# setup-dmvpn This guide explains how to set up a Dynamic Multipoint VPN using `setup-dmvpn`. ## Certificate Authority Install the Certificate Authority (CA) tool on a secure host:
apk add dmvpn-caConfigure the CA by editing `/etc/dmvpn-ca.conf`. In this example, the following configuration is used:
hub: hosts: - hubs.example.com subnets: - '10.0.0.0/8' - '172.18.0.0/16' - 'fd00::/32'The `hosts` attribute specifies the IPv4 addresses of the hubs or DNS name(s) resolving to those. In this example, it is assumed that resolution of `hubs.example.com` yields an A record for each hub. The `subnets` attribute is a list of subnets used in the VPN. This should include the address ranges of all sites and the GRE tunnel addresses. In this example, the following IP address scheme is used:
IPv4 | IPv6 | |
---|---|---|
Hub GRE address | 172.18.0.<hub id> | fd00::<hub id> |
Site VPNc GRE address | 172.18.<site id>.<vpnc id> | fd00::<site id>:<vpnc id> |
Site subnet | 10.<site id>.0.0/16 | fd00:0:<site id>::/48 |
dmvpn-ca root-cert generateCreate the configuration for hubs and sites. In this example, there are two hubs and two sites. Each site has two VPN concentrators (VPNcs) for redundancy.
dmvpn-ca hub create dmvpn-ca gre-addr add 172.18.0.1 hub 1 dmvpn-ca gre-addr add fd00::1 hub 1 dmvpn-ca hub create dmvpn-ca gre-addr add 172.18.0.2 hub 2 dmvpn-ca gre-addr add fd00::2 hub 2 dmvpn-ca site add FIN dmvpn-ca subnet add 10.1.0.0/16 site FIN dmvpn-ca subnet add fd00:0:1::/48 site FIN dmvpn-ca vpnc create site FIN dmvpn-ca gre-addr add 172.18.1.1 site FIN vpnc 1 dmvpn-ca gre-addr add fd00::1:1 site FIN vpnc 1 dmvpn-ca vpnc create site FIN dmvpn-ca gre-addr add 172.18.1.2 site FIN vpnc 2 dmvpn-ca gre-addr add fd00::1:2 site FIN vpnc 2 dmvpn-ca site add SWE dmvpn-ca subnet add 10.2.0.0/16 site SWE dmvpn-ca subnet add fd00:0:2::/48 site SWE dmvpn-ca vpnc create site SWE dmvpn-ca gre-addr add 172.18.2.1 site SWE vpnc 1 dmvpn-ca gre-addr add fd00::2:1 site SWE vpnc 1 dmvpn-ca vpnc create site SWE dmvpn-ca gre-addr add 172.18.2.2 site SWE vpnc 2 dmvpn-ca gre-addr add fd00::2:2 site SWE vpnc 2Finally, generate the keys and certificates for the hubs and VPNcs:
dmvpn-ca cert generateThis commands generates a PFX file for each hub and VPNc, for example:
# ls FIN_1.9D6JLGHlLmTG4bVR.pfx SWE_1.caN3yapMTpZbIVP4.pfx _1.hy62AqLIUJcFuT1U.pfx FIN_2.fXbw4HwqkLXlIbtk.pfx SWE_2.0BElySor2L8fm6e2.pfx _2.cDLUvB8XALBkD2vP.pfxThe encrypted file contains the individual certificate, the corresponding private key, and the root certificate. The password is embedded in the file name. The file should be renamed when using out-of-band delivery for the password. ## Setting Up a Hub Install the `dmvpn` package on the host to be configured as a DMVPN hub. It is assumed that the network configuration of the host is already in place.
apk add dmvpnExecute the setup tool using the hub's PFX file, answering the questions prompted. The password is deduced from the file name unless renamed. Enter the prefix lengths that uniquely identify the site. The default values are valid for this example. The prefix length may vary among the sites, in which case the maximum length should be given.
setup-dmvpn <pfx file>The hub is now operational. The tool sets up the `iptables` firewall automatically using `awall`. Firewall for IPv6 (`ip6tables`) is set up only if IPv6 addresses are defined for the VPN. Due to an unresolved issue, you may have to reboot the host if VPN tunnels are not established within a reasonable time. ## Setting Up a Site VPNc (Spoke) Install the `dmvpn` package on the host to be configured as a DMVPN spoke. It is assumed that the host is already configured as a router to the site subnet.
apk add dmvpnExecute the setup tool using the spoke's PFX file, answering the questions prompted. The password is deduced from the file name unless renamed.
setup-dmvpn <pfx file>The spoke is now operational. Firewall rules are not set up automatically for the spokes. Due to an unresolved issue, you may have to reboot the host if VPN tunnels are not established within a reasonable time.
