Information About FlexVPN Spoke to Spoke

FlexVPN and NHRP

FlexVPN is Cisco’s implementation of the IKEv2 standard featuring a unified paradigm and CLI that combines site to site, remote access, hub and spoke topologies and partial meshes (spoke to spoke direct). FlexVPN offers a simple but modular framework that extensively uses the tunnel interface paradigm while remaining compatible with legacy VPN implementations using the crypto maps.

The FlexVPN server provides the server side functionality of FlexVPN. The FlexVPN client establishes a secure IPsec VPN tunnel between a FlexVPN client and another FlexVPN server.

NHRP is an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)-like protocol that alleviates nonbroadcast multiaccess (NBMA) network problems. With NHRP, NHRP entities attached to an NBMA network dynamically learn the NBMA address of the other entities that are part of that network, allowing these entities to directly communicate without requiring traffic to use an intermediate hop.

The FlexVPN Spoke to Spoke feature integrates NHRP and FlexVPN client (spoke) to establish a direct crypto channel with another client in an existing FlexVPN network. The connections are built using virtual tunnel interfaces (VTI), IKEv2 and NHRP, where NHRP is used for resolving the FlexVPN clients in the network.

The following is recommended in FlexVPN:

  • Routing entries are not exchanged between spokes.
  • Different profiles are used for the spokes and the config-exchange command is not configured for the spokes.

The FlexVPN IPv6 Direct Spoke to Spoke feature supports the use of IPv6 addresses for FlexVPN spokes. The support for IPv6 addresses provides support for IPv6 over IPv4, IPv4 over IPv6, and IPv6 over IPv6 transports.

The Multiple FlexVPN Spokes Behind a Single NAT Device feature supports multiple spokes behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) device on FlexVPN.

NHRP Resolution Request and Reply in FlexVPN

The following diagram illustrates the NHRP resolution request and reply in FlexVPN.

Figure 1. NHRP Resolution Request and Reply

Due to bidirectional traffic, similar events occur in both directions at Spoke1, Spoke2, and hub. For clarity, events from Host1 to Host2 are discussed. Assume that there is a network N1 (192.168.1.0/24) behind Spoke1 and another network N2 (192.168.2.0/24) behind Spoke2. The network between the two spokes is matched through an access control list (ACL). This is because ACLs are applied on the IKEv2 policies on both spokes.

The network along with its prefix information from both the spokes is conveyed to the hub via IKEv2 information payload exchanges. This causes a route addition in the routing table by IKEv2 at the hub as follows:

  • 192.168.1.0/24—Connected via virtual access interface1

  • 192.168.2.0/24—Connected via virtual access interface2

The hub will push a summarized route via IKEv2 to both spokes, and the spokes will install the route in their routing table as follows:

  • 192.168.0.0/16—next hop <tunnel address of the hub> - interface Tunnel 1


Note

The routing protocol can also add the route to the routing table.

Assuming that traffic moves from N1 to N2, the traffic flow is as follows:

  1. Host1 sends traffic destined to Host2. The traffic reaches the LAN interface of spoke1, looks up the route, hits the summarized route, and routes the packet to interface tunnel 1.

  2. When the traffic reaches the hub’s virtual access interface1, the traffic looks up the route table for a route entry for N2, either directly connected over virtual access interface 2 or via a point-to-point tunnel interface.

  3. The traffic from Host1 to Host2 traverses the hub through virtual access interface1 and virtual access interface2. The hub determines that ingress and the egress interfaces (virtual access interface1 and virtual access interface2) belong to same NHRP network (network D configured on both the interfaces). The hub sends out an NHRP redirect message to spoke1 on virtual access interface1.

  4. On receiving the redirect, Spoke1 initiates a resolution request for Host2 over the point-to-point tunnel interface (the same interface over which it received the redirect). The resolution request traverses the routed path (Spoke1-hub-spoke2). On receiving the resolution request, Spoke2 determines that it is the exit point and needs to respond to the resolution request.

  5. Spoke2 receives the resolution request on the tunnel interface and retrieves the virtual template number from the tunnel interface. The virtual template number is used to create the virtual access interface to start a crypto channel and establishes IKEv2 and IPsec security associations (SAs). Once the crypto SAs between the two spokes are up, Spoke2 installs the necessary NHRP cache entries for Spoke1 and its network under the newly created virtual access interface and sends out the resolution reply over the virtual access interface.

  6. After receiving the resolution request over the virtual access interface, Spoke1 installs the necessary cache entries for Spoke2 and its network. Spoke1 also deletes the temporary cache entry pointing to the hub to resolve the network under tunnel interface1.

  7. NHRP adds shortcut routes as next-hop override (NHO) or H route. For more information on shortcut switching, refer to Shortcut Switching Enhancements for NHRP in DMVPN Networks.

   NBMA address: 4001::2000:3
          Displays the NHRP cache entries. In the first example, the output indicates that the transport is IPv4 (NBMA address). The remote spoke is behind Network Address Translation (NAT), as indicated by the Claimed NBMA address field, which is the pre-NAT address of the remote spoke. The cache entries also show the flags associated with each spoke, indicating the kind of route that has been inserted for each entry in the routing table. Next-Hop-Override (NHO) indicates the shortcut route. The rib flag indicates addition of an NHRP H route for that cache entry. The second example indicates that the transport is IPv6 (NBMA address). The remote spoke is not behind NAT, as indicated by the absence of claimed address in the output.

          Troubleshooting Tips for FlexVPN Spoke Configuration

          Here are few tips for troubleshooting FlexVPN spoke configuration:

          1. Verify the connection between the spokes.
          2. Check the configuration on the client (spoke) and the server.
          3. Check the reachability of the remote hosts behind the spokes.
          4. Verify the routing protocol configuration that is used to advertise the routes.
          5. Verify that IKEv2 and IPsec are configured properly.
          6. Verify the NHRP shortcut configuration on the spoke and the redirect configuration on the server (hub).

          Problem

          Troubleshooting Tips

          Spoke to hub connection is not created.

          A connection may not be created due to the absence of virtual access interfaces created at the hub.

          • Check the connectivity between the hub and spoke.
          • Use the show crypto session command to check the state of security associations (SAs) on the hub and spoke.

          • If SAs are active (as displayed in the show crypto session command), verify the output of the show crypto ikev2 client flexvpn command on the state of FlexVPN on the spoke.

          Spoke to spoke tunnel is not created.

          Traffic must flow from spoke to spoke via the hub to initiate a spoke to spoke tunnel.

          • Verify the hub configuration to check if NHRP redirect is enabled.
          • Verify the spoke configuration to check if NHRP shortcut is enabled.
          • Verify the configuration in the FlexVPN server (hub) by using the show ip [ipv6] nhrp traffic command whether the hub has sent a traffic indirection to the spoke.
          • Verify the spokes have received the traffic and sent a resolution request by using either the show ip [ipv6] nhrp traffic command.
          • Verify the presence of NHRP cache entries for remote host and spoke on either spoke by using the show ip [ipv6] nhrp command.
          • Use the show ip [ipv6] nhrp traffic command on the remote spoke to verify that the resolution request is received.
          • Use the show crypto ikev2 sa command and the show crypto session command to verify that the spoke has received the resolution request and initiated a crypto session.
          • Use the show ip [ipv6] interface brief command to check if the virtual-access interface is present on both spokes.
          • Use the show ip [ipv6] nhrp traffic command on the spokes to verify that the resolution reply has been sent, and received by the peer on the virtual-access interface.
          • Use the show ip [ipv6] nhrp command to verify that the complete NHRP cache entries are present for the remote host and on all the spokes.
          • Use the show ip [ipv6] route command to check for the presence of H routes and/or next-hop-override (NHO) routes.
