (spoke) basis.
The hub site is unable to send more traffic than a single remote site can handle and ensure that high bandwidth
remote sites do not overrun other remote sites.

Procedure 1 Create the QoS Maps to classify traffic

This procedure applies to all WAN routers.

Use the class-map command to define a traffic class and identify traffic to associate with the class name. These
class names are used when configuring policy maps that define actions you want to take against the traffic
type. The class-map command sets the match logic. In this case, the match-any keyword indicates that the
maps match any of the specified criteria. This keyword is followed by the name you want to assign to the class
of service. After you have configured the class-map command, you define specific values, such as DSCP and
protocols to match with the match command. You use the following two forms of the match command: match
dscp and match protocol.

Deploying WAN Quality of Service August 2014 Series

108
 Using the following steps, configure the required WAN class-maps and matching criteria.

Step 1: Create the class maps for DSCP matching. Repeat this step for each of the six WAN classes of service
listed in the following table.

You do not need to explicitly configure the default class.

class-map match-any [class-map name]
match dscp [dcsp value] [optional additional dscp value(s)]

 Tech Tip

You do not need to configure a Best-Effort Class. This is implicitly included within
class-default, as shown in Procedure 4, “Configure the physical interface S&Q policy.”

Procedure 2 Add ISAKMP traffic to network-critical

For a WAN connection using DMVPN, you need to ensure proper treatment of ISAKMP traffic in the WAN. You
classify this traffic by creating an access-list and adding the access-list name to the NETWORK-CRITICAL class-
map created in Procedure 1, “Create the QoS Maps to classify traffic.”

This procedure is only required for a WAN-aggregation DMVPN hub router or a WAN remote-site DMVPN spoke
router.

Step 1: Create the access-list.

ip access-list extended ISAKMP
permit udp any eq isakmp any eq isakmp

Step 2: Add the match criteria to the existing NETWORK-CRITICAL class-map.

class-map match-any NETWORK-CRITICAL
match access-group name ISAKMP

Procedure 3 Define the policy map to use queuing policy

This procedure applies to all WAN routers.

The WAN policy map references the class names you created in the previous procedures and defines the
queuing behavior along with the maximum guaranteed bandwidth allocated to each class. This specification is
accomplished with the use of a policy-map. Then, each class within the policy map invokes an egress queue,
assigns a percentage of bandwidth, and associates a specific traffic class to that queue. One additional default
class defines the minimum allowed bandwidth available for best effort traffic.

Tech Tip

The local router policy maps define seven classes while most service providers offer
only six classes of service. The NETWORK-CRITICAL policy map is defined to ensure
the correct classification, marking, and queuing of network-critical traffic on egress to
the WAN. After the traffic has been transmitted to the service provider, the network-
critical traffic is typically remapped by the service provider into the critical data class.
Most providers perform this remapping by matching on DSCP values cs6 and cs2.

Step 1: Create the parent policy map.

policy-map [policy-map-name]

Step 2: Apply the previously created class-map.

class [class-name]

Deploying WAN Quality of Service August 2014 Series

110
 Step 3: If you want, assign the maximum guaranteed bandwidth for the class.
bandwidth percent [percentage]

Step 4: If you want, define the priority queue for the class.
priority percent [percentage]

Step 5: If you want, define the congestion mechanism.

random-detect [type]

Step 6: Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 for each class in Table 13, including class-default.

Example
policy-map WAN
class VOICE
priority percent 10
class INTERACTIVE-VIDEO
priority percent 23
class CRITICAL-DATA
bandwidth percent 15
random-detect dscp-based
class DATA
bandwidth percent 19
random-detect dscp-based
class SCAVENGER
bandwidth percent 5
class NETWORK-CRITICAL
bandwidth percent 3
class class-default
bandwidth percent 25
random-detect

Tech Tip

Although these bandwidth assignments represent a good baseline, it is important to

consider your actual traffic requirements per class and adjust the bandwidth settings
accordingly.

Procedure 4 Configure the physical interface S&Q policy

With WAN interfaces using Ethernet as an access technology, the demarcation point between the enterprise
and service provider may no longer have a physical-interface bandwidth constraint. Instead, a specified amount
of access bandwidth is contracted with the service provider. To ensure the offered load to the service provider
does not exceed the contracted rate that results in the carrier discarding traffic, you need to configure shaping
on the physical interface. This shaping is accomplished with a QoS service policy. You configure a QoS service
policy on the outside Ethernet interface, and this parent policy includes a shaper that then references a second
or subordinate (child) policy that enables queuing within the shaped rate.

Deploying WAN Quality of Service August 2014 Series

111
 This is called a hierarchical Class-Based Weighted Fair Queuing (HCBWFQ) configuration. When you configure
the shape average command, ensure that the value matches the contracted bandwidth rate from your service
provider.

This procedure applies to all WAN routers. You can repeat this procedure multiple times to support devices that
have multiple WAN connections attached to different interfaces.

Step 1: Create the parent policy map.

As a best practice, embed the interface name within the name of the parent policy map.
policy-map [policy-map-name]

Step 2: Configure the shaper.

class [class-name]
shape [average | peak] [bandwidth (kbps)]

Step 3: Apply the child service policy.

service-policy [policy-map-name]

Example
This example shows a router with a 20-Mbps link on interface GigabitEthernet0/0 and a 10-Mbps link on
interface GigabitEthernet0/1.
policy-map WAN-INTERFACE-G0/0
class class-default
shape average 20000000
service-policy WAN
!
policy-map WAN-INTERFACE-G0/1
class class-default
shape average 10000000
service-policy WAN

Procedure 5 Apply WAN QoS policy to the physical interface

To invoke shaping and queuing on a physical interface, you must apply the parent policy that you configured in
the previous procedure.

This procedure applies to all WAN routers. You can repeat this procedure multiple times to support devices that
have multiple WAN connections attached to different interfaces.

Step 1: Select the WAN interface.

interface [interface type] [number]

Step 2: Apply the WAN QoS policy.

The service policy needs to be applied in the outbound direction.

Procedure 6 Configure Per-tunnel QoS NHRP policy on DMVPN spoke routers

This procedure applies to all WAN remote-site DMVPN routers.

Step 1: Apply the NHRP group policy to the DMVPN tunnel interface on the corresponding remote-site router.
Use the NHRP group name as defined on the hub router in the previous procedure.
interface Tunnel10
ip nhrp group [NHRP GROUP Policy Name]

Example
The following shows a remote site using a 10-Mbps policy.
interface Tunnel10
ip nhrp group RS-GROUP-10MBPS
The following shows corresponding hub site configuration NHRP policy mappings.
interface Tunnel10
ip nhrp map group RS-GROUP-10MBPS service-policy output RS-GROUP-10MBPS-POLICY

Reader Tip

For more information about configuration details for VPN WAN Per-Tunnel QoS
policies, see the VPN WAN Technology Design Guide.

Procedure 7 Configure IPSEC anti-replay window size

Cisco IOS Software provides anti-replay protection against an attacker duplicating encrypted packets.

IPsec security association (SA) anti-replay is a security service in which the decrypting router can reject
duplicate packets and protect itself against replay attacks.

Cisco quality of service (QoS) gives priority to high-priority packets, which may cause some low-priority packets
to be discarded. By expanding the IPsec anti-replay window you can allow the router to keep track of more than
64 packets.

Step 1: Increase the anti-replay window size.

crypto ipsec security-association replay window-size 1024

Deploying WAN Quality of Service August 2014 Series

113
 Tech Tip

Increasing the anti-replay window size has no impact on throughput and security. The
impact on memory is insignificant because only an extra 128 bytes per incoming IPsec
SA is needed.

It is recommended that you use the full 1024 window size in order to eliminate future
anti-replay problems.

If you do not increase the window size, you may encounter dropped packets and the
following error message on the router CLI:
%CRYPTO-4-PKT_REPLAY_ERR: decrypt: replay check failed
