Example for Configuring DSVPN in Shortcut Mode (OSPF)

Networking Requirements

In a large enterprise, the HQ hub connects to branch spokes over the public network, and Spoke 1 and Spoke 2 also connect over the public network. Spokes use dynamic IP addresses to connect to the public network. The HQ hub and branch spokes are located in different areas, and the subnet environments of the HQ and branches change frequently. The enterprise wants to use a VPN for communication between branch spokes. To meet this requirement, deploy dynamic routing (OSPF) based on enterprise network planning and configure DSVPN in shortcut mode to realize direct communication between Spoke 1 and Spoke 2. Figure 1 shows the related networking.

Figure 1 Networking diagram for configuring DSVPN in shortcut mode

Interface 1 in this example represents GE 0/1/0.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Because branches access the public network through dynamic IP addresses, branches are unaware of each other's public IP address. Therefore, configure DSVPN to interconnect branches.
Because a large number of branches exist, configure DSVPN in shortcut mode.
Because the subnet environments of the HQ and branches frequently change, deploy OSPF based on enterprise network planning for communication between the HQ and branches to simplify maintenance.

Procedure

Configure interface IP addresses.

Configure interface IP addresses on each device.

# Configure interface IP addresses on Hub.

Assign an IP address to each interface of Spoke 1 and Spoke 2 according to Figure 1. The configurations of the spokes are similar to the configuration of the hub.

Configure public network routes between devices to implement connectivity.

Configure OSPF on each device to ensure that the public network routes are available.

The configuration on a spoke subnet is given as an example. Perform the same configuration on other spoke subnets. If a spoke subnet is changed, you only need to configure the dynamic routing policy on the local device.

Enable NHRP globally.
# Configure Hub.
```
[~Hub] nhrp enable
```
The configurations of the spokes are similar to the configuration of the hub. For configuration details, see Configuration Files.

Configure tunnel interfaces.

Set the OSPF network type to P2MP on Hub and spokes. Enable the NHRP redirection function on the hub. Configure NHRP mapping entries related to Hub and enable the NHRP shortcut function on Spoke 1 and Spoke 2.

# Configure a tunnel interface and OSPF route attributes and enable the NHRP redirection function on Hub.
